[b]TOTAL PRICE[/b] - $1614.91
my budget is mostly $1500-$2000 but id like to save some money
build is meant for most recent games (aka max payne 3 etc) and possibly future games??? no future-proofing though thats silly as well as 3d modeling, videos, and other small real-time stuff (nothing professional)
anything i can replace by chance (also i need to know if i need spare fans)

updated this a shitton holy SHIT
Get an R9 280X, it outperforms the GTX 770 for less money. I suggest the MSI TwinFrozr version.
thanks babe
-snip, it isn't cheaper in the US-
Here's my recommendation:

MSI is generally considered a better motherboard brand. Barracuda is faster and much cheaper than caviar black and it leaves you room to upgrade the SSD to an 840 evo.

Also I would replace the case, for $120 you can do better.
This is could if you want to stay near the same price for case: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-caso530m1[/url]
But this: [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/part/nzxt-case-casw810m1[/url]
The Switch 810 is an AMAZING case. It supports up to 10 fans some of which are in places cases almost [I]never[/I] put fans (like the angled fan to the right of the GPU). I don't think there is a case with better airflow. If you were to combine this with a Dark Rock Pro 2 and an ARCTIC Accelero Xtreme III VGA Cooler, I believe it would be the best air cooling possible.
im overlooking the cases but the 840 EVO and the Data Premiere are both around 120gb and looking over the specs there doesnt seem that much of a difference and the evo is about $10-$20 more
is there any noticeable difference between the two that you know of by chance
also the arctic fan is out of stock on newegg so ill wait until its back in stock to add it to the list...
Quite frankly I'm finding it a pain in the ass to find benchmarks for the two. I'm not sure which is better, so decide for yourself.
i suppose ill go with the 128 since it saves me 10 bucks and has a whole 8 more gigs of space like wow if this was 1999 that would be an amazing deal
ok so i downgraded the ram to 8 gigs idk why i chose 16 and i replaced the keyboard
