Getting around $750 For Blance choose Hdd 500 Check out Gpu also

Could he please link the Rosewill PSU? Not all the Rosewills were very good. Newer ones were solid but not the older ones.

Also I disagree with Unknown on CPU, MB, GPU and HDD choice.

Check out my $850 build here:

Since you don't need the HDD or possibly the PSU, that's $145 off which gets you to about your budget.

 

[THE UNKNOWN]

His stated $700 + little more If its around $900 i agree with you.
I just adviced him about hdd if it not at list mine goes $630

and thanks for help =)

 

[aznshinobi]

Well OP didn't need HDD and PSU, so yeah. And it is only a little more for more GPU and slightly more CPU power, plus future proofing. The PSU isn't terrible. Not fantastic but it'll work.

 

[THE UNKNOWN]

Its right but HDD is also Important.

 

[aznshinobi]

HDD is important but not worth the cost they are now. He has a 300GB might as well use it, if he wants he can always upgrade later.

of course buying windows 7 also comes out to be about 770

Try this mobo instead if you are buying an IB processor

[aznshinobi]

Why get that Z77 board? You it only gets Crossfire/SLI at 16x/4x. Which is a whole lot worse than 8x/8x. The board is Z68 but it doesn't mean it can't be used for IB. Z77 only gets a native PCI 3.0 and native USB 3.0 controller. Nothing of huge improvement. Z68 has Gen3, and the on the board USB 3.0 controller still performs the same.

Build looks solid.

 

[proedge]

so new IB processor will work fine with Mobo i chose even though IB just came out?

 

[aznshinobi]

Yes. Gen3 is manufactured to be for Ivy Bridge to have PCI 3.0 utilization on Z68 boards.
