1,100 Build Planning

[LesGensMentales]

Current PCPartPicker link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JdPjvK

 

Budget: 1,100 USD(+/- 50)

Merchants: NCIX, Newegg, Amazon, MicroCenter

Region: North East US

Tax: 7% Newegg, 0% NCIX, 7% Amazon, 3.5% MicroCenter

 

 

- Peripherals are handled separately and this list is only for the system itself.

- Any constructive criticism is appreciated, this build will hopefully save a PC gamer from turning into Xbox.. thing.

- This system will be driving a single 1080p monitor

- Will be used for general web browsing and gaming

- Would like to keep this to mATX

- Board must have downloadable fan control software

- Price MUST include tax

- I am donating an H100i and Seagate Barracuda 3TB to this build so if you reconfigure the system be mindful that those can be put in for zero cost.

Two minor suggestions. Less expensive but faster memory and a better (in my opinion) power supply.
