I need some help with my budget build which is $550 with windows included and i might be asking for alot but I really want to get this card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150605 it will last my quite a while but i also need a 1tb harddrive, 8gb ram, and a dvd drive. I also plan on doing video rendering so if i could get a CPU that will at least be decent in rendering i'll be happy. I don't really care if it's AMD or Intel, I need to stay under $550 so i will have money left over for the games that are coming up. In conclusion, I really wanna get that graphics card, 8gb ram, 1TB HDD, DVD Drive and WIndows 7. Please stay within $550 but if you really absolutely have to go over it then i can skip a few games and set the budget to $650 but thats only if you really have too. Feel free to ask any questions you might have!

Well this build ends up righ in the middle of $550 and $650, but it's with a GTX 660. Still a great card, and you don't have to worry about prices because of miners. $550 is a lot to ask for with a build to also include Windows lol

Wow nice! The AMD 7870 2GB is $30 off on newegg which makes it to $169. Should i get that one or the gtx 660?
Also how would i purchase the components since they're not all from the same seller? Do i buy them individually one by one from each supplier? or is their an easier way?

Unfortunately there really isn't an easier way, it's just the best way to get the best prices. The 660 and 7870 are pretty similar, with a slight edge to the 7870 probably, but it really depends what game you're playing. $170 for a 7870 right now is a pretty dang good price lol You can click the 'PCPartPicker part list' link and change the selections to just Newegg, or Newegg/Amazon, etc. To get this build solely from Newegg would be about $650, but with your 7870 instead, would take that below $650: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2Wegy/by_merchant/

Okay thanks! I'll prob just end up buying most of the parts off outletpc since they don't charge me california's tax which is almost $100 for all these items. Crap i almost forgot, i also need a PC Case and a keyboard, I don't need anything fancy i literally just need something that will hold all of my parts, any suggestions? for the keyboard i honestly don't care, i need something super cheap that'll get the job done, i'll upgrade it once i can afford it
