Looking to build a gaming rig!

[bjornng]

hey guys, just called PCThemes and they told me they're oos of the Gigabyte B75M-D3V. so i was thinking of getting it at other shops and buy the rest at PCThemes to fix it. however, i saw from Tradepac's price list that they're selling the i5-3450 + Asrock H77 PRO4/MVP @ $375. so i was wondering, do you think I should upgrade it instead? here's my current final list:

CPU + MB : i5-3450+Gigabtye B75M-D3V @ $366 OR Asrock H77 PRO4/MVP @ $375 (Tradepac)
DVDRW : LG 24X DVD-RW Sata @ $25
RAM : PC3-12800/1600MHz Corsair Vengeance (4GB x 2) CL9 @ $78
GPU + PSU : Sapphire HD7850 2GB OC + SuperFlower 550W Amazon 80+Bronze @ $405
HDD : Hitachi 1TB 7200RPM 32MB @ $133
SSD : Crucial M4 128GB @ $195
Monitor : Dell U2312HM @ $289
Case : NZXT Tempest 410 Elite @ $99

See if they can beat or match the price?

I'm now on the road.
Too lazy to take out app or calculator to count.

But i asked a similar settings.
3450 with as rock h77 mvp.
But with g skill basic rams and a $109 casing.
Forgot what power he recommended, but I think it's a 620 as I'm getting 2tb.

Whole pricing plus installation was ard 1508.
I think you able to get lesser or somehow the same price?

hmmm.. but there wouldn't be much difference right if i get the 1333mhz instead, save that $22! since i'm not intending to overclock anyway, and i've read a few ppl saying that their corsair vengeance were at 1333mhz instead of 1600mhz. a

Rams get the Gskill value rams enough. DVD writer change to Sony 24x for the large button. HDD change to 2TB and pay $30 more and you are good to go

I think its the box right outside the counter.

Actually, the pricing is just sweet. Too bad dont have the casing.

In the end, went other place and got a mega casing.
