Rate my Build! Exactly $700

CyanOG

I am in the middle of purchasing everything and very excited its my first time building. Anyways here it is https://pcpartpicker.com/user/CyanOG/saved/RLJgXL

I ordered the GPU and PSU ATM rest Im ordering In a day. You guys can add your tips but I can't change the CPU and Mobo I'm buying both in a sweet bundle deal at micro center. I'm still open to different case options around $49-60 but I'm sure my case is good and also has good cable managment.

8/10 It will perform well but could look better.

That looks pretty good to me. Microcenter has the 200r for 57 and then you get a 10 dollar rebate on it. It's a real nice case for the money.

 

Also, if you live by a microcenter, you can get that CPU for 119 and the motherboard for at least 40 less than you're paying now.

The 300r is like $59 wouldn't I just get that instead over the 200 also my friend has the 300r and I kinda don't want us to have the same case. And yeah that's the bundle I'm getting with the CPU <3

I'd go for the Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P to go for a more blended in look, and I'd get the EVGA 600B instead of the CX600

You can get a 280x for like $218 from NCIX on their Outlet. I'd go for that instead.

For example, the 290/x cooler in inefficient as hell, and the 280x doesnt cool the VRMs, which causes artifacting. But maybe not all have this problem. And youre absolutely right about hearing bad things about every graphics card.

Yeah every card gets a bad talk but I people who bought this card from newegg all seem to be very happy anyways if something goes bad there is always the 3 year manufacture warranty

Despite pcpartpicker allowing it, the Hyper 212 EVO will not fit in the Spec 02 case. Corsair lists the max cpu cooler height at 157 mm. Cooler Master lists the height of the Hyper 212 EVO as 158.5 mm.

 

The Corsair 200R is around the same price or consider one of the more expensive Corsair Graphite 230T models.

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
