CPU: Got the 4570 for 150 bucks which was cheap for a nice i5


 


Stock cooler: :/ Plan to get an Evo when temps get hotter in the Summer


 


Mobo: Got the mobo from Amazon and H87 is all I need, no Ocing for me and I plan to make this into a Hackintosh laters.


 


RAM: Ram is RAM but this is a hawt shiny black :)


 


SSD: The evo was on sale, I trust Samsung to last and I plan to get a WD Blue or Green later for my photos. 


 


GPU: A 750ti is all I need for now, and I am supposed to get a 760 soon. I'll make a new build for the 750ti then. 


 


Case: Prodigy is big, was cheap from Micro Center and easy to build in.


 


PSU: Spent a little more than I should for the PSU but I think Seasonic will be worth it.


 


Problems: The PSU cables just fit inside the Prodigy's PSU tray. :\ needed some squish


ing.


 


Overall: I am playing Wot with it on Medium settings on 1080x1920 at 60fps+ so thats all I need :D

If you already have the. 750ti why not wait until 860 or something? The 760 is better albeit, but not really worth it as an upgrade IMO

Idk it depends how long I have to wait, but thats the main goal really a 760 or 860.

I would wait till the release of nvidia's new gpu's and if they are too expensive you wil get a discount on the GTX 7XX series anyway. 

 

I'm holding out for new gpu's.

Will do, an 860 will most likely be like a 770's performance right?

The 270x is better value over a GTX 760 anyway, but like i said I would wait.
