It's 11 over budget, but you get a beast processor, silent cooling, and a silent case.  This would be an awesome build.

.... except for the lack of the OS and the SSD.

OP didn't ask for an OS, and you didn't put one in your build either.  SSD is a nice feature to have, but certainly not at all necessary.

Oh, so he should use Linux for gaming?

 

Also, please look carefully at my build.

Reading comprehension... sigh.

 

You didn't include an OS in your build either.  Usually it would be asked for in the original post if it's needed as part of the budget.  Since he did not ask for one, neither you nor I included one.  Does that make sense?

Oh... I suck. So much. I was pretty sure I didn't do that mistake.....
