$1500 small gaming monster

[sebolavarria]

What do you guys think of a 1500 dollar gaming pc? I would prefer a small matx or an mitx I live up north but do keep the heat on in the house...

If what you're asking is can I build a form fitted beast of a machine for 1500$ then the answer is clearly YES

[Osmium]

Yeah. You can basically buy whatever you want since you are only going single GPU.

IF you don't need that much GPU horsepower and want a more all around epic build, for a $100 less you can get an i7 and a 780

The EVGA Hadron Air is not on PCPart picker  so Ill just link it there.

 

My build comes with OS costs included as well. If you already have an OS just put in a 4770k.
