No point having the unlocked processor with an H-170 Motherboard

Some guy called my office, trying to sell me computers. I just said "oh you mean those little box's with the tv on top? Yeah, our accountant has some". He promptly gave up and hung up the phone lol

Getting a locked CPU and a better gpu will give you a better preformance increase

But why with a 750Ti? Considering that the balance between the CPU and GPU will be awful and that you can get a much better GPU for that price range...

'Fanboyism is stupid' - someone on this forum.

Be nice to each other boys and girls. And don't cheap out on a power supply.

Going for a red themed build will eat out a large chunk of the budget. I recommend going for this instead - complete with a SSD:
