btw ,you can get a smaller monitor and that build is really terrible ( too much 2011 stuff that performs crappy compared to the new stuff at higher prices then the new tech)

mention when you're buying because prices vary often.

who made that build?
that's shocking..

how did you miss the very first sentence? lol
that's shocking..

i took the cpu and motherboard from another build someone else suggested to someone in another thread and just built from there lol. idk? im trying to make a cheap build with the GPU i picked.


do u mean i can get new stuff that costs more yet performs better? or i can get newer stuff around the same price that performs better? cause im trying to lower the price and eithor keep the performance or raise it. thanks!

thanks. but i really like the 27 inch monitor ;]

i see u changed the case, looks nice.
the hard drive for 1 tb same price.... lol cant believe i missed that lawl.
and changed the video card from gtx 570 to radeon 7950. is the radeon better?

imo 1080p in 27" looks disgusting. have you seen it for yourself? plus, theyre so expensive compared to the $144 IPS 23" monitor i put in.
yeah it is better. i had a 570 and now im using a 7950. worth the buy
