Where are you buying from? All of this is overpriced.

Please post your budget and I am sure someone would gladly help you out.( I would but I should be studying so yeah...)

Wow this stuff is expensive

You should get a seperate cpu and motherboard and not in a kit cause that's usually cheaper

I would change the cpu cooler to a scythe mugen 3 or 4 or a Hyper evo or if you want watercooling get something like a corsair H80i.

In my opinion a bluray drive is useless but just my 2 cents.

For the ssd i would get a Samsung evo/pro

I would change the ram to something from corsair/kingston/adata.

I would change the graphicscard for a 780 or 780ti but again we don't know where you are buying from and what country

And you don't need all these fans. the case has enough fans.

PS, We Don't know your location so maybe these items are expensive in your country.

Im from singapore so it may seem expensive if you're from america US$ 1.00 = SDG $ 1.64 so you kinda have to do alot of math lol

i choose the coolermaster V8 GTS cos of the LED in it to match the theme i was making in my rig but i can always go cheaper hahaha

don't get an optical drive, it'll be a waste of money and it'll be ugly. Unless you really need one, then atleast get a cheaper one. 150 bucks looks like an absolute ripoff.

I would agree, I get mine for less than $25 with free p&p
