$15 off with promo code EMCNENJ23 on the i5-2500K, comes to ~$695 before the $15 MIR assuming you already own Windows.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind about your build:


Why the changes in MoBo and CPU ?
Also, is the GPU you suggested better than the one i chose ? I looked at the benchmark comparison from anandtech and they are somewhat...confusing. 6850 is better for half the test, and 7770 for the second half lol

I was thinking: Couldn't I simply the PSU to the one you chose, add the Case and maybe get a Refurbished HDD + Swap the GPU (I don't know which one is better) and come out with a little better CPU from all this ?

Last Questions: Is there something so bad with the items from my last that you guys needed to remake a whole set up lol

Either way, thanks for the input guys !
