It's unbalanced. I bet you could fit 780 if you spent the budget more carefully.

I'm wondering if this triple post is a Mobile bug, or something because I think it was yesterday or two days ago someone also posted the same thread 3 times.

I think it is just someone who craves answers and attention.

That build isn't bad, but it's not very good either. It's a decent start.

 

The 660 is a bit dated.. An R9-270X is a slightly better alternative for a similar price.. That being said, saving money elsewhere could allow you to get an R9-290, 770, or maybe a 780.

CPU cooler? You'll want an aftermarket cooler if you're planning on OC'ing that 4670K.

You're spending quite a bit of money on that case.. If that's the one that you really really like, you can buy it, but there are more affordable options on the market. Saving a bit of money on the case can allow for a better GPU.

How much RAM is that? 8 GB is all you need. 1600 Mhz is also good enough.

A 750W PSU is a bit overkill for a single-GPU rig. Buying overkill isn't a problem, but unless you plan on upgrading to dual 780s (or something similarly power-hungry), you can save some money by getting something smaller.

Touchscreen monitor for a desktop? AND an additional touchpad?

TRIPLE POST

 

These are some very helpful posts.. I'm sure the OP totally meant to triple post on purpose, just for the sole purpose of ruining your day...

/s

 

Crap happens. Report it to a mod and they'll clean up the additional threads. In the meantime, the OP asked a question, and it would be nice to help him, right?

i7 not perfectly stable at 4.4.. #firstworldproblems

They were all posted 1 min apart tho. ONe was 23 min ago, one was 22 min ago, one was 21 min ago... So not an accident
