Last Minute Part Check

[ClubGaming_]

Ive been planning this build for a while and gotten help from a number of different forums. I want some last minute help before I pull the trigger.

Thanks!

That GPU is very overpriced, spend a few more dollars and get a R9 290 if you can, if not, get a 280x; both of which destroy the 760 and have more vram.

Everything seems good minus the GPU, you can get an R9-290 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814202080&cm_re=R9-290-_-14-202-080-_-Product for the same price.

 

The R9-290 will bend a GTX 760 over backwards in anything.

This build will be significantly better.

Why not i5-4440. Save $15. Only 100mhz slower. You won't notice the difference.

 

Overpriced RAM. Go with Team Zeus Yellow 2x4gb. Save $21. RAM is RAM. They all work. It's the same 1600 mhz anyways.

 

Use the saved cost and up your GPU to a 290. $45 more but it'll handily beat the 760.

 

Here's the build with modifications above:

Like you said, ram is ram. Id be willing to spend the extra money for it to fit more into the color scheme.

Nope. I'd say you're good to go.
