You might as well spend three extra dollars and just get a true dual channel RAM kit.

NCIX sells the same GPU without a backplate for $40 cheaper, and the version you have selected with the backplate looks like it's out of stock anyway. You can then purchase your own backplate for $32 and save 8 bucks if you're hell bent on having it.

I have a backplate on my current GPU, and I'd say it's not all that worth it unless you're really striving for aesthetics. You do get a solid look at the GPU through your case's window.

Here, I saved you $60 and found you 4 extra gigs of RAM.

I won't push you all that hard on this, but I've enjoyed much better MX Sim performance with my Intel setup than I did with my AMD setup. If you are planning on keeping this PC around for a while and feel like you would ever want to go Intel, I would suggest getting an Intel CPU and a nice motherboard while you're spending this initial $1300. Somewhere down the line when you want a performance boost, it will feel a lot better spending $350 on a new GPU rather than spending $350 and swapping all your parts to a new board.

I have played around and Actually found this! Most games dont need 16gb of ram so I wont bother having that. I think this build is better than the one I showed up top.

Seems pretty good to me. I would still suggest a 16GB RAM kit since the prices are so great right now, and it's always better to have too much than not enough.

If you are planning on getting the video card in person at Micro Center, you should look into their CPU+motherboard bundle deals.

True, and it's only a few bucks more, I'll be buying everything at Fry's electronics. They match the price as the online price if you shoe them. Idk if they have Fry's where you live but it's pretty good. Lol

That sounds good. I'll do it. Sounds like it could run pretty good.
