Care to cite your source ? <| sep |> This is a very decent build but I would recommend going with an i 5 as i 7 doesn ' t contrbiute much if you are looking to game , have a search around you will see this mentioned repeatedly . Personally I would recommend this motherboard and cpu combinationcpubx 80662 i 56600 kmotherboardz 170 eSaving you approx $ 200 which you could put towards a better graphics card , maybe a 1080 ?

Many people have an irrational attraction to money , but we don ' t feel much compassion for muggers or bank robbers . Most people get irrationally angry at times , but we don ' t feel bad for people that beat the hell out of those that anger them . Society requires a certain amount of selfcontrol . We ' ve all been dealt a bad hand , in some way or another , but that doesn ' t justify abandoning that selfcontrol .
