Preliminary build oppinions

[overlordnick]

ok to start off: the cpu is actually $20 cheaper than listed ($80), the gpu will change if i don't get it on sale (good possibility) to a 7850, and as much as i'd like to save $100 i refuse to pirate windows

also i'm going to microcenter for the cpu, board, and ram it's a long drive so i'd like to get whatever i can from there if it's cheaper

i'm also thinking about the 7870 being pretty overkill, as much as i shouldn't need to upgrade for a pretty long time, i still hear lots of people talk about 7770s and they're half the price of the 7870, idk

if anyone really want's a budget it's not a penny over $700, but not that i want to spend that much, i'd gladly spend 500

For about $8 more you can get 25% more storage space as well as a speed boost to a 7.2K vs 5.4k drive with a Seagate Barracuda.

Aside from that, I don't really see any opportunity for change.
