Agreed on the bigger OS SDD, I have a 60GB OCZ Vertex 3; all I use it for is my OS, but I wish I had gone with the 128GB. Couldn't afford it though. Also, agreed on PSU size, you will need something bigger, at least 750. Id bump it up to 800.

I changed SSD to 128, i assume 800W PSU is enough?

Yeah, 800 should be plenty. I had a 650Watt PSU and it wasn't enough power so I spent what I could up to a 700Watt and the 50 boost was more than enough. I do want to eventually get a 1000+ Watt
 
mnyeah, im in deficit with $83 right now (budget is $1302)

Oh, you can build a damn nice computer for $1300. I'd help you out, but I haven't done any market research for computer hardware in a while so I am not up to date.
 
I would buy a bigger PSU. I have a 1000w and am running into problems of not enough power.

Wait for TcRenno to help you out, I am sure he can come up with a good build that isn't too expensive.

These people dont fucking know the meaning of not too expensive. You tell em you have 20 bucks and the first thing they point out is 300.

Haha, this man has a point... budget of $20, you MUST buy this $300 version instead! lol, good stuffs.
 
The local pricings are retarded. with the amd-s it would cost around $200 more than my original plan
