• Did I spend too much?

I spent hours configuring a perfect build in newegg, but I waited too long to purchase and all the good deals expired. So I threw together some other build and it came to around 820 before rebates. Case: Lian Li pc-7fn -$119 [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112249&nm_mc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel&cm_mmc=TEMC-RMA-Approvel-_-Content-_-text-_-"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112249[/URL] GPU: XFX 5770 $170 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447[/url] HD: 500gb WD $56 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136073[/url] PSU: 600W OCZ $80 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341017[/url] Wireless card: $20 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166038[/url] Mobo: MSI 790FX GD70 $170 (I know this is overkill x100, I don't know what I was thinking) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130223[/url] CPU: Phenom II X4 955 $160 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103808[/url] Ram: Gskill 4gb 1600 $109 [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277[/url] After rebates this should be around $750 Really getting some buyers remorse about this. What does facepunch think?
Please tell me you used the $30 off coupon on the case. You could have saved a bit on the video card too. Like you said, the motherboard is way overkill. Wouldn't surprise me if you could have saved about $100 by making some minor changes. Cancel unless it's too late.
That's not too bad. You got a really nice motherboard though, expect some good overclocking.

Going to contact support to see if see if they can help
Looks fancy. Only thing I would have done was get a generic $50 case and get a 5850 or a 4890. [editline]11:27AM[/editline] Never mind you got an ATX motherboard, kind of overkill as culexor said.
No if he just got an Antec 300 instead...
