New Build Review Request

[amd133mhz]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/LTT3BP

 

What do you think? I am about ready to pull the trigger on this. Need some final thoughts before I do it.

 

HERE is a little background info from a previous post. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

 

Everything is from Microcenter, and there is a potential of $30 in rebates I left out

 

Thanks again!

Where is your gpu? Other than that it's not too bad.

Ok I am suspecting you don't need the other components, so  lets dive right in:

 

1. Don't get a 175$ case for no reason.If you want to givee some money on the case take either the NZXT S340 Elite or the Phanteks Eclipse P400S TG, very beautiful and practical cases, and under 100$.
2. Get a duo of Ram it will prove very useful whatever the workload is, and prices doesn't look to go down anytime soon so it's minimal.
3. If youi do want a GPU anything between the 1060 to 1070 would do the trick, but I would wait a few weeks for 1070 prices to settle in after 1080Ti release.

I don't like the price of the case either BUT I have a corsair case now, I trust them and more specifically I've researched this case and found it to have everything I would want. TBH I love my current case ( 200r) but I want something bigger and I really like the doors.

 

I am not sure I understand about the RAM? I have it set with 8x2 16gb ddr-4 2400 . The only reason I didn't go with EVGA same clock at 100 was it wasn't on the mobo support list and I didn't want to chance it plus I trust kingston.

 

I have a gtx 980 g1 gaming now I would be adding to this build

Why not wait a little, your PC looks good, I have a similar config at home and for Games and light productivity it's awesome, just wait a monmth or two and then make a move, you might get more for less..

What would you recommend? I had been looking at the 460X at around $150 but a lot of the reviews seem hit and miss on different issues (springs pushing ssds out, nothing but screws holding in glass) 

 

I have a 200r I am not reusing but I want to get a nice full atx case this go around. Something easier to work in but still looks nicer than a plain black box. Does not have to flashy alienware looking nonsense just nice.

Yea that is true. I got bit by the upgrade bug and with the little price drop on the i7 I started to toy with idea
