Bro, I heard the mobo + cpu combo price is only valid if you buy a complete system from them. So you might need to check the actual pricing from them. They might quote you upto $50-60 more as you are not buying whole system from them. So check with them before you go SLS.

How many GB is this @@ - I think you should follow nippon for the commented parts and place the cost savings on a better GFX card like 970 or 290x.
Your casing is a little too expensive, go for R5 instead which is much cheaper.

Thank you bro for advise.

I will take into consideration of the 2 models of the filco keyboard.
Which is one with bluetooth and non bluetooth. (correct me if im wrong)

As for the GPU, i will do some search to compare before making any decision.

Lastly will go with PCtheme for the monitor.

Thank you very much!

Will try to google regarding such GPU 970 and 290x.

As for casing, no choice. hahaha i love it.
