Does this build supply enough power for US$1200?

Okay, but instead of higher costs going liquid, should I cut down some other costs and go with a 1070? There are builds for $1200 that have a 1070.

eh... you could... but you would have to cut down on a lot of stuff. I'm putting a list together right now.

You could probably fit that in. Also, if you considered it, getting an i5-6500 if you're not going to overclock anyway wouldn't be a bad idea. In the smaller form factor, overclocking will pretty much be limited anyways unless you fit a H100i in your 250D down the road (which will definitely increase noise), getting a 6500 is better since you won't need a strong cooler anyway.

Some people sent me builds with a 1070, like this one http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Vdhh7h

Okay, I will take this into account. Thanks!

Just barely made it. The NZXT case only has 2 fans, so you may have to buy more... but I DID IT!

See, that's a good build although that's a weird garbage SSD. That one also assumes you're paying $30 for Windows instead of buying a full license (buying a key and ripping the installation files).

i came up with this, keeps the case you wanted and stuff but adds a 1070 and you can throw in an optical drive into that build too

Works, but Mid tower, and ITX, a bit weird... but some kind of fractal design define nano s and that works. Thanks!

OOOPS. *facepalm* Yeah. Switch out the case.

Thanks! I will update my list with something along the lines of this. Thanks again.

No problem  if you do get a 1070, have fun with it, it's a beast card, basically one of the top three cards on the market right now. And I'm sitting here with my 970M laptop GPU  good luck with the building
