Hello;

Let me first start off by stating that I have what I think is a decent computer on a min. budget (1200 dollars). Here was the build plans for that computer. (Which I had built for me by a buddy)

OS: Windows 7 64bit home
MB: ASUS M5A97 R2.0
CPU: AMD FX-4170
CPU COOLER: Hyper N520
GPU: MSI N650 PE
MEM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 16 GB
PSU: Cooler Master Extreme Power Plus - 600W Power Supply
CASE: NZXT Guardian 921 RB ATX Mid Tower Case
HDD: WD 1TB @7200RPM

ACCESSORIES:

DRIVE: Lite-On LightScribe 24X SATA DVD+/-RW
KB: Logitech Wireless Wave Combo Mk550 (didnt use mouse)
MONITOR: Acer G236HL Bbd 23-Inch Screen LED-Lit Monitor

(in the 1200 was also the desk, chair, sound system, webcam, 31 in 1 card reader)

hadnt gotten the psu in there yet.


What I now want to do it is build it even better with a slightly bigger budget (around 2k), but I would like to build off of this one I have here and then sell off the remaining items I wouldn't need.

Here is the build I'm looking at for this time around.

* (DONT NEED TO BUY) means I'm using it out of the build I already have.

OS: Windows 7 64bit home (DONT NEED TO BUY)
MB: ASUS Crosshair V Formula-Z MB LINK
CPU: AMD 9370 BLACK CPU LINK
CPU COOLER: Hyper N520 (DONT NEED TO BUY)
GPU: EVGA GeForce GTX760 SuperClocked (X2) GPU LINK
MEM: Corsair Vengeance Blue 16 GB (DONT NEED TO BUY)
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series 850-Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified PSU LINK
CASE: AZZA Solano 1000R CSAZ-1000R FULL TOWER CASE LINK
HDD: WD 1TB @7200RPM (DONT NEED TO BUY)
HDD #2: Samsung Electronics 840 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5-Inch SATA III (X2) HDD LINK



DRIVE: Lite-On LightScribe 24X SATA DVD+/-RW (DONT NEED TO BUY)
KB: Logitech Wireless Wave Combo Mk550 (didnt use mouse) (DONT NEED TO BUY)
MONITOR: Asus VS247H-P 23.6-Inch Full-HD LED-Lit LCD (X3) MONITER LINK
MOUSE: Logitech M570 Wireless Trackball (DONT NEED TO BUY)
TRIPLE MONITOR STAND LINK

I am using this computer for editing and gaming, I edit alot of videos, and do photoshop as well. I enjoyed bf3 on this computer and it ran okay, I am trying to run BF4 better this time around.


I know that i can get some of this stuff for cheaper off of amazon, its easier for product links for me this way tho. I am looking to get this build underway within a month. (Taxes)

I have chosen all of the above and would like to know some input into the parts I've chosen and the pro's/con's about them.

the main reason for the change is when I had this built (current pc) was i bought a MB that supports only crossfire and bought an sli card....lol
