Budget: $800 (before OS)
Wants: Basically looking to get the best bang for the buck for a friend whose parents wants me to build their son a gaming machine. I'd like to get an SSD if possible .
Currently have: I have 750W Corsair modular power supply, 1TB 7200 RPM WD Drive, Optical drive
Below i what I've picked out so far, I don't need to have that exact case - I just want something that stands out and makes him go "OMG!" when he sees it.
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147053
Processor: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116782
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130643
** I chose the motherboard because it currently comes with a 1x 8GB stick of RAm for free
RAM: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148661
Graphics:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125414
Subtotal: $794.96
What would you guys change up (if anything) to fit a OS SSD in there, so the computer boots up fast? Typical games he plays is Starcraft 2, League of Legends, MMO's like Guild Wars 2 and probably some newer games as well.
Pretty much looking for sheer performance for that price range.
