Overkill in ram...

Could have gotten 7870 myst at around that price.

The mobo aint that good. Could have gotten a B85 mobo with more USB 3.0 ports...

yea.. I was the one who insisted in 16 gb ram.. coz I kept running out

anyway, we didn't get bundle set, so hard to get better price...
coz we didn't get hdd / optical drive / etc

my friend was happy with the price vs performance ratio
but if I lag, I'm gonna kill him :s13:

now I got extra funds to get a PS4 =)
