Fwiw it's not like I'm not a shitter myself. He's having a laugh about the "no infinite combo" mechanic atm, playing Parasoul. Apparently he's not into projectiles though. | ||

psu is overkill. look at the cx m series for cheap modular PSU. should be aiming for a much nicer gpu at that price point as well. the 900 series came out i believe. also, with 2tb black series, you're better off getting like 4 1tb drive and putting them in RAID, and you'd still come out ahead in speed and storage. Also, do you really need 2tb? that's a pretty insane amount of storage (unless you're a data hoarder, in that case that's not nearly enough). noctua cooler is nice, but if you're not overclocking you can probably save yourself like 40 bucks and just get a hyper 212 evo. also not a fan of "gaming" headsets. or "gaming" headphones. You're better off spending the money on an actual pair of headphones, and getting a much better quality for the same price. | ||

I would definitely not mind cutting costs though hahaha. I will take your advice in to consideration. Okay, so, keeping with your budget I did some tinkering. I immediately set aside the allowances for your peripherals because personal preference yada yada. I came up with this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/fVkqVn CPU: You don't need 8 cores for gaming. 4 is plenty with current standards. I sat you with the most powerful i5 available, which is the most practical for gaming. Mobo: Changed to work with Intel CPUs. RAM: Like the CPU, you don't need 16GB, 8GB should be more than enough. GPU: You said you didn't want to multi card it and with your budget, a 760 is honestly a joke. 980 is currently the best single card option you can go with. SSD: Changed to Crucial to save a bit of money. HDD: This is going to be for documents, movies/shows, and just about anything that isn't your OS or games. You don't need a high speed drive for this. I also knocked down the size a bit, but in the end you know what will work best for you so don't feel bad about going over my head on this one and getting a larger version of this drive. Optical: Went with what you had because it's preference. I personally don't see the benefit of a Blu-Ray drive, but I have a PS3 so I already have one. PSU: You massively overshot on this, but most people do. You're factory settings max should be around 360W on this build, so this unit will give you 140W(ish) to play with when you get into overclocking. Case: I was going to go with the one you had, but it wouldn't have been able to take advantage of the USB3.0 ports on your mobo and they weren't sure if it was compatible with the cooler. Cooler: Since you don't have an oversized CPU, why have an oversized cooler?  Post promo codes and rebates it's only ~$10 over budget. | ||

Wtf 2 Dio? Overall better than part 6 obviously, but I still prefer 3, 4 and 5. | ||
