• 1100$ Build, Bit of Leeway, AUSTRALIA

I already have speakers, mouse, keyboard, monitors, OS etc. I live in Sydney and I want to pick up any build I get so it isn't DOA, that's why I chose this store (IJK). Will be building it myself with video guides and no experience. I run 1920x1080 and a second 1280x1024 for non-gaming second screen. Just want to be able to play new games on max, and have a fair couple years on decent settings. I based this build off the Falcon Guide but I'm still a bit heavy on the price so if anyone can recommend some things I should change it would be helpful. One thing I'm not sure about is this IN WIN BUC, it's named a bit funny but it seems to be the same product.

It looks like a decent build, though I'd get a less riced case and better RAM. You shouldn't be using economy RAM in a build like that. I know you can't buy from Newegg, but here's some better performance G.SKILL RAM: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231428[/url] If it's your first time building a computer, make sure you use motherboard standoffs (the copper mounts that come in the bag of screws.)
You don't need the K version of the CPU, that means its unlocked and is only good for overclocking. ha, I just got the exact same SSD on a warranty replacement which I'm about to sell on a forum.

Ok I had to choose a different SSD, so I chose an 840. I also opted for the instore building because it's only 45$. If they quote me more than that I'll cancel it. My current estimated price is 1206.

If he wanted to overclock in the future he would also need to buy a new cooler which is just more money, so its not just $20. [QUOTE=Adam Giamboner;38599977][tab]why?[/tab][/QUOTE] Because I already bought a new one while I went through the process of the warranty return?

I'll go for a non-k
