Well this is for the time being upgrades would come later. So I am asking if this build would fit together and be able to be upgraded in the future without too much conflict.

Thank you for your reply.

Like five-seven hundred including the purchase of windows but if possible id like to keep it minimal, you know money for other things in life is always nice. I'm not expecting or even care for the big graphics or high frames atm hence why im not buying a new gpu or want to upgrade ram. Low-Medium 30fps 1080p is fine with me for now.

But, any advice for the future would also be greatly appreciated.

Thank you much for the reply.

I chose these two together because I have read good reviews on both and I can get 80 dollars off a combo of them together. Is the difference that noticeable and worth the extra money?

Do you need a monitor and peripherals?

If you get 80 bucks off that it is OK. but the difference, in short, is yes.

Yes I do have a monitor, keyboard etc., and if so, a recommendation would be nice. :) Five to Seven Hundred is my current budget.

if your links are correct as to the exact parts, then no, they are not compatible. The Gigabyte FX990 uses 240pin DIMM, the Ram chosen in newegg is 204pin SO-DIMM , not compatible at all, one is for pc's, the other for notebooks.
That Hitachi is SATA3, you're gonna take a performance hit when faced with load times before, during data extensive games.
The rest of the parts are all solid choices

The ram I listed is currently used in my Pc and Im not having too much of an issue with the HDD with my current games. But, recommendations would be greatly appreciated. :)

Thank you very much for your reply.

Thank you for the reply but I already own the gfx card psu disc writer and ram unless you recommend i replace all? 😵 Oh and since Im a student in college I can get Win 8.1 for 70 dollars.

So I was only planning to replace some parts and match others. Its not 700 for a whole new build. Just the parts I need to replace.

Thank you very much for the reply and your time.

No upgrades needed in this build, except gpu and/or HDD at a later date, as suggested. buy W8 at college
