The HD 7970 would be a better choice. It is chepaer and has similar performance to the GTX 770. furthermore , you get 3 free games

What's the purpose of this PC build? For gaming?

It looks good to me! Hah you got one beat of a motherboard! I was actually going to tell you to spend less there but since you've got it that's fine. But I made some upgrades, or brand changes.

>>> So I may have splurged on a little more with the GTX 780 3GB! If not, you can cut that out. The rest are pretty similar but model preferences. Looks pretty solid!

16GB of RAM ? That's a too much. 2x4GB of RAM is all you would ever need, unless you're planning to do intense 3D animation and video rendering

Aye cheers guys, i'm gonna go for the HD 7970 because the GTX 780 is a bit out my money range, but thanks for the suggestion!!

 

[linckmichael]

Hah that's why I asked. Course I know 8GBs are enough for gaming 😉 He had 24GBs of RAM in the first place. I'm thinking there must be a reason why he chose 24, so I'll cut it to 16GB. The list is flexible if the buyer wants to change certain things
