yes i did but i choose more toward a more powerful cpu so i have to make cuts on other things

dont choose a more powerful cpu. getting a more powerful graphics card will always be better than a better cpu in most cases.
so i suggest you downgrade your cpu to an intel pentium dual core and upgrade your gpu to a radeon 7770. that would be your best bet

you haven't mentioned what motherboard you will be getting.
plz mention it so other members can, if possible, suggest a better VFM motherboard...
The money you may save there could be invested in a better gpu without having to compromise on the cpu...

instead of that H77 get this H61. its much cheaper and will allow you to get a better graphics card.

Just look at the rig that tomshardware fixed together

It's the best possible rig I think.
