I actually would stick with the CPU the OP listed, the i7. He could get the 8GB memory kit and use that towards a better GPU.

And please get a better case for the money. I would never spend over $100 on a mid-tower case. That case is good for functionality, but it is horribly ugly! LOL

You should perhaps get a 1 TB HDD and get liquid cooling, IF the guy OCs heavily.

thats a good build but a r9 290x would be way better

this one is just for gaming

For gaming, my build would be the best as the i7 has the same gaming performance as the i5. I edited my build for OCing and better storage organization.

I believe he has a budget of $1500 that's what he based his original build off of.

he didnt specify

kunthakenthe :

You should be able to infer that as his build was $1488 which probably means he has a budget ceiling of $1500. I don't know how a $1800 build is in his budget unless he saves up much more money.
