What is the purpose of this build?

 

[IVIooney]

Mostly gaming.

Drop down to an Intel Core I5-4670K. Still plenty of CPU for gaming and productivity programs.
Unless you're working with extremely large files (10GB+) 8GB of RAM is more than enough for your purposes.
Drop down to an AMD Radeon R9-280. For a single monitor set up, you're probably not going to notice that much of a difference in games.
Never saw what others do in gaming peripherals. $20 for a keyboard and mouse.

if you're into editing, rendering, or any other CPU & memory intensive tasks, get a 2x8GB ram kit instead, & maybe an i7-4770k. the i5 can handle those task just fine though not as good as the i7, so consider keeping that i5 if you're looking to save some.

if you're looking for a good, decent cooler in the $50 range, none is better for the price than CM's Hyper 212 EVO.

it may not have as much features as the extreme6, but for the price, the extreme4 makes for a good alternative.

same goes for the GPU. the 280X is no 290, but at 1080p, the 280X or the 770 (whichever's cheaper at the time) will do you plenty.

unless this PC will be turned on 24/7 for weeks, a Bronze 80+ PSU will make for a good compromise if you much prefer to save up now then over the long term. consider getting 750W if you're planning a dual SLI/CF setup.

So I took your build but instead of the i-5 i put in my original i-7, and instead of the video card you put in, I chose my original choice, the MSI Radeon r9 290. And it fits my $1600 budget. Thanks man. I'd rather have too much processing power than not enough.
