What do you think of this pc
techdude154
Hi guys, after trying for months to get a graphics card for a prebuilt pc and settling for a galaxy gt 620. I decided to build my own. Here is the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1ny4H
I was wondering if there was anyway to cheap out on some parts without losing too much performance. I don't have a budget as that I have no idea on what a high performance budget computer costs. I also wonder how well this pc would preform with gaming.

Ditch the powersupply, something like a Enermax Naxn 450W or Corsair CX 430W is enough.
You can bump the motherboard down to something like a ASRock 960GM/U3S3, the 990FXA-UD3 is an overclocking board, since you didn't pick a CPU cooler, I'm guessing that it's not that important.
You can get a cheaper case.
All in all, you get something that looks like...this. Much better CPU performance and get a slightly cheaper system.
Well, the GTX 760 is pretty much a slightly cheaper GTX 670. Here are some benchmarks if you want a really good idea of how well it performs. EVGA GTX 760 Benchmarks
And... FX-8350 Benchmarks
edit2: Cheaper, not better.
