Cant really go any higher in price might drop the SSD for now and get a cheaper psu to bring price down for now so what you think?

Cost: $1,138 (not counting shipping)

 

[Basic]

Go MicroATX.

I did with my latest build.

Not sure the exact parts didn't memorize them.

MicroATX Case+PowerSuppply 500W: $80
2x4GB Ram: $60
Intel i3-2100 3.1GHz, going to get i5-2500k and put the i3 in my server: $124
Asus microATX motherboard: $100 I think.
XFX Radeon HD 6870: $179.
PLUS a 1080p Monitor: $179

Not sure if I got the prices right, but it was like $700.
With the microATX, that took off at least 150.
I already have the HDD, and poop covered.
You don't so it will prolly be like $900 going MicroATX.

Not sure what you are really going for though.

Otherwise good build.

 

[superstar911]

its higher performance gaming computer then my last computer.

 

[Basic]

Yeah, mine is just going to be a little thing until I have a higher budget.
I am going stick with the microATX it still has room to crossfire, upgrade to 16gb ram, and a new processor.
I have a 2TB hdd, and it also has a slide out motherboard.

 

[Samus.]

You won't need 16GB ram...

 

[superstar911]

agreed i wont go with the microatx either i plan on get another grpahics card after for crossfire x

 

[Basic]

I know I won't need it but I can get it, also I have enough room for crossfire also.

 

[slayhhh]

You won't need 16GB ram...

Ram is so cheap nowadays so why witch?
Just because you don't need it doesn't mean he won't need it.

[superstar911]

i dont need it either lol so this build is good i take it?? lol we started talking about the other guys build

 

[Basic]

LOL, yes your build is good.

I was just saying if you wanna, you can easily go MicroATX and still get the same thing.
Crossfire X, Good amount of RAM, Portability, and it will take your costs down a lot.

 

[superstar911]

i havent seen a micro with two Pci express 16x though

 

[Basic]

Well, you aren't looking in the right place.
I also suggest intel but that is on you, they are both good.
It's just what I prefer.

I just ordered one, I will update this thread in a sec with a link.

yeah those are all ATX not micros likeyou said the mobo have selected has a few on them but i love AMD always have and always will sorry

 

[Basic]

Woops, I guess they don't have any for an AMD AM3+ Socket.

Sorry.

 

[superstar911]

hahha dont be i could use that asrock one you selected brought price down to 1038 lol xD idk looking where i can drop price maybe i wont be able to oh well, if i cant drop price i would just go back to the sabertooth mobo

 

[Basic]

I mean you could also just buy a really good graphics card instead of running Crossfire.

That graphics card you have is the one I am using, it maxes out Skyrim man.
It is amazing.

Again it is up to you though, I am only going with MicroATX because of the price drop, and portability because I'm moving around a lot.

 

[superstar911]

ehh i have a feeling in the future i will need crosfire x idk why but i just ahve that feeling espically when i upgraded to a trip monitor i want that second graphics card there for a saftey net aswell thank you for the suggestion though

 

[Basic]

That graphics card you have selected had an hdmi, and 2x dvi i believe.

 

[superstar911]

i think so too but idk man its just a hunch for later on down the road when i do my rendering and stuff for 3d modeling as a mechanical enginner and gaming on top of that

 

[Basic]

yeah, your setup is perfect for all that.
I was just suggesting MicroATX, lol.
I'm done harassing you
