Upgrading the GPU is easier than upgrading the CPU

I would go for something with a better gpu instead of a cpu (which is a good one nevertheless),

AGAIN ... Stupid build ....
Same cheap , bad motherboard ...
Going for a 500gb hdd is useless it only saves you 5 bucks ...
Again stupid , bad case ...
And not enough wattage ...
Author , please go with Vic 40's build it is way better than any build here ...

He agrees with you.:D

Although i have to say he added a ssd with that 500gb hdd which is a nice touch.The money is better spend elsewhere=psu/case/motherboard when overclocking,but it's a nice thought.




Thanks,yes i think so too,the gpu really is,imo,a good deal and sets it apart.The i5 4570 gives it more than enough cpu power.
