No that one looks pretty solid, z77x ud3 and ud3h are great mobos, the only thing thats better is some other ones that are in the $130 range with good built in audio. Not sure how people make builds without the os... do they just torrent it? Maybe they just transfer it from their old computers•
Oh, and do you live near or can drive to a micro center? They have the 3570k on sale for $170-180 (believe its $175 but could be $170 or $180) and they have $50 off motherboards when you buy them with cpus. Sick deal. Also the 3770k is $230 there, so you could easily upgrade to that.

For gpu, if you buy at newegg you can find the 7850 for as cheap as even like $150-160 (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131473) and it comes with free tomb raider and bioshock infinite.
Or to spend a litte bit more you can get a 7870 for $220 ish (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150604) still with those free games. Heck, if you sold the games you could probably get a 7950 for the same price :P

Another thing you can do is use an older case and cut out the optical drive, you really never use them anymore. I just have a usb one I use on all my computers (parents, brother, and my two)

Really? How?

What if they rise up like the crate 30s did? Unlikely, but still possible. Definitely not a stable/safe investment though, I remember when I sold my strange huntsman for buds, and now its 6 keys.

Hey sal, what do you think of bitcoins?
Edit: DAMNIT PapaSmurf323 You beat me to it

Does it come with that circle around the crosshair? Those look really nice. I'd get kbn hud but I like my omp. (probalby can transfer it, but im ignorant and lazy)

What about demoknight? Mangachu with the turning scripts is pretty lethal

-8 frags. Obviously demoknight sucks all around compared to stock stickies demo but the turn scripts flat out remove the downside to the targe and charge, that you can't turn. I mean he can just turn around the corner going faster than the scout with free crits loaded for whoever he comes near. So many cheap med picks like that.

ding ding ding

So how much damage would a sticky do if its on the wall right next to you and you're right next to it, or if its right below you (that is the closest right? unless you air det it I suppose)

pics?

Hard to believe that you spent all that money when a 8350 and a 7950 overclocked will destroy it for $800-900

Phenom ii 830 (from my dell computer from 3 years ago lolz), overclocked to 3.2ghz
760g mobo
660 ti (small oc)
16gb 1600mhz ram
average 7200rpm hdd
dell shit case (so sexy)
dell pos stock keyboard
dell pos stock mouse

I've been too lazy to get a new mouse and keyboard since these ones *work*. But I'm really wishing I had the extra mouse buttons and mechanical keyboard.

Headset = sony $50 decent music headphones + shitty radioshack headset (wearing over the sony headphones so i can use the mic, lolz)

Remove heavy class

Yeah the general consensus is that that one is the best 144hz ftw

Not every i7 can be overclocked. Only the K versions. For gaming, a i5 is fine. But if you're going to do any bit of streaming or video editing I'd totally go for an FX 8320 8 core. Super good value.
Lol'd pretty hard at Goat_'s comment. "Just to make your e-penis bigger" pretty much haha. But for tf2, I've heard that overclocking the cpu can increase fps by a ton.

Why no amd cards? Oh don't tell me, he's an nvidia fanboy... Of course a mac fanboy just goes from mac to intel/nvidia. Pretty much the same stupid fanboyism. Amd gpus are faster. Period. For a $2000 build he could probably afford either, but amd is going to be much better. Is he okay with crossfire/SLI? A SLI 670/680 or a crossfire 7950/7970 would destroy, if he can afford it.

Windows 8 is actually pretty awesome, much faster all around and once you get some programs to get back the start bar, it's just all around better. Metro interface does suck though, I removed it (the tablet windows phone interface screen, with the tiles).

Spending $2000 is overkill, he could probably do fine with just a $800 build, maybe a 7870 and a 8320/990fx mobo. Unless he wants to push 120fps on crysis 3 on ultra 1080p, or go multi monitors it will be fine. My 660 can run metro 2033 at 40fps and crysis 2 at 60fps, fine by me. But an overclocked 7970 or 7950 (or 680) would probably do better.

DAMN. Lol that's intense. I need to upgrade my cpu haha, still running an old amd phenom 2.6ghz. Shows that tf2 runs mostly off the cpu also
