I have finished my build with a budget of 650$. It includes an OS. I was just wondering if anyone can tell if its in my best interest to change something.

I plan on playing D3, SWTOR, Shogun 2, Skyrim(possibly), and other RTS/MMO/RPG type games.

After this i added 39$ in warrenties(are they needed?) and 24$ in shipping. Any help is appreciated. All that comes to about 637$.

Im closer to building my own than buying off of iBuy or Cyber. Still not 100% though.

Well I have built many, many pcs for myself and for friends and family, and I still recommend ibuypower simply because you get a solid warranty with tech support and no bloatware. What's more, they run your machine through a day or two of testing, so you get peace of mind. I've had two builds get delayed by a week or two because of faulty doa parts that had to be replaced, and it was really nice to know that the pc would arrive in working condition. I understand the desire to know where everything is and get to know your machine by customizing it yourself, but honestly, the ibuypower I just got was made exactly as I would have done it, and you can still use your PC knowledge to upgrade it. Your call, though, of course. Just don't let the savings argument be an issue, because it isn't a factor with ibuy. (CyberpowerPC charges about 10% more.) You can still 'know' your rig if somebody else built it since you choose all the parts. They send you all the software and manuals that came with your parts, and they get you your machine pretty fast - so long as you don't order it in November or December.

I configured the same pc im going to build (or as close as i could get and its over my budget. Id probably rather build one myself, thanks for the info though.

Micro ATX boards can fit into ATX cases if that's what you mean. No need to choose a different case.

Somethings totally effed up with this site. Here's the links to mobo and GPU:

For $18 more you can have this ATX board with USB3 ports on the rear panel and vrm cooler:

What should i put warranties on? It has 24$ shipping and is 617$ now. That is 641$. Are warranties essential to a first time builder?

^^This^^ I like. And when I think about it you could save even an additional $45 if you buy this Intel MB/CPU combo:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

So basically with this you would have a lot better performing PC in today's games, but you'd have to settle for micro ATX and no CPU overclock as an option. Instead you would have the option to change it to an i5 when you feel the need for more power. Sorry for text links, I think my Firefox is broken.

Would this change the case?

Any way you could Knock off some $. Like on the DVD drive?

You can buy this case http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811156243 $35

and this Hard Drive http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136769 $80

which will save you $20 compared to the other case which was $50 and the other hard drive that cost $85.

Would you recommend getting warranties for every part or none or just certain parts?

I thought that prebuild had a 6670, not 6770. 6770 is a little faster than 7750 on stock, but you can overclock a 7750 more, so in the end it's all the same s#łt. I'd rather get a 7750 because it's newer and consumes less power, but that PSU I linked can handle a 6770 just fine. Your choice.PfizersaurusRex
Ok. Thanks for clearing that up.

You sure the 7750 is better than the 6770? I did some research and it shows that the 7750 is more PSU freindly but is less powerful than the 6770. Can someone please confirm this? If so ill just get the 6770. It will save me some money.
