The final choices

[ismokebudz]

As some may have seen I've been on here for about a month now researching and learning everything I know about a computer now from this site, I appricate all of your inputs and all of the debates cause that is really what makes you decide in the end. So my plan with this rig is mainly to play HotS on a 1080 monitor @hopefully maxed settings. I also will be using it for automotive diagnostic softwear and of course the usual web surfing. This build gives me what I need know for the money and has room to improve. NOTE THIS IS MY FIRST BUILD

Here it is

My last question is if I buy a copy of windows do I have the option to upgrade to 10 if I don't want say 7?

On and I need cheap wireless keyboard mouse setup backlit preferably

I want the front 3.0 header and the 380 isn't really a necessity when the 280 will be sufficent.

And that case is ugly I'm the one I oicked out is good for cable management and I can mod it easily

Yes you will have the option to upgrade to windows 10 later on. But better get a windows 10 for ~5 bucks more to avoid upgrading-reinstall etc.

The total install progress will be simplier than install windows 8- reserve key- upgrade

The 380 will last longer due to newer architectures etc.
