That case at $170 :/ Cheaper ram which is also faster GeIL EVO Veloce Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 : http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144617&clickid=WfeUomSTTRYF1E:xBZ3oOQB9UkTyukxnNTWRxU0&iradid=97618&ircid=2106&irpid=79301&nm_mc=AFC-IR&cm_mmc=AFC-IR-_-na-_-na-_-na SSD seems pricy, consider Crucial M500 240GB @ 125 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BQ8RM1A/?tag=pcpapi-20 Consider air cooling Expensive motherboard :/ if you dont know exactly which features of it you would need, you are spending too much money. Spend all these savings on good monitors (unless those are already good) | ||

I've seen lots of stuff like this ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/omtV4wf.gif) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/22BVZU8.gif) ^That's only about a 10% performance improvement (less than 15k frames to about 16k in the bench run) but it sure looks/feels like a completely different game, i'd imagine However, this is a pic from an nvidia user very recently (days ago) and similar to what i saw in beta and have seen from people giving me into since: ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/HpSvtwS.png) ^An average FPS of 149, yet would look terrible compared to quake live/cs in terms of both smoothness and playing on a strobe backlight, because when you're getting so many frames strobed twice (screen refresh twice on 120 or 100hz before frame changes) you get weird doubled-up images. I'd rather play on a 280x and med settings than experience that kind of performance, for the better gameplay - The mantle pic clearly has no frames slower than 10ms aside from the hang that happened once in 16k frames. | ||

Looking for an accompanying gpu right now. I was looking at the 650ti boost but it isn't really that available right now. Is there anything else at that general price point that is Nvidia? Maybe I"m nuts but I"ve had such terrible luck with ati drivers I"m a bit scared of going back there. | ||

But I think the ti would be ok. Definitely would bottleneck the i5 but I'm not a graphics freak. Being able to stream would be nice but a lot of that falls on cpu if I'm not mistaken. Oh, and eve because why not. | ||

War Thunder might do well enough with a GTX 660, check to see if it's in your price range. It should be something like $200? Maybe less even. 650 Ti is all right but it's still somewhat entry level. Though for Dota 2 and SC2 it's definitely enough. I don't know about Civ 5 but I don't imagine it to be graphically demanding. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125443 That's actually all right, especially if you feel like selling Assassin's Creed. Could get yourself quite a nice GPU $50-60 off. | ||

If it's reasonable resale I'll purchase that, it's more than I need but that never hurt anyone. | ||
