GTX-770 would be better than 16GB memory, 8GB is more than enough for games and CPU cooler will give silent PC

Personally I would pay the extra $5 for the 8120 just to have the two extra cores, also thats a less reputable hard drive brand, I would go with a seagate barracuda or a western digital caviar blue hard drive, cases are entirely preference although that brand is not known for the best quality and then the ram is fine but if ya want you can spend an extra $50 to get a 2x8 gb set instead of a 2x4 gb, but that is just to have some breathing room.

Thats forkin over an extra $100 or so into a cpu mobo combo that really isnt giving him much performance, the amd line is a little cheaper and works just as well and even works better for the possible video editing he said he might do over an i5. Though the SSD was a nice recommendation

okay, not much to update, but i am defiantly open to change on the intel core series, but like Whitehead said, an extra hundred doesn't sound to good at this point in time. with the case (i'm going for a green-neon green look) i heard the same thing from other people, but i just though how can you mess up a case? i don't know to much about SSD's care to explain their purpose and advantages over a HDD, other than faster speeds?

Windows will load 2x times faster and other programs 10x faster than HDD and games like BF4 will load 5x 10x times faster!

What would you guys suggest i cut back on to make room for the SSD, and Intel CPU? Go back to 8GBs of RAM, the 760 instead of the 770, cheaper MOBO? (just a few suggestions) Thanks to you all for the help by the way!

You're welcome :) i5 with some "H" or "B" chipset with GTX-760 would be also good and better!

It looks great, but with <900$ i have some money to spare and i would be split between 16GBs of ram or the 770 (the increase in FPS in games seems somewhere in between marginal and significant) , and do you really think i need a cooler other than stock? If so i will do more research on the topic, but it will defiantly sway my opinion.

And possible editing he said, and they dont destroy, amd cpus handle very similar to intel in gaming and there really isnt that big of a difference gaming wise. As far as pure processing power yes intel crushes amd but for gaming applications they perform very similarly, especially to an i5, and have better performance video editing wise

Main difference between models is cooling system, gigabytes are known for being longer bevause of their triple fans, but overall its really just preference as most of them will perform within a marginal degree or so of each other
