Why don't you get it all from one place? Will save you a bunch in shipping.

I will at the end, PC Part Picker chooses places with the best deal on 1. The Product. 2. Shipping. And 3. Rebates.

Where it says @newegg etc. Is not final. I will buy in bulk to save on shipping.

You've got quite a free budget there

175 bucks for keyboard and mouse?!?!?

[KTM57]

Get the Razer keyboard that's like $50. $130 is too much for a keyboard that looks cooler.

Case will either be on of these:
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... =T925-7006
or
http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications ... =T925-3082
but i still may go with the one in the list.

Keyboard will probably be switched with this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 6823816002 even though same price. Idk. Still deciding i dont wanna spend too much. I have like 5 diff Keyboards and Cases bookmarked.

I changed the ram from 1600 to 1866 because its recommended for my CPU for overclock.

Changed the Graphics Card.

thats it for now. Wont build final til after July5th aka payday.

I still don't see why you would want to spend so much on a keyboard and mouse. You really don't need to have 'gaming' keyboard and mouse. The Razer stuff is cool, but I personally would only dish out cash for a headset from them.

IMO the only thing thats really worth it right now is the DeathAdder.

Keyboard im looking for cheaper better ones im leaning towards Logitech. Ive just always wanted mechanical.

Im far still around 20 days away from the build maybe more so if my $$ isnt enough ill buy cheaper. I also need to save for a 2nd monitor and games

[KTM57]

Get dual monitors before a sweet keyboard. It's honestly a bigger luxury than I can explain.

Some good specs. I just built my pc last week I have the Ivy 3570k and Xfx 7850 they work great I went asus board just because I've had good luck with them in the past also with Xfx (both brands are in a 5yr old pc and it still runs like a champ). I got my os on a ssd my pc is quick I don't go over 40c (hardly get to 40c) with a Corsair H100 water cooler, I put a Corsair 850w Psu just for future crossfire mode, and I also have the Black Cavier drive it's great. The only thing I did not buy was a monitor because I have a nice 1080p one but I got all my parts from Newegg and my whole build cost around $800, which is far less if you go through a company like Cyber power pc.

Definitely, but doesnt cyberpower only have prebuilt? i wanted to do this build with all parts nothing premade.

I might SLI in the future with the 570's. or just upgrade to a new card when time comes. And yeah i still dont have a cooler, still looking at good affordable ones. Its just if i get a PC with like 2x200mm fans idk if id need it

Yea Cyber Power is Prebuilt Pc's I have 64bit windows 7 and on my index my CPU scored the worse with I believe a 7.6 out of 7.9, but I have not over clocked anything. I got the H100 Water cooler because my case could fit it, it's 240mm and runs two 120mm fans. There's other Corsair water coolers for cheaper prices but newegg sometimes has really good deals on certain items at times. The Nvidia cards are very nice but they also run a little more price wise. I went with Xfx card since its $250 2gb and is able to take advantage of the Pci 3.0 that the z77 boards have now. Which if you end up running in Sli or Cross Fire can run them a little better then 2.1 or 2.0 pci. Building my computer and after seeing the finished product I'm very happy with it especially when compared to how much it would cost if you had someone else build it. Plays Mx Sim and other games quick with no issues, the ssd boots my OS in around 7sec.

Thats nice, i might still do some revising, it sucks that im building this in Summer because Winter has all the sales

[Mxer59]

Yea winter sometimes has better deals, I have to build another pc my old computer motherboard finally went out I found the date on when it was built 6yrs ago, so lasted a long time this one will be AMD build for a budget system for my sister
