so you dont need an OS for the build? looks like some good deals/

 

[inwood07]

i do not need OS

 

[genghiskron]

well you could go for a 6870 for $200 at the moment. That would cost you only $22 more dollars. at that price difference i would do it, but its certainly not a must.

Can't do better in that budget with Intel.
