So this is the PC i am going to be getting. I have chosen the parts over the last 3 weeks and i think i have found the right setup. The prices are all what I will be paying and are from a local store, not listed on pcpartpicker. I would have loved to get and 840 EVO - if any were available anywhere (i'm not paying 20$ for the shipping of one either). This will hopefully fulfil my needs of playing games on one monitor at high-ultra settings 60Hz 1080p and tabs of chrome on the other. I am going to be ordering within 48 hours so please hurry and say if there is something i should change, but it needs to be really worth it. If any more info is needed please say so.

Cheers

Lel, this is the 4th time you made a thread about your PC..

It's fine. Get Windows 8 IMO, but you can also get 7 and wait for W10..

Rest seems kinda fine...

yeah, i know. i just want to be certain that im not putting my money to things that aren't worth it, i'm just cautious when spending this much money and I need to be sure, you know?

How different is Win 8 to Win 7 also? thanks :3
