That ASUS mobo and i7-4770k is overkill.... what royfrosty suggested is quite already.... maybe, for case, it will be ur personnal preference.

How u find corsair vengeance 2x4gb 1600mhz at $125? if wan bling bling rams, get avexir core rams...

MSI and sapphire r9 280x is roughly the same price, but sapphire has only 2 yrs warranty as compared to MSI having 3 yrs.

avexir core ram look cool ! do tradepac carry them, i dont see in their pricelist..

 

[hayashl]

No but they can take in on request. Cause few months back i saw people bought it from there.

Else can find pcthemes or cybermind sure have.

[hayashl]

Crucial is a good brand. But i don't know. The color of it just buay ngam the board.
