How is this rig and would it be the best for around that price? I dont plan to OC but figured to get it anyways. No peripherals, I will need a case but will get it here at local shop.

CPU and Mobo for combo.

Thanks fellas.

Does it beat it by alot, I mean its saves me over $100. With the GTX 970, would I still be able to play anygame on high ++?
