I am assuming you are in the US. This build is a little CPU heavy. I made the assumption that the case was not part of the cost. This build has 16GB of ram technically you only need 8. Also there is an optical drive which may be unnecessary. There is no data drive as well in the build. Some people work well with only a 250GB drive.

Case is great. I just bought one for my build and I love it. The case is very roomy and with 3 of the 5 stock fans going, you can feel cool air being pushed out. Just thought I'd add that. Oh and don't listen to the reviews on newegg because the case is in fact silent.

What are the 3 fans you turned on?

So, R9 380X can run GTA V at high settings? oO

The two in the front and the one in the back. The other two fans are located at the top of the case and are controlled by the Hi-Lo fan speed selector, so I decided to keep them off until I dabble in overclocking.

Very high @ 1920x1080 average fps is 38.1 99th percentile is 22.7 fps. now settings (MSAA) can be lowered but if you want the ability to overclock the r9 380X was the best card I could put in the build. Most people with an $800 budget would probably opt for an i3 or low end i5 and a better GPU.

If you already own the case, and are ok without overclocking this would probably be a better budget option.

If you need to save money 8 GB of ram saves $18 and the dvd drive could be cut for an additional $14. if you are a fan of Nvidia, which comes with the division but is about $15-20 more expensive or if you are a hitman fan you could pick a 390 up from newegg for $4 more.
