Could have saved a few bucks on PSU but this allows expansion years down the road if you wanted to pick up a used 1070 for SLI.

If I wanted to save money and don't think I'd be upgrading to SLI in the future, what do you think of :

That would be fine too, but its not as future proof.

[Fascinate]

Ya nothing wrong with that either, i just thought for your original 1100 dollar budget a 1070 would be more future proof. Honestly depends on how long you would keep the PC, im still using a PC i built in august of 2011 and the only thing ive upgraded was the video card.

Also any reason on why you chose a different motherboard? The one you selected is not a full atx board, it has weird mounting points that most cases dont support some of the hole actually wont have screws in them.

Hm, no reason and I hadn't considered that, thanks.

Its cool most people dont realize some boards arent full size ATX. The way you can tell what ones are is looking at holes on mobo, there should be 9 total 3 on top/mid/bottom. I did notice tho the back I/O of the one i linked is a little short of USB ports it only has 4, not sure if that is a big issue. Otherwise the asus 170-a is a great option for 129.99.

Nah, I don't think I'd need many more than 4. Thanks for the help, now I gotta spend some time thinking about if I wanna go with 1070 or not.
