asus fanboy here? you are spending at least 350 more than what u need to pay for a similarly speced rig.

 

[MoneyFace =p]

A lot of improvements to be made. What's your budget anyway?

Fwah. Might as well buy an MSI 1060 for 330.

Who on earth still uses optical drives?

What's your purpose in building this pc? Gaming? Productivity?

Any specific games you want to play on? 1080p, 60fps?

When do you intend to upgrade your comp if at all

Are aesthetics important to you?
