Total price: ~$3,200

Now, my questions:

1. I have checked all of the parts for compatibility, but I would love it if someone else could confirm that they are compatible.
2. I am open to any advice. However, I won't change the CPU or the case.
3. I was wondering which card reader to choose of the three that I mentioned. If you know of a better one, please inform me about it.
4. I also don't want the price to get any higher, so please don't suggest more expensive ones.
5. I am fairly new to computers (and life, I'm 14), therefore I would appreciate it if you could tell me whether I would need to buy cables such as USB or SATA.

Many thanks in advance! -Robert

That's massively overkill imo. You'd only really need $1700 to achieve that kind of performance.

I dunno if you want to save money for other things in life.....like a car....You could honestly cut the budget in half and not see a difference.

The case is nice, but if you want to save money, get a 3570K instead of the 3770K. I guarantee you won't see a performance drop.

Also, you definitely don't need 32GB of RAM. 16GB or 8GB should suffice.

I'm all for saving money, but if you aren't for that, just go for your computer. The parts are compatible.

Just think, would you want to spend this much again in 4 years?

Thank you for the quick reply. I agree with that, but I have about this much money to spend on a pc (only a pc-long story). And for the RAM, it isn't too expensive, and I plan to be using a couple of brute forcers simultaneously so I might need that much xD. Also, thanks for the compatibility check. I hope to have it for more than four years though haha. I'll take it with me to college and upgrade a couple parts.

What are a couple of "brute forcers?"

If this allotted sum is ONLY to be used for a computer, you might as well. But you will learn that you will become broke in college (I have).

You are going to want money for food, stuff with friends, and gas if none of those are already paid for.

Again, I like to save money, but everyone has a preference.
