If You Had 1,300 Dollars for a PC BUILD? <--You Guys Happy Now?

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

The 212 Evo isn't a water cooler. 

 

It's rather easy to fix a 780 in a build like this. 

 

There are 1TB's that cost the same as 500GB drives. 

 

You don't have to "squeeze" an SSD into a budget like this, you can fit a 250GB in easily. 

 

I really don't agree with the whole "buy a case later" thing. Lol 

Sorry about the mistake, though i was talking about the H220

i said "GTX 780

I know but aren't as reliable, you know less capacity but more expensive, got to stand for something, but still, you're right

I seriously doubt that, like a 840Evo, i doubt that 

well, i do, and it served me really well, in my first build, it allowed me to Grab a 3570K instead of an i3, and just used a Test bench i built

this would be mine since i only play @ 1080 anyway

Hey look, I even threw in a Xeon (i7 4770) in there. If I took it out, put the i5 in there with an Evo, probably would still be under 1300 USD lol. 

 

Also when you made your parts lists, you made it seem like the 780 was hard to fit in them...I was simply telling you it wasn't.
