For $600 do this all day. It will run circles around yours and the newegg build.

Why would you buy a crap system just to replace everything in it?

Just buy what I posted from the start and have a VERY good gaming computer that you do not need to upgrade for quite a while.

32gb RAM is stupid. Games use 3.3gb MAX. 8gb is more than enough. the rest will sit around doing nothing.
That watercooler is junk and an air cooler will be better and make less noise.
That W.D. Red HDD is SLOW. it is a server drive not meant for a personal computer.

Seriously just get what I posted.

For a budget of $1500 I suggest you go for an awesome intel . because a 4670k can beat the crap out of a 8350 in gaming

Ok the only reason why I was getting the second drive was to run Ubuntu as a secondary OS for all my day to day stuff and dedicate two solid states in a raid0 to windows for Gaming only. Honestly I work on and repair million dollar computers every day and know very little about the performance side

The build is great, 700W isn't really needed but no problem.
Is your budget $600 or $1500 ?

ok an issue has occured i realized that my Motherboard doesn't have a HDMI port and this is a big problem because i'm using my TV as my monitor and it has no other viable pc connections and i cannot find a motherboard in my price range that has HDMI for that CPU should i switch to a different card like the intel core I3 3240 or find other means like a cross cable or something
