Well I prefer using an SSD + ATX case for more room. My setup that I will be buying is like 1100$ and isn't as good as that. I'll post my parts


A full tower? You don't need one. An SSD also isn't needed at that low of a budget.

I'm a first time builder and it's nice to have room.

ALSO: Please don't tell me you're gonna put and R9 on a micro motherboard



Full ATX Tower cases are the sort of cases that look like home theater speakers. They're very big. You will have plenty of room in an ATX Mid Tower. I built my first computer in a MicroATX Tower.

It is midnight and i am half asleep.

How can you be half asleep? You mean tired? Because I don't believe someone who sits on the computer all day is tired.

I'm asking you to leave this thread right now because you can't seem to stop

I would also prefer 4 R9 295X and Dual 12-core Xeon but i don't think that will fit in the budget.

Your not very bright son.

A full tower? You don't need one. An SSD also isn't needed at that low of a budget.

I'm a first time builder and it's nice to have room.

ALSO: Please don't tell me you're gonna put and R9 on a micro motherboard

You will have room in a mid sized case, and even miniatx cases, you will have room.

And why not? Why would the size of a motherboard matter?

Actually it's not worth the price increase. It's not cramped at all and very fun even for the first time. And yes, it would be fine if he did that.

Bit over your budget, but will definitely do the trick.
You can get Windows 8.1 for about $10 or $15 from /r/softwareswap, and you most likely won't need the features the "Pro" edition gives you.

Why the same motherboard as the H97 but micro? It just costs more for a smaller form factor. There is also cheaper memory and you can find a 280x for cheaper.

You're not going to get much better than this for that budget. It really isn't worth the extra money for a green case. Also, Randomness forgot an OS.

GTA V isn't even out for PC yet so you can't build a system around a game you don't know the needed specs for.

If it can run on a xbox 360, it can run just fine on a $800 PC.

They optimize it for 360, meaning they tone down a lot of stuff. Visuals ect.

What are you talking about? For 800 dollars you can max out any game at 60 frames...

@OP, like others are saying, I wouldn't recommend that case.

Apevia cases are horribly built and you shouldn't buy from them. Find one you like from Corsair, NZXT, Fractal Design, Silverstone, or Coolermaster.

Answer the questions above so we can help you more.

Please fill this out:
What is this computer going to be used for?
List what you will be doing with your computer.
What is your budget?
Include amount and currency.
Where do you live? If in the US, do you have a nearby Microcenter?
Your country lets us know what sites you can order from. If you have a nearby Microcenter they have some great in-store only deals that you can take advantage of.
What is included in the budget?
Things like the tower, the OS, peripherals and monitors.
Will you be overclocking?
Overclocking will require different hardware than a non-overclocking build so we need to know this.
Will you be reusing any parts?
If you are reusing parts list them here.
What OS do you want?
Say which OS you want or say if you already have a copy of one.
Any specific case preferences?
Size, color, etc.
Any other special features that you want in the build?
Stuff like an SSD, large hard drive, RAID, and wifi
