So what you are saying without the case its 680 $ ?
 


No i am saying, they dont count your processor when the price is N/A they are not adding it into the final price. Delete everything other and leave only the amd fx processor alone and you will see :)

I have no clue what Yoann Teodosieff is talking about on the price, if in any way its wrong is if you cant get the discounts or mail in rebate.

$700 is magical!

Sorry its not amazon, i just find putting a rig together there is a pain, but they will have similar price on the same parts.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2rPKB
Total $708
The key to this is a gtx 770 for $330-350
Then the linked cpu is the 4570 but I would try to get an extra $40 for the 4670k if at all possible.
The motherboard was chosen because it is a Z87 board from a great manufacturer, but is cheap to allow a better cpu and gpu.
The other parts are to meet budget while supporting the rest of the build. The stock cooler and 4gb of ram will be sufficient. Down the road you can add a fancy cooler and second stick of ram as cheap upgrades.

Is it okay if i start another thread where i say a budget from 700$ cause then more people will see it and i like to see differences between peoples builds, but this one is gonna stay for sure it has great build in it which i'l maybe use.
