[skullwarrior]

So think I have a pretty solid build.

CPU:15-3570k 169.99 (micro center keeps juggling the price on this...one week its 169 the next week its 189 but ill wait till it goes down to 169)

motherboard:Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H 149.99 (109.99 after the $40 discount)
http://www.microcenter.com/product/387556/GA-Z77X-UD3H_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Intel_Motherboard

RAM: crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 (4GB x 2) 39.99

PSU: corsair hx650 129.99/MIR 119.99 (this should be enough power?)

optical drive: LG 24x SATA - 15.99

Please let me know what you think. Micro center is having a special when you buy the i5-3570k and a motherboard you get $40.00 off.

Get a cheaper board. I have this: http://www.microcenter.com/product/401769/Z77A-G41_LGA_1155_ATX_Intel_Motherboard I like it alot.

I got a combo deal from MC as well.

Get this PSU: http://www.microcenter.com/product/399983/Builder_Series_CX600_600_Watt_ATX_12V_Power_Supply

Buy a video card online. They are cheaper. Look into 7870/ gtx 660ti with the money you saved.

thanks for the feedback. ill look into that

instead of the ASrock extreme6 i have decided to go with the gigabyte ga-z77x-ud3h

http://www.microcenter.com/product/387556/GA-Z77X-UD3H_LGA_1155_Z77_ATX_Intel_Motherboard

from what I was reading online the GB board may not have as much ports/slots but is better quality. With 40 dollars off I'm getting the board for 109.99, I can live with that.

still would like any feedback on the build though if anyone can provide that.

The build looks good. You are way overpaying for the GPU. Microcenter usually has expensive GPU's so go online. You can get a gtx660 for the same price as your 7850 or a 7870 for like 10 more dollars.

I forgot to update the gpu but tigerdirect is has a good deal on the 7850. 194.99 after rebate.

I'm actually trying to stay away from buying parts online, I would like to buy everything local.

oh I hate nvidia products, everything I ever had by them has died on me...

the 7870 is like in the 250's I don't want to spend that much since the 7850 is in the 190's and still a great card
