Old Comp worth upgrading or Just buy new?

[Planets]

The link you gave me does have the sale price on it. I think I'm going to just print that out and take it up there and see where it gets me. If all fails I will get the Processors out of the way and go from there. I will check back in when I have at least them in hand.

I've had them tell me twice, over the phone, something didn't work the way it's always worked. They've had that deal forever, granted it seems to be $40 off now but still a good deal.

So I have in hand the following components:

2x I5-3570K 169.99 each

2x ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 94.99 each

and I also picked up 2x Coolmast Hyper 212 EVO 29.99 each

Add that along with the 44.96 I paid in state/city tax bringing my total to 634.90.

With these pieces in hand what/how should I adjust my original list to complete the builds? Your help is always appreciated!

Considering the MoBo was purchased for $30 less than the listed price... we're $30 over your budget per computer, which I'd say is pretty good.

There is a rebate on the GPU so you might go over budget slightly. Could get you a cheaper PSU I just included something modular which I prefer but you might not care. It's just less cable clutter and easier to work with.

Just ordered the 2 cases from Amazon (back order) for 99.98

The 2 SSD from NewEgg instead of B&H for 219.98

the 2 cd/dvd drives and the 2 Radeon 7870s for 541.96

the PC Power & cooling and Mushkin memory are still unavailable at NCIX so I am holding off on the 2 WD HDs

So far the total damage is 1496.82

I have received all the parts except those on back order: PC Power & cooling, Mushkin memory and the 2 cases from Amazon.

I can still order the 2 WD HDs from NCIX at that price but I was wondering if there are any alternate similar priced compatible items I can order instead of the on back order till indef ones I have looked at?

PSU: SeaSonic M12II 520

You can get the case at NewEgg as well but there is a shipping cost. NZXT Source 210 Elite might have same "issue". Other options (within $60+ range):

Case: Corsair 200R
Case: Antec One
Case: NZXT Tempest 410
Case: Corsair 300R

RAM: Mushkin Radioactive 8GB (2 x 4GB)
RAM: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB)
RAM: Kingston Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB)

HDD: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB @NewEgg (+ 15% off w/ promo code EMCNJJJ26, ends 1/11)
HDD: Western Digital WD Blue 1TB @Amazon
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB

The Black drive is a little more expensive but also better performing. Reason I didn't link that at first is because you got an SSD so the performance difference won't matter much.
