Ah yeah, well that explains it then doesn't it. Like I said, either mine or ric's build are good. They're basically the same, except for a different psu. But like I said, both are tier 1 and both are very well built. Can't go wrong with either one. So pick either one really, I prefer the 390 a little more, but in the real world, there is no discernible difference between that...

Um no, worse build now. You just paired an unlocked cpu with and h110 mb. You also didn't swap out the psu, like I said the p2 series is much much better than the gs series, and $10 cheaper! Also, don't buy that ssd, stick with the industry leader here, samsung. Here, this is the perfect build for you:

Do you plan on oc'ing? If not, save some money and stick with the 6500 like you originally had.

I ended up going back to my original build as I stared to jump away from my budget.

Again, not a good build. Get rid of that psu, don't touch that ssd, and spring for 16gb of ram for only $15 more. Here, this is a much better build:

You could swap the psu out with that seasonic ricardan linked, both are superb choices, can't go wrong with either. But there is no reason to be using that expensive inferior gs series. And for the love of god, don't touch that ssd. The build I have here is exactly what you need if you won't be oc'ing.

I didn't change the gc. But he can also get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-video-card-turbogtx970oc4gd5

Honestly, 390 and 970 both are great. Both play cat and mouse on certain benchmarks, he can't go wrong with either. That being said, I do tend to agree with you, I lean towards the 390 more than the 970 more often than not.

Um no...why on earth would you pick the 840? The 850 is cheaper, bigger, newer, and better? Also, you could probably go cheaper on the gc, the 390 or the 970 is below $300 at this point. And again, 16gb of ram is literally only $20 more. You're spending over $1000 on a pc, $20 is a drop in the bucket.

Reposting, but this still applies. I do not know why you do not consider this as it is better than your other builds.

Yeah it is, we keep telling you op what to pick, and you keep picking different parts. Either of our builds easily outperform any of the builds you keep posting.
