Hi everyone in the world of LTT I was looking at building a budget PC for myself, I've read up on some benchmarks and saw that what I've chosen is pretty good in the price per performance category and I was wondering if I could get any feed back from anyone that has these components:

 

Intel i5 4590 

 

MSI GTX 960 (2gb version)

 

HyperX Fury @ 1866 MHz

 

ASRock Fatal1ty Z97 Killer

 

Here's the link to the build on PCPartPicker: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/bYCqt6

If you're getting the 4590, get an H97 board instead and save some money, since you won't be able to OC that CPU anyways.

Yeah that's true, just trying to keep the Red/Black color scheme

Yeah, because when you order the parts... the MIR are included in your purchase price... /s

 

Seriously, if you depend on MIR to budget a build, you are doing it wrong.

Funny enough I just had my $825 USD build reviewed here. If you buy it on on Cyber Monday you'll probably spend around $740-750 on it.

You'll probably muster up about $10-15 USD by the time you start building. Once that happens buy your OS here:
