Hi! I just recently put together another parts list based sort of on jayztwocents's Kaveri build. here is a link to the parts list (http://pcpartpicker.com/user/TheOneCalledMike/saved/4xxWGX) My budget is a sub- $1000 gaming PC. I was wondering if this build is a good build for that budget range. Thanks for helping me out!
