If this kind of post does not belong here tell me where to go, I have bought the parts and built 3 PC's so im not really looking for a full guide. I would just like to get some second opinions so i can buy the best bang for the buck parts. Here are some guidelines: 800$ budget in total including shipping and everything. Preferably a overclock-able i5 or i7 processor I think gtx 970 is sweet-spot here but if you think something else would be better I can find the storage on my own Whatever motherboard fits with the processor, preferably sata 6.0, Usb 3.0, 8gb memory is fine for me, preferably 1600mhz Small case These are just guidelines you do not have to follow them, what do you think i should do?
If you're mostly just gaming and light work on the side then an i7 is definitely a waste.
