    Could save money on the psu by getting 500w.
    Might want a H77 mobo that is normal size
    Get 8gb ram definately worth 20$ more
    Might want i5 3570k or i3 3220/3225 instead.
    Might want 2gb 7850

    All in all like 75$ difference and huge performance increase (i5). Could go with i3 to save 90$

    Do you need the OS still?

    Disk Drive - are you pulling that from an old computer?

    RSJJ had a pretty good idea with his set up. As stated, you may also want to invest the little extra money for the "K" version.

    And I think you MAY want to bump up the HDD for the extra $20 as well. 64MB Cache (as opposed to 16) + 1TB (as opposed to 500GB). I mean, it's not my money to spend but I might invest the extra $20 fort hat as well...

    You may want to buy an aftermarket CPU cooler and an SSD for faster boot times.

    Here's the CPU cooler I use:

    Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO

    I wouldn't advise he buys a SSD on his budget when he could upgrade the GPU/CPU with the cash instead.

    GL beating this for the price, you can up the 7870 LE to a 7950 with the extra 20-50 bucks, the 7870 XT it's basically a 7930, it's tahiti, it has 1.5k stream processors, it's cool, and best of all, cheap.
