Hey everyone, I'm looking for a build to get me 60+ fps high-ultra in games. I've worked very hard on this list refining it with my rather small knowledge of computer parts and a lot of research. My budget is 650-660 USD, I need to keep the wifi. But anything else I'm willing to change, just wanting the best bang for my buck build I can get. (Poor college student, etc etc.)
 Thank you in advance for all the help guys!

Seems like it'll work just fine. However, if you can spare another 20 bucks, you could get a 1x8GB stick, leaving another slot for expansion if you need it.

 

Other than that, great job.

Want to know which mobo to get?

Spoiler

Choose whatever you need. Any more, you're wasting your money. Any less, and you don't get the features you need.

 

Only you know what you need to do with your computer, so nobody's really qualified to answer this question except for you.
