Alright everybody, first I want to thank you all for your suggestions and taking the time out of your day to guide me through this process I know I've flip flopped a lot to different builds It was hard to make up my mind. Okay so this Is the build I ultimately chose (Refer to above).
Now I noticed quickly that their might be a place or two I can shed some more coin. So here Is what I think will save me some money, please let me know if im going in the right direction.
First - The solid state drive, Is this really necessary for gaming? From what I've gathered It's just a much faster drive, If this is the only reason to keep it, then I'm going to drop it.
Second - The case Is pretty expensive compared to some other models. I don't know anything about these cases or how they perform and I don't know where to look. Can you suggest a cheaper one? I've seen a 49.99 case before that was suggested. However I don't know if that case would be sufficient.
Third- Don't I need to add an optical drive to this build? How is it going to read my OS disk?
