What do you think about these minor tweaks? I’d probably grab a slightly better motherboard (if it actually is better) and this 2GB card instead... and expand to $1138 🙂
Just wondering why you'd pick the Sapphire R7 260x over the 2GB version... and what's the deal with those motherboard suggestions versus the one I had in mind? I'm fine with the CPU and everything else, just need to clear this up before I pull the trigger.
Thanks 🙂
I put this build together for about $1067.
I'm planning to toss in a 500GB laptop drive, plus I have a 500GB external one, so I'll probably just grab this smaller SSD.
Let me know what you think or if you have any advice...
