$1050 build

[General_Led]

So i want to build a system around a FX-8350 and a GTX 770. I also need a case with dual 120mm rad support I plan to get the H105 at a later date. And i also currently have a samsung evo 120gb ssd. I also can not upgrade my computer as i am selling in order to get my new pc so please don't suggest i upgrade. I also can not go a penny above $1050, i am using newegg for everything aswell so make sure it doesnt go above 1050 on newegg. I know what you all will say about me only using new egg but i have my reasons. Here is what i have so far...

 

edit:i have a hyper 212 evo that i will use in the mean time and my reasoning behind 750w is to sli at a later date

Why would you need extra thermal compound?  Ithought the cpu comes with it...

 

 

EDIT; the psu is too much for a 770

Get a better motherboard. I'm guessing you want to OC, so get a 990FX 

[SAV1OUR]

you could invest a bit more money ($40) and get a nice cooler for the cpu that will allow you to oc well

Hes going to get a h105 later

You could go with a 6300 and put a little more money into the GPU.

I have a 6300 and feel underwhelmed with it.

I bet if he does that with a better gpu like a 780, it might get bottlenecked

[helping]

you don't need to buy thermal paste for one.

A 2GB 770 isn't that great for SLI, get a smaller PSU or the 4gb version.

you don't need a CD drive, find a USB drive and make a bootable USB with another computer.

Get a Seagate Barracuda over that WD blue

[OmanGS]

Here's a bit of an idea...not too sure if you have brand loyalty or anything.

Edit: You can save some money from the CPU cooler (~$35) and dump that into some other RAM if you'd like a more "mainstream" brand like G.Skill or Corsair. As well, follow what @helping said and make a bootable USB. They're a lot better in the long run. I find it easy to misplace CDs, but easy to keep a hold of thumb drives. You could potentially save ~$50 on the build and do other fun things with it...like a pizza night.

i know but i just hate stock coolers with a passion

6300 won't bottleneck a 780. from what I've seen the 6300/8350 are pretty close in gaming. geting a better gpu over a cpu will give you more fps in this case.

 

The 8350 will only be better in games that can use all 8 cores.

I feel overwhelmed with how well it overclocks. Right now 4.5Ghz with 1.376v

[General_Led]

I mean if someone can put together a build with a 780 under $1050 that would be great.

I have a 212 evo i will be using

[brob]

I've managed to shave a couple of dollars and include a better motherboard.
