Posted April 9, 2015 Swap that 770 with a 280x. They can be had for very low prices now.

Posted April 9, 2015 Here's an alternative if you don't care much for overclocking/sli. The i5-4460 has been known for excellent gaming value/performance.

Posted April 9, 2015 Right, I'm no expert, but I can find cheaper parts. You didn't say what you wanted to do with it, like OC or what. This here: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/YYRjCJis good for overclocking, and I swapped out the 770 for a more efficient 970 along side some other changes like the ssd to a cheaper sandisk and the HDD to a cheaper Seagate, all reputable brands. Because the estimated wattage was less than 400 I went for the corsair CX500M, the little brother of the one you chose. Because your motherboard didn't support SLI I assumed you wouldn't want one that could, and you would be paying a premium for one if so. If you don't want to overclock then you could get a i5 4460 or 4690 which are cheaper but not overclockable as well as a motherboard with a H87/H97 chip on it, which again, don't support over clocking, as well as completely removing the CPU cooler because if you aren't overclocking then you won't need it. Note: if someone contradicts me, they are probably right, I haven't been here that long. Another note: This works out around £740, just remove the "UK." From the URL to get it in dollars.

The motherboard is whatever, I made sure it was crossfire compatible, except you'll have to buy a new PSU in the future for that. If you don't, it's not the end of the world at least. Honestly for the SSD, if it's not in the 250GB range, it isn't that great, especially for gaming. For $250, you shouldn't get a GTX 770, you should get the R9 290. I mean the 770 is still a relevant card, it matches the 280X, but it isn't worth it at that price point. I like the S340 better, up to you though. Power Supply is SeaSonic. SeaSonic is good (forever better than Corsair CX PSUs). if you have to insist you think for yourself, i'm not going to believe you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
