    requesting assistance with new PC build

    Hello,

    I was looking at upgrading my existing PC. (as in build a new one)

    was looking at the following as a possibility
    CPU - Intel Core i5-3570K
    cooler - Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
    MB - unsure - typically buy ASUS, but open to other options
    GPU - Radeon HD 7870 XT
    MEMORY - 8-16 GB of w/e typically buy corsair, but open to other options
    PSU - probably a corsair 600/750 W
    case - unsure
    SSD - havent kept up with what is good, but would like a 120 or maybe 250 GB model depending on prices.

    i already have plenty of storage disks, a keyboard, a mouse, multiple displays

    Thanks in advance.

    would like to keep this around $800 as i need to build 2x of these

    $800 is just not possible with those specs, nor is getting specific brands. This is pretty much as cheap as you can get with those specs.

    If you don't need the OS and Optical, then definitely the top one, on account of it'll cost around $800.
