Without the i7 and the 12GB of RAM you guys suggested, this build was $990.89 USD.

i see that's pretty expensive and you could go alot cheaper to get what you want .

That's what I was thinking but I'm not sure how to lower the price but still get good, solid performance yet.

well for what u need dont focus on a really expensive mother board for starters

you also dont need an SSD for what you want.

Congrats to me on my 200th post by the way

Rank = Residential Elite ! yessss

First, congratulations on putting time and research into building your own pc. It may be a bit tough in the beginning, but the upgrade is worth it. It's nice to see people actually research on their own, even if everything isn't perfect:)

What is your reasoning behind spending more money on something that will most likely offer no benefits? Unless Vexin is doing some serious editing/rendering, an i7 would not be worth the extra money. Not to say an i7 isn't worth the money or is "bad", it would just be a pointless upgrade and the money saved can be spent on something more important.

It really depends on what Vexin is going to be doing. For gaming, 12gb would be useless. However, like the i7 situation, unless you are going to be doing quite a bit of editing, the upgrade just isn't worth it. Also, if you ever feel you need to upgrade down the line, more RAM can always be purchased and added. But I wouldn't consider 12gb to be a priority.

What is your budget? I suggest upgrading the GPU if you can. AMD can offer a lot of price-friendly cards that preform very well. All depends on how much you wanna spend on it and what games you will be playing.

I noticed you have no CPU cooler. I suggest getting an aftermarket cooler just because the stock coolers aren't meant so much for gaming and won't keep the CPU at optimal temps when under heavy load. You don't need thermal paste, as nearly all aftermarket cooler come with it pre-applied OR come with a paste container.

You really don't need an aftermarket fan either. Focus on the priorities. Speaking of priorities... $70 on a dvd-drive?! Maybe you'll use it frequently, so i'm not going to say don't buy it. However, that's a lot to spend on something that you don't "need". You can pick up a $15 dvd-drive that works perfectly fine and use that $55 on something more important.

But the most important question, how much you willing to spend? Oh, and when would you plan on ordering everything? (please be honest)
