My First Budget Gaming PC Build

[ll champion]

I'll change my GPU to this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150549

The GPU I had previously selected went back to $250 When I had posted it, it was at a comfortable $200.

6950 is not really that much better than a 560ti in a bunch of games and depending on your locality, may be more expensive. Not to mention it is older tech than the current 7000 series so power consumption at idle is higher etc. At least get a 6970 if you want a bit more future proofing. If you could still unlock the 6950s that would be great but unfortunately not anymore. Have to plan in terms of future use especially for gpus.

I can understand price limitations but there is no point going for sub par and having to upgrade every few years.

Lol, the price keeps jumping and jumping. Good pick for the price. Lol the next jump you wake would have to be to a 6970, and if you bump up you might want to be safe and upgrade the psu also, because if the psu fails then normally it takes components out with it.
