Ok so this is a new gaming rig and it needs to be as cheep as possible with the same performance. Also if there is any ideas or comments or anything that can help me .... please tell. http://pcpartpicker.com/user/DaperLoguc/saved/jDsmP6

well start with ditching the AiO water cooler and going with a good air cooler  that'll bring your cost down atleast $50 if not more. only time liquid cooling will be better than Air cooling is if it is a complete custom loop also if the build is just for gaming you can go with 8gb instead of 16gb and that will save you some money too also is there a specific reason you went with the case you did? you could cut costs by gooing with a cheaper case and honestly if you want good Price/performance I would go AMD atleast for the video card I'll put a build together

current build and total cost   http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/150083-thrift-shop-build/

 

I apologize for my crappy English I'm American

this and to add on if you don't mind AMD cards go for the 280X which performs the same as the GTX770

Budget? Uses? Currency? Location? Operating System? Peripherals? Monitor? Use PCPartPicker wherever possible.

Performance would be really close withe the slightly more powerful processor you would hardly notice the difference between the two if there was any at all
