[Mandrew]

Need help getting this build under $1000

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PmrY7P

I don't want to change the case, monitor,or mouse but if there is a better alternative for the keyboard that would be nice

Would like to be able to fit a 280x in there as well(if possible)

Around 30% or even more.

That seems a bit overkill since a normal 280 can run BF4 at ultra at like 50 fps, and since its only a 60hrz monitor anything over 60fps is a waste really

 

EDIT:nevermind didn't see the chart

If you are fine with gaming at 50fps then go ahead get the 280x. $50 for a 970 instead of a 280x is still a deal that i will take without hesitation

Don't forgot that amd cards get free games from amd's reward program.
