Have you built it yet? If so how does it run? And what will you use this PC for? I'm guessing just gaming? If that is correct then downgrade the Processor to a i5 4670 (k or not k if you want to over clock then K |EDIT| Also for a $1100 build you should have also bought a SSD it will make everything so much faster. Like if you have windows 7 then you will boot up in like 3 seconds. Also For games take skyrim ( If you have played it) Every door you go though takes forever right? Well with a SSD the loading screens would only be like 9 seconds.

Why the heck would you want to downgrade an i7 to an i5...?

zor0ark wroteIf you are blind I said "If you havnt built it yet, and if its only for gaming instead of buying a i7 buy an i5" but only if it is for gaming. Also for just gaming no games uses everything that the i7 has to offer. It only uses say half of it so no need to waste money on somthing you dont need. Now do you understand what im saying?100kevin100 wrote Have you built it yet? If so how does it run? And what will you use this PC for? Im guessing just gaming?

Ah, my apologies I guess. I didn't fully read in which you stated the i7 is unnecessary for gaming, as there's barely any difference in performance when compared to an i5. I thought the op said that he bought the i7 and had his computer already built. And I mistakenly and blindly reacted to your post in which why would you downgrade an i7 to an i5 if he already had built the pc/ ordered the parts. But anyways, I was off-topic from whom you said.

Kevin is correct, just to add to that. It's not worth the extra $100 spent on the i7 since games don't fully support hyper-threading if any but since he has already bought it, whatever, it's still a great processor.
I rated it already.

Also EVGA produce some top quality GPUs, good choice.

I'm not necessarily mad that you criticized my post. It was my ignorance for not reading your post correctly.
