Yeah, quite a few things should, and need to be changed. What's your budget?

Francknstine · Apr 23, 2014

I'm thinking around $1500. no more than $2000

you have a b75 board but an unlocked intel k processor. also you dont need 16gb of ram. for $1500 you can easily put a gtx780 in this system no problem. lets change this up a little.

Wow, you both have basically the same setup besides video card and RAM. Thanks to you both. now I gotta choose :/

nikoli707 · Apr 23, 2014

his has an r9-290x which is going to be a little bit faster than the 780 i have in my build. you would have to step up to a 780ti to compare to the 290x. he also has a slightly faster but twice as large ssd as well. but hes missing an optical drive. i put the bluray burner in mine since i noticed you had one in your first list.

nikoli707 :

Oh yeah, I forgot about the OD. PCPartpicker had trouble fetching the list of drives, and I meant to include that in my post. Woops.
