Yeah, it's fine. A 270X is a good card

This seems to be a fairly solid build for the price. There are better priced gpus out there than that Sapphire one, but for the most part this is perfectly fine imo.

Looks fine, but there are cheaper ways to install windows such as purchasing a product key from G2A or Ebay.

Also why do you need thermal compound if you're not getting an aftermarket cooler?

One last thing. What should I replace if I would want an AData 128 gb ssd?

Well, I'm of the believe where I'd rather have gaming performance rather than faster load times (when on a very tight budget). So, I would probably pick up a copy of windows 8.1 from G2a.com for $27 and get one with that money. 

 

I'd also get an Crucial MX100 as its a bit cheaper. 

 

About G2a.com, they sell MSDN keys, the legality of the keys is questioned, but the majority of people don't have any issues with the site (I can only remember a handful of complains about G2a.com being posted in the past few months, and I don't believe any were about windows keys).

You know what guys? Just make a list of the best 700 dollar gaming PC with the Logitech g105, a disk drive, and network card and maybe try to fit in an ssd.

You'll either have to drop down to an i3, switch to an FX 6300, drop down to an R7 260x, or get a Windows key from g2a.com (or be willing to lose the black/blue color scheme). Those are pretty much your only options. 

 

Now, considering that an ssd will NOT increase FPS/gaming performance, sacrificing any core components (cpu/gpu) for one is silly -- especially when you're already on the edge. A 270x is significantly better than a 260x, and an i5 is significantly better than both an i3 or an FX6300. So, if you really want an ssd the ONLY logical choice would be to get a copy of Windows 8.1 from G2a.com (or lose the black/blue color scheme).

With no color scheme in mind, and if you get a windows key from G2a.com, then this will work nicely: 
Do you actually need a cd drive....they're just so ugly and unnecessary :unsure:

But on g2a.com windows 8.1 is 50$

Oh wow.....it was $27 for months. Well then.... 

You can get an R9 270 instead of a 270x (just an overclocked 270) and overclock the 270 yourself (saving $40~).
