if u're absolutely sure you will never overclock, get build 1

this is on sale right now at microcenter down the street. might pick this up for the build.

Smart move. Samsung still rules the SSD world.

thats only when bundled with a cpu/mobo so I wonder if I should buy a cpu/mobo there as well.

edit: honestly I wouldn't be opposed to buying the entire build at microcenter since its down the street and i can buy it all at once (even if i pay a little more), but it seems like their prices are pretty decent.

I was just in the store and 1070s where $560, 1080s were $700, 1080tis were $1100
