my game build, 2.0

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/pW0f
after more analysis on my previous build, ive come down to this one

-the only item that i may get rid of is the after market cooler, i think the stock cpu cool would do fine, but if you think otherwise please say so, and why
any feedback will be apreciated.

[quote=tonton346]yea i have one thats close by, but truthfully im not doing this because i have money and can buy it whenever, but im trying to learn as much as i can that when i do have money i can reasonably pick whats i want for my system[/quote]

Oh alright. But I really recommend using Microcenter then. They have the best prices for a lot of the parts. Especially the CPU + mobo. Alone their CPU prices are by far the cheapest and if you combo something like the i5-3570k and an LGA1155 mobo, that's another 50$ off. That right there is $100 saved as opposed to buying from newegg or amazon.

[quote=drager260]Do you have a Microcenter near you? I just made a similar build that includes a case and it's only $727 after tax and a digital copy of AC3 comes with the GPU.[/quote]

Edit: It's become even cheaper if you get an i5-3570k too, when you bundle that up with an LGA1155 mobo they take off $50 off the mobo price. And the i5-3570k at Microcenter is only $170.

[quote=WhiteChristmas]Get rid of the amd cpu and get an intel cpu. get rid of the graphics card and get a gtx 670. and where is the case? do you plan on hanging this build on a wall?[/quote]

Don't listen to him!
Intel is overpriced poop.
Keep the processor, but get an amd graphics card insted, like the 7870.

Unless you have an OS or know where you can get one then you're missing that too. You probably know this though but I just thought I'd mention it.
