What do you mean "intended goal", as in genres? Peripherals yes and the peripherals I'm not counting toward the budget. Only the inside.

*Edit: there's actually a 4GB RX 480 on Newegg right now for $149 after MIR. That's a better choice than the 470 if you can spring a little extra cash up front.

I enjoy buying junk and sinking more money than it's worth into it to make it less junk.
