Kept it under $1,100, but it's worth it in my opinion. Gets you an SSD for the OS and programs, and the 770, which will max everything and is about perfect for 1080p. Also has plenty of room to upgrade down the road if you want too lol

Hello man

Honorable


Don't be afraid to go used or refurbished, only with hard drives should thou fret. I kept my build under $550-600 and I am completely fine with it. It runs tribes ascend great.
