What are you excited about in the new chipset? Did Haswell really open up any possibilities that weren't in Ivy bridge?

Alright, I totally lied, one more question, what PSU wattage are we looking at for GTX 660's in SLI (you know in case he wants more power down the road)

Talking to the friend that I'm building it for, Sounds like we are going with the GTX 660 afterall, One last question, my brand preferences are the Overclocked Asus version or the EVGA version, What do you lean to.

Yeah I love the card, but the money just isn't there >.< I'll see if he can swing it because it would be worth the performance difference, Thanks for all the help.

A GTX 660 is just NOT in the price range of this build, Ps: I've never even heard of Zotac before? if you are going to spend that much money on a card, might as well at least get a decent aftermarket overclocked one for another 15-20 bucks. I run Asus most of the time, they really do nice...

Also, the case is so ugly, Now this may be a little shallow, but I believe him and I alike, are looking for an aesthetically pleasing case.

I'm not sure what he's going to do in the future as far as SLI, so I want to shoot high on the PSU, plus its not terribly expensive. I know the 650ti is weaker than the 560ti but it is also considerably cheaper (though not too much better in performance, only something like 8%), I will look into...

So brett, any case suggestion?

A 650ti will do just fine, name a game that you can't run on near full settings on a 650ti? I run a 560ti in my rig, and where as it's not maxing out games at 100+ fps it still runs everything just fine. For a budget build I would say that this is a pretty fine computer. If it he had another...

I don't see any problem with that. As long as it's got all the pins you need, like Django said, you only need like 500 watts.

Wow, the APU + GPU compo is sort of a joke.

I am sorry, I forgot to post the link to the build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/vQR5 And Don't worry too much about keeping in the 800$ mark, I would say keep the case under like 130$ ish and it'd be really nice if it were a full size case. I've also got to ask, what is this point system that...
