Posted February 10, 2016 Get an SSD. That should probably put you around or maybe a bit over budget but it is worth every penny.

Posted February 10, 2016 I would highly recommend getting a cheaper mobo, a processor with some DDR3 ram and a better graphics card. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 10, 2016 Author @SirPatrickStewart That is a very good list, the only thing I could think of replacing was the flashy RAM, I have also heard that 4GB is a bit much for the average games, unless I was running 3 monitors, but at the moment I have two, and two monitors is horrible for any game. +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted February 10, 2016 Author Thank you both @ArmswieldTheHero and @DND, the general build is really coming together, and the Price-Performance is much better than my original setup, I suppose more of you people helping me is for the better. I'm mostly surprised by the PSU that DND linked to, http://goo.gl/oW2bTe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
