I've been trying to save up for a new build lately, and i've finally saved up about $900 and I already have an Asus GTX 670 so i dont think i need a new graphics card. And this is what i have my eyes on

 

Intel Core i5 4440

ASRock Fatal1ty Z87 Professional Motherboard

Corsair Vengeance Pro 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3

Corsair CX-600 Modular 80+ Bronze Power Supply

BitFenix Shinobi Black Case With Window

Seagate Barracuda 1TB

CoolerMaster Hyper T4 CPU Cooler

 

Am i missing anything or could i change anything?

Drop the Fatal1ty board go with another z87 board and get a 4670k.

If you don't want to overclock, stick with the 4440 or a 4670 [non-k] and get some cheap mobo ^^

As stated above, drop that mobo, go for a cheapish Z87 Gigabyte motherboard or ASUS or MSI.

The with what you saved grab a 4670 (k or non k).

Basically get the best ASUS, GIGABYTE, or MSI motherboard that will allow you to get that 4670(k).

The first step to insanity is believing in your sanity.

you might aswell step up the CPU cooler or buy a second Asus GTX 670 for SLI

 

Edit: The parts that i picked are the bare bone $800+ baming build parts, that I'd recommend. The fact that you already have a GPU means that you could upgrade to a larger SSD or a better looking /quieter CPU cooler or maybe a better motherboard (MSI GD65-Gaming)

 

A second gtx 670 might not fit in your budget with this build but with a cheaper AMD build. Depends on what you want, I'll compose an AMD build real quick...

 

Edit 2: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1LRA4 there you have a AMD build with a second GTX 670. might aswell be an option for you.

 

Edit 3: Darn it! I forgot that You have to add a few extra bucks for a ~600-700W PSU.

who cares...

As said above, get a cheaper motherboard. The Fatal1ty overkill for your build.

Also, look into getting a better PSU. 600W should be enough, but you can never skimp on the quality of your PSU.

 

Overall, it's a nice build.

New to Star Citizen? Look no further!
