Go with something like this
The periferals are better in the one I posted and so is the monitor also the gpu is alot fater than the 560
Ok thanks.
I think you could cut back on the PSU unless you intend to OC.
Also, if I were you, I'd just pirate Win7 and use the money saved for some faster RAM or abit more powerful of a GPU.
Then again, you could go APU based with the A10-5800k and use the money saved on that pluss the money saved by pirating Win7 to go allout on an AMD card and crossfire that with the core. But if you do do this, then get that RAM upto 1866Mhz, shouldn't be too much of a cost increase.
For any build over $500 you should not even be considering a apu
You can do some pretty amazing things with some of the new APUs, so to me it's always an option.
Well you could and they are good $ per performance but that being said they are not great performance over all disregarding $
It might sound weird, but I'd rather not pirate it.
Okay Idle, back on topic for you: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/A1fi
Waffle's build is good. but the AMD RAM was unpriced and it was made on PC part picker Canada. All I've done is tweak it a tad and make it US based.
I've took a step back on the mouse and keyboard. in fact- if you already have a loose mouse and keyboard, I'd ditch the ones on the list entirely and use those.
the case is a very simple case, similar in design to Lian-li or bit phoenix. comes with 2 USB 2.0 and a USB3 front port.
Note about the motherboard: its not quite a full ATX board, meaning it has a few less screw holes then a true ATX MoBo... if you can spend a few more $$ try and get the Asus M5A99X EVO R2.0, ( http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a99xevor20 ) which not only gives you a true full ATX, but also the newer 990X chipset.
Well I am in canada so... yeah but that is also a great build for the money!
Thanks I really appreciate it.
