My question to the community here......are these parts compatible? Is there something out there better or maybe is more future upgradeable than what I have listed?

I've heard crappy things about W8.1

Thanks for any comments/suggestions

*Sigh*. This is your [thread=2405706]third[/thread] [thread=2406274]thread[/thread] about this PC, isn't it?

Anyway, the PSU is too much, the RAM speed provides negligible benefit, and you should be able to afford a 290. You didn't [thread=80121]tell us if you're in the USA[/thread] or not! But if you are, here's a build that saves you $100-170 and gets you a 290:

Edit: Oh, and I think Win8.1 is a good idea, for $1 more. Just use Classic Shell or something and you should be fine.

Sorry, I know I've posted a lot about this....just having "trigger" issues

Thanks for your assistance
