The build used to be in my parents budget. Then the price of the 290 got jacked up out of no where and it isn't. Budget is 450. Used to be 242 now is 266 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/CT3vXL Help me make it cheaper WITHOUT MAIL IN REBATES!

380 performs slightly worse than the 290 but it is way cheaper. I also added a hard drive since you were missing one.

I would change the hard drive to a Sandisk, OCZ or Adata SSD.

The 780/970. Both leagues more expensive. And if you're worried about your card roasting itself just set a custom fan curve...

SuperBizz had lots of the parts I needed. My budget is 450 without MIR including shipping, it can be a little flexible. Can you guys help me. Please. Make sure the places have the things IN STOCK, super bizz, screw you.

EDIT: I will be using my HDD from my old build. I will be gaming.

Post the parts here, maybe we can refine it for you.

I kinda want to start it from scratch, considering how much trouble I've had, and want the value for the buck not contained by the previous build I had made.

Why the i3, isn't the quad core better and cheaper?

Going Intel allows for an better upgrade path, not only that but the i3 and it's two cores and four threads perform better than any AMD quad core CPU- Intel has much better performance per core.
