Okay so here is what I have to ask, I am building a PC for my GF I have a 970 and A PSU and A CPU for her I just need everything else (I5 3330 LGA 1155), (Seasonic 520W) (PNY Gtx 970)
So what should I get for about 200-300 also I kinda wanna keep it in DDR3 RAM And No "gamer" stuff.
And For me if you please What GTX 1070 and CPU (LGA 1155) can i get for 600 and recommend a PSU for them i heard 650 was more than good.
Thank you all very much

Well, cases are very personal items, no matter how great a case is, if you think it's ugly, well you have to look at it daily. So I'd recommend you go back to pcpartpicker.com and instead of the detailed view, use list view and look at all the pictures. I personally prefer clean, classical lines, so the fractal design R5 was perfect for my tastes. Not a big fan of the 'extreme gamer' looks of the Apevia lines. But that may be opposite if your gf's taste in pc cases.

It's all too easy for me to say 'here, this is cheap and good' and not care for your own opinion. Shop for what you want, then that can be narrow down to choices.

Oh, and your pcpartpicker.com listing is blank.
For you. Might want to shop ebay for the cpu. I picked up a i7-3770k for $50. That Amazon price is outrageous, simply due to supply (dwindling) and demand. You can pick up brand new for 1/2 that price.

Nice psu, but there are better, cheaper.

Thats a good deal on that Gaming X, but says out of stock, so I'd get a lock on that price or you'll be looking at the Armor 2 version for $10 more when the price of the Gaming X jumps back upto $450 or so.
 
Well this is just around what I do want but what really matter is the GFs computer honestly, she deserves it since she bought the original PSU
Also nice deal on that PSU I like it, and the CPU well i can check but I dont have a paypal, but Ill check around, also i will not be buy all of this within the month.
 
Also I dont exactly want a K processer as my Mobo doesnt support it and I dont wana buy a new one.
Or if i do can i just hook it it to the rest of my computer (hard drive ECT) and it will work fine?
 
Okay so I looked around and I will never find one for 50 Soooo what is an I5 comparable to a good I7 (non K) or K if i want a new mobo, but the GF is still the big thing
 
You are under a misconception. Your board will support a k cpu just fine. It just precludes overclocking. Only reason to look maybe for a k cpu is the k has higher stock clocks, and was in much greater demand than a non k version, so there are more for sale, which brings prices down, usually, lower than non k versions. You could also use a Xeon, like a 1230v2 etc that'll drop 8 threads same as an i7.

Setting up PayPal would be an advisable thing. It offers another layer of buyer protection. It can be used even with Amazon, so you'll not only have Amazon's protection, but PayPal too, and can be linked to either debit or credit cards, bank accounts, gift cards etc. Also means you aren't as restricted to certain sites, and with Black Friday / Cyber Monday almost here, there'll be many sites with huge discounts for online sales. Any of the sites listed in pcpartpicker.com are reputable.

What I meant about my motherboard is that I couldn't overclock it buttt you are right the stock ones are more expensive how odd, but this is not exactly to you but I still wanna build a PC for my girlfriend so I can try building one myself then asking you all if it looks niceish, thanks though Kara????? odd name, but smart answers
