I might have to copy this build from you since I'm building a sub-$800 gaming PC hopefully very soon! Also I must add very good case choice.


I can't believe that PSU is only $25 after rebates...
I also can't believe you can get R9 280s under $200! They were almost $400 during that AMD mining craze!

I don't mind if you copy it at all! I think I recommended a similar build earlier to someone on here, but not 100% sure if I did or not.

Well I just purchased it all from Newegg. I could have gotten the i5-4590 for $10 cheaper if I had gone to NCIX, but on Newegg even though it was $10 more..it came with 2 games, so I decided to just keep it all on newegg since everything else was already cheapest there.

The total was $761.59 and has 3xMIR for $55, making it $706.59 after MIR. The GPU comes with 3 games (up to $150 I think it is...AMD deal going on right now I'm sure some of you are aware of). The CPU also came with Rome 2 and Grid Auto Sport, not titles I've been itching to play or heard much about, but still a plus in my book :).

I have a copy of Win7 I can throw on here until I can get win8.1. I currently use my 42"HDTV (1080/60)as a second monitor for my laptop, which I will use for this build instead of the laptop. I just bought a G400s mouse 2 weeks ago and already have 2 inexpensive USB keyboards. I do want to upgrade my keyboard soon as well, but I did not want the OS/Monitor/Mouse/Keyboard to interfere with my $700 budget.

OOOOOHHHH I'M soooo EXCITED for a NEW COMPUTER!! Hope I get everything OK and in working order form newegg, :) fingers crossed.
