You can save money by either upgrading or using the current. Get a 22" screen not 21.5".. they just look better. You have selected a micro-ATX mobo and a ATX case.. generally ATX is better as allows for more expansion, extra slots etc.. hxtr, Nisty*, loaderXI and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raidmax power supplies do not hold up.Most of those cheap ones have 2 to 4 power rails and each rail is only 15-20 amps.You will overload and burn that cheap thing up.You video card will need something with atleast 1 35 amp power rail. This is a MUCH better motherboard but it's $105 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813132415 850watt Power Supply [email protected] power rail with an amazing 7 year Warranty $134 -$35 after mail in rebate = $99.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817438034 Building a good PC is all about checking the numbers.

Get a mobo that is going to allow decent upgrades in future. R9 270 is a great value graphics card. I love mine, but it can get hot so you need to get a decent set of case fans.

Generally ATX are better as they have better components, more expansion and allow for better cooling systems. I would try and save the money from the OS if possible to spend on the hardware, its cheaper to update the OS at a later date than the hardware. For the screen.. no 'real' reason just that extra .5" can make all the difference for your viewing pleasure.. hxtr and Nisty* 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

For gaming you even now have the option of SteamOS. There are plenty of great alternatives to windows. (steam runs on linux now too btw) I mostly get annoyed with windows when I'm working on projects. As a development platform, it sucks dog balls.
