Best possible computer build for $800-$830

Andrewsanchez · Jul 8, 2015

I would prefer having a build with the radeon R9 270x (or better) with minimal throttle and be easily upgradable for future upgrades for the price range above (tax fees, shipping included). also could they be from the same retailer to make purchasing easier.

Z97 motherboard, in case you would like to get i7 in the future, and OC it. If you don't plan to OC/i7 swap this mobo with slightly cheaper h97. Review on mb : http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/asrock-z97m-pro4-motherboard,4180.html
Value i5 4460 for gaming.
r9 290x great GPU for high/ultra settings at 1080p.
Tier 1 PSU. Psu tier list : http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html
Great deal on a Case.

In case you don't need Windows/Optical drive, you can upgrade 290x for 30$ to even better 970 gtx.
