Alright so is this just for gaming? If so you may want to go with an i5 and get a better GPU

That and get 8GB ram and drop the sound card.

RazerZ :

If he found a good deal on a 16GB kit I'd say keep it, when I build my PC the 16GB kit was only 10 more than the 8GB kit so I went for it.

patrick47018 :

Wow that sounds like a good deal, but looking at ram prices currently 16GB is at least $60 more than 8GB.

As far as RAM goes, here is a well priced 16GB kit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006YG9EEW/?tag=pcpapi-20

And here is a well priced 8GB kit: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00J8E912M/?tag=pcpapi-20

And RazerZ, yes the deal I got is one that is hard to come by, same reason my DVI cable is 40 feet long...It was cheaper than even the smallest size....

OP tell me what you think of this build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3IlBo

ok so 8gb of ram what i5 would you run and would gtx780ti work

noob2012 :

A 780Ti would work well, it is quite the high end GPU, I would get an i5-4670K and for the motherboard I like the price/feature ration of the ASRock Z87 Fatal1ty Killer
