that one is good too, but I'm not confident about the motherboard in terms of overclocking, and the motherboard doesn't support sli/crossfire, plus this build uses the stock cooler for the cpu, which I wouldn't recommend, the case doesn't support some cards in terms of size, and this doesn't come with an optical drive, but it still is not bad, but I personally wouldn't recommend it, if you want to save 50 $, then go for it, but I would pay 50$ extra dollars for a much better tomshardware.com approved motherboard overclocking potential and crossfire and sli support that is more reliable, and a cpu cooler, and bigger case and optical drive for 670$, here is the link again http://pcpartpicker.com/p/6nzV8d
