Rate my gaming rig cost vs function

[RoboThompson]

I was wondering if this is the optimal set up for my money? or if there where places i could shave off cost without losing the performance im gearing towards! Just a heads up the i7 is more for future proofing i know the i5 has the same performance for just gaming right now

Might just be me, but I don't see any specs posted anywhere.

But for the record, the cost to performance ratio for an i7 isn't very good.

It costs more sure. Also performs a bit better. But the high price doesn't

justify how little of a performance increase you get over an i5. However

if you're doing things like video and image-editing, an i7 is quite worth it.

Haha what the heck I am silly >.<, and yeah my gf uses photoshop and some video editing program alot as well.

Also added a link to my build, sorry about that

I think it's a great build.

With that CPU, you better be OC'ing though, or it's a waste.

 

[RoboThompson]

OH! I am OC'ing hence the water cooler ;]

Do you think I will be ale to run most games on utlra without my fps dropping to low?

Good boy. I'd hunt you down and do unspeakable things to you if you didn't OC!
