Then for monitor Id buy this.
http://www.amazon.com/QNIX-QX2710-Evolution-LED-2560x1440/dp/B00CAKD6LI

But ur budget is too tight for that monitor so look Asus or Dell..

+ Windows 8 ? 95$

Then it looks like this. about 100 over budget.

So what do you want? Do you want us to say that yr build is crap? It is.
Do you want better quality parts for lower price? Just say.
Memory is expensive. You can find cheaper better memory than corsair.
And more reliable ones.

SSD is crap- or it can be.. They make kingston SSD's in two place.
Other one makes good ones and other makes crap. So if you do not know where is this SSD made. Do not buy it.

PSU is maybe good. But do you really need Platinum efficiency?
Id look good reliable one cheper price.

Mobo is not good. I think EVO is better.

CPU cooler is not good compared price vs performance.

Case is not good.

You do not have GPU in that build.
And mouse and keyboard was not in open post.
And better ones are out there.

Points than you did make build that works together :=)
Good luck with building it :)

I posted this to get more build options.Just because i didn't agree with your build doesn't mean you have to be rude.

Some of these parts are place holders,they where cheaper at the time and a good deal,and they are good parts,read a few of the reviews. All you keep saying is "not good",with no source or reason why,not helping at all.Don't need a gaming mouse or keyboard they do nothing for me and are completely optional.

Including 144hz monitor to compliment having such a high end GPU. I do suggest waiting on the 290 until the custom cards are released.

Assuming you already have case and ram due to them being listed as purchased in your linked build.

Or if you would rather go Intel

I used the most expensive 290 to cover potential price increase with custom coolers, if you plan to get a referrance card you can reduce the price by 15-20 and get a cheaper one. Or stick with the XFX one which comes with life time warranty.

If your not interested in anything over 60hz you can go with this and put the $100 into something else like a SSD or CPU.

My main concern is bringing price down a bit if i can,without sacrificing quality,don't want to upgrade later just to save now.Waiting on black friday deals.

Oh man,decisions,yea i said i was going to wait on the non reference models . Hopefully they actually improve it. Think the 8320 is what i need to meet budget.Not sure how much i would loose in performance if any from 8350 gaming wise.Why did you choose that mobo over the Asus M5A99fx?

Thanks

Gigabyte and Asus both make great motherboards, gigabyte is more budget friendly though. Aside from price no reason. Also the 8320 can be over clocked to match the 8350 fairly easily. The 8350 can overclok higher though.
