Just to be clear, You already have a case and the 980 ti plus a monitor. So, we don't need to include that into our pricing? Do we need to include a keyboard and mouse into the price?

 

Also, what is the case. We need to know what kind of mother board we can choose.

[Mohenjo]

Wow im impressed that 4460k wont bottleneck a 980ti

what? Ok couple things, no such thing as an i5 4460k, and even an i5 4440 wont bottleneck a 980 ti 

[KemoKa]

Wow im impressed that 4460k wont bottleneck a 980ti

It will, but not by a significant amount for most games, and not even at all in some.

All CPUs bottleneck high-end GPUs to some degree. Just one of those things.

Wow im impressed that 4460k wont bottleneck a 980ti

hate to be the guy but there is no 4460k

[Sunnysenpai]

The case is a nzxt phantom 530 I believe and any motherboard is fine it should work with the cpu.

What color is your case? if it is either black or white then go with Oshino Shinobu second build. If you like black and white ofcourse. The krait mobos are awesome!!

[Sharp_3yE]

Comments:

• The PSU is only 40 bucks with a mail and rebate from Newegg. IDK where you live though so hopefully USA. I suggest you take advantage of it NOW. It's 80+ Gold Certified, 700 watts, Semi modular and white
• I didn't include any sound card, amp/dac, wireless adaptor, or  keyboard and mouse.
• If you need to cut some cost out of the build you can do 8gb of Ram instead of 16gb. You can take out the SSD if you don't think you need the speed and buy one later.

Tell us what color your case is just in case a white build wont work well. If your case is read I'd recommend different parts.

Uhhhh...... I'm sorry but there's so many issues with this.

[iamdrinster]

Man, that mistyped K haha made people go amok

 

In terms of case i prefer the S340, it looks neet and make you see your rig more
