If you want new stuff, a new 750 ti goes for about 100$ now, and that card will kill games like MC. But if you want to go for something a little less, some of those older generation AMD cards are always cheap on EBay. Good luck! I recommend putting what price you are looking for

For the price, I don't think this is at all good for the money. Take a look at this for a similar price: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/9rRhcf It may be a bit more expensive, but it is much better both in performance and price to performance then your current build.

@vSyNd1c4t3 thank you for all your great help. I have made up my mind on the r9 380 and I'm going to drop the 120gb SSD to stay in budget. The SSD prices are coming way down anyways

@Nikht_Revan_S539 @vSyNd1c4t3. I live in a place where it is hot almost all year round, but I run my AC almost all the time so I'm guessing heat wouldn't make a difference. Looking at what you guys have said, I think Im going to ditch the 280x for a 380 4gb or a 960. Would you say that the 380 is worth the extra 40-50$ for more VRAM and a higher bus? I'm not entirely sure about clock speeds. Also, I do live with other people so I deffinetly don't need a super loud card, but I'm not too worried

So hold on. What you are reccomending is that I drop the 280x for a 960 or a 380?

Whoa guys. I came to get help for my build not have an Nvidea vs AMD flame war Thanks for the suggestion @vSyNd1c4t3 the build looks nice, but does that 2gb 960 have enough video memory for GTA V high - Ultra?

@ZetZet thanks for the response , but do you think there are cheaper options out there that will meet my needs?

@Norman_the_Owl didn't say that. I mean to say if you don't care about the looks of the Blade. Lol I personally like the X5 more then the blade

Holy moly that was a nice response @asusfan I will look into a z87 board possibly. Also I have run out of places to cut down. The cas is only 60$ and it is my favorite looking so I honestly don't want to change it. 8gb of ram is needed. And the PSU is the lowest I can go. I just want to run games at 1080p 50-60 fps on high-ultra settings. Also may be doing some mild video editing and rendering.

Thanks for the response @Captai_WD. And maybe I am @KING OF SCOTLAND

Hey LTT Forums, I know we have heard this one a million times before... The "Is my rid good??" comments on all of Linus's vids. I have done extreme research on my pc and its component and I plan on purchasing my parts soon, so I'm certainly not blind here. But I would like to see what you guys think about this build for about ~720$ USD. I wouldn't mind going up to 750$ as that was my original budget, so tell me in the comments anything you would change as long as it stays under 750$. I plan on doing lots of gaming at 1080p high-ultra settings at 50-60 fps. If you could find a nicer GPU to fit in and keep the build at under 750$ that would be great.

@Sam Z Man lol fixed now

Hey LTT forums, So I am going to be building my first ever rig soon, and I was thinking about what monitor I should grab! I would love if you guys gave me some recommendations. I would like it to be 200$ or under. The following are some needs and wants for the display... Thanks again! Needs: 1080p resolution 5ms or under response time From a trusted manufacturer Black Color Sceme HDMI Compatibility IPS Panel for good viewing angles At least 24'' Wants: Good On-Screen Controls DisplayPort Compatibility

If you want a slim and appealing-looking notebook, go with Razer. The gaming performance will be decent, but if you don't care about looks stick with Aorus for more horsepower under the hood. Hope I could help!

@STRMfrmXMN could that be any more accurate...
