I've got a build lined up but want to get some oppinions on cutting the fat a little. IE - Trim costs as much as possible while still being pleased with performance.
Computer Use: Gaming (Star Wars The Old Republic), Web, Work
Goal: Create a system that can handle Star Wars and any modern day games without an overkill to the wallet.
Parts Not Required: Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor, Case
Parts Pref: None
Overclocking: I hope the system is powerful enough where I wouldn't need to.
Country: US
Preferred Vendor: NewEgg or Amazon (but not picky)
Here is what I'm thinking but want to see if anyone can see any overkill for what I'm trying to do. Remember I'm trying to back the cost down, my goal is $800 shipped. This build is currently sitting at $1,100:
