in the future, only make a single thread for the same needs, making multiple topics can only confuse and limit future thread participation.

Option #1 was given $20 extra to spend more than option #2

(the cpus are priced differently even though it's the same cpu) 

Not exactly a fair comparison

I thought this made more sense imo. If anyone wants to improve on it they may

 

Didn't change case, seeing as how OP might've chose that out of personal look (not sure)

thanks so much! I'm more attached to the gpu that I have in the build because it is currently running for cheaper and has a higher clock speed. However, I did use the ram sticks and psu that you put in as they are an amazing deal! Check out the current listing for option 1 here.

Whatever works ^^. I just chose that GPU cause I liked the look a bit more, the difference in clock is very small so it can go either way 

Idk if you noticed but I aslo changed the HDD, the price/gb was much better. extra 1 tb for $10 more is something I couldn't pass up  

Build looks good in my eyes

I would be more than happy to go with the extra 1tb for only $10 but every last penny counts at this point  Thanks tho!

[ChiefRobb]

so I have decided to go with option 1
