Just curious, is this a good and balanced build for around $1000? http://i.imgur.com/oYZjEaA.png

(Don't post any Pcpartpicker links btw, won't do me any good, doesn't have correct pricing since I live in Sweden.)

 

I would say so :)

 

looks good @_@

 

Funny Case in my thoughts xD

PROFILEYEAH

What do people even put in these things?

switch the board for an m5a78l-m/usb3, EXACTLY the same features and price but its not duck egg blue and the websites driver downloads is awesome, cant say either way about gigabytes/msi's

rest is good but what about chanign the 270x for a 270 non x? its the same gpu core and both overclock about the same (270x is maybe 50-100mhz more but nothing amazing) and putting the extra money into a 2tb drive?

I thought that this would fit you very good too. Also UK prices are similiar to the prices we get here in the north :)

agree, 270 would be The better choice. Dont get a two tb drive if You donz Need it, save The Money ot spend it on a better Case. :-) also i'd go for The cx600m ;-)

Is that all that $1000 can buy you in sweden? The build looks great but i didn't know hardware was that expernsive in swe.

Lets take seagate barracuda 1TB for example. That is 90$ in Sweden.

Could get either another case or PSU, would kind of break my budget getting both.
