drop down to an i5 and use the money saved to get a real GPU
while you are at it, get a ~$125 motherboard vs that overpriced ROG model. you are paying for flash and features youll likely never use, those funds can be put to better use - like getting a real gaming card.

I agree


The GTX 960 is kinda sub par at this point. Core i5 + GTX 970 would go much further.
