Hello guys,
I really want to build a new Gaming PC since currently my 5 year old laptop is better than my PC (Not really but its close). Anyways I would love to build a new one so I can play those sexy games on Ultra again :D. There are some things that are a must/must not have.
-I fell in love with this case when I built my first PC and now it fits in my budget: The NZXT Crafted Series Phantom 410 with black and orange stripes. That thing looks like a beast! So please insert it in the list.
-I don't need an optical drive I have an external one.
-SSD? Yes please. 256 GB would be amazing but I dont think it will fit in my budget so 120 GB will do just fine.
-I do want the inside of the case to look a little decent not that I have like blue ram with rainbow motherboards. If possible if all the pieces could be black and orange I would love you forever.

I think thats it if you could assemble by dream PC roundabout 1350 (MAX 1450) I would once again love you forever. Thank you for reading and good luck building.

The power supply is pretty ordinary. And you need 600W anyway to run a 780Ti. Try a Seasonic 620 instead.
Just get a GTX780. The Ti is a bit top heavy for the i5 4440.

Is the ram 2 x 4gb 1600 or what?

Spend less on the case and more on the power supply.

How many gb is the SSD? You should get a 1tb hard drive as well.

Okay so I took the BeQuiet since I hate loud PC's I can wait an extra month or borrow from my parents and take a 650W PSU is that any good? And I upgraded my Proccesor and removed the SSD (I can upgrade that later guess ill only have games on the SSD which also is a good thing I guess and when I upgrade I can buy the 256GB one). The harddrive on that list is 1TB btw. So with all this combined this is what I get how is this build: http://azerty.nl/winkelmandje/winkelmandje/?legen=1&product%5B624189%5D=1&product%5B528532%5D=1&product%5B563520%5D=1&product%5B485170%5D=1&product%5B644251%5D=1&product%5B449555%5D=1&product%5B707630%5D=1
