800 Dollar haswell very hard lah

ivyb can

$800 very tight. Haswell is not possible. The cheapest haswell is already priced at $340. That is almost half your budget gone.

And for ff14 the recommended GPU is an gtx660.

Asrock b75m dgs + i5-3350P ~ $271
Kingston Value Ram 8gb ~ $81
WD Blue 500gb ~ $70
Gigabyte gtx 660 2gb oc ~ $281
FSP hexa 500w ~ $58
Sharkoon ms140 ~ $54

$815 build at tradepac. Ask for further discount to meet your budget.

You can top up $9 more for a Powercolor 7870 2gb myst which will be much better option.

You get the E33 you will have shortage on usb 3.0 front.

650ti is quite a big performance gap from 660. Unless you say 650ti Boost then the performance almost reach 660.

No point getting the Ripjaws if you aint seeing what is inside. And also on top of that just get the Kingston Value ram 1600mhz 8gb.

You dont need up to a 620W for the setup. 5XXW is sufficient.

Toshiba HDD if you gonna get at $81 might as well get WD Blue same price.

No comments on the Antec One.

And if you are on a tight budget like what me and nipppon have recommended, just go for an ivy setup. You wont feel a performance gap at all for gaming.

Funny that TS wants a haswell build and he stated with i5-3xxx...

If you read properly he stated that he wanted a haswell rig, but if the budget of 800 is too low to get one, then he could settle with a i5-3xxx instead
