lol sorry for misleading title, didnt think of that...

 

But i made it for people to have a quick idea for 1300 dollars

change i7 to i5 and get the 290x and a better cpu cooler

I realized that but the 290x isnt really worth it for 1080p gaming for its 600+ dollar range... Which is why i got the 290.

 

If they wanted to switch the i7 with i5, but wanted to keep the 290, they could get a better cooler with the 100 dollars saved. Again im just give the best bang for the buck. Thanks for the tip!

 

It is really up to the person buying it, they are welcome to replace anything they want....

Bad PSU

What's so bad about it?

CX series are low end and not very high quality. They are good for a budget build, but if you are spending more than 1000$ you can get a better one

I was expecting this answer. It's still a decent PSU compared to the other IEDs out there,
