Designing a gaming PC, 1st build, no overclocking, budget $700-800, $700 better, MIRs OK, no crossfire/sli yet, but maybe a future upgrade, thinking something like this:

What do you guys think?

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Eh. Don't want an i3.

Just a guy who peaked at building back in the days of the GTX 980. If you see me here, assume i have technical knowledge akin to a committed hobbyist builder back then. If something's changed, you'll need to tell me(nicely plz). I'm probably asking for help with the modern build scene since I have no clue what's going on.

Also, the only thing aside from the processor is the graphics card. Why is the graphics card better?

700 better just means that I want it closer to 700 than 800... Going up to 800 fine if there's a really good reason, and 750 is not a problem... I can afford the i5 and 290. :)
