I'm telling you, i can build that rig for 2-3 hundred bucks cheaper, but if you don't want to build it oh well. Take off the 250 gig Samsung, you only need a 120 gig SSD because most likely the OS is going to be installed to the SSD. Next, go for the upgraded i5, the 4670. Also, unless your going to be video editing or graphics work, then 8 gigs of ram is plenty. Can I ask what do you plan to do in the i.t field? I want to go down that path also.

If you build your own you can get the same thing for much much less. I literally just built that same thing for someone on here 10 min ago for $1000

I have it right here for around 1200 bucks, although it has 4 gig edition of the 770 so you could cut off 50 bucks, and if he didn't want to overclock then another 30 bucks, but whatever it's his choice.

This is the one I built it was slightly more budget oriented than Diox55's (shooting for 1000) depends on how the OP wants to go.

The 400R is a much better case, and the 620 watt is better for only 7 more dollars. Also for 10 more dollars, the extreme 4 is much better the Asus. Before you argue that, for 10 bucks you get 2 more sata ports and Sli capability. Plus, I have the 212 Evo, so that'll take out 30 bucks.

Edit- You also didn't include ram in that.

Wasn't arguing that mine was for a strict 1000/1100 budget no more recycled from earlier. RAM didn't post the first time it is in there now though. The PSU and Mobo changes are worth considering though (personally I don't like ASrock though never had any luck)

Sorry, it was my fault. I'm kinda weird sometimes. Anyways, yeah. I liked the Asrock because it was chosen by this very site for best motherboard last year. Also the Antec is fantastic. Learned alot in the couple months I've been here .

 

[Spectre694]

Haha it's all good happens to everyone. Asrock boards are pretty solid but I have always found them to be lacking a little "polish" I guess. You are right though there is always something to learn around here.

For sure, nothing makes you learn faster than putting together a horrid build (it was only on pcpartpicker thank god!) and getting it picked apart by an expert xD
