Thank You for helping me squeeze even more value and save money on these 2 builds.
-I noticed the new mobo suggested for build #1 still has OC'ing abilities once a 1.40 bios update is done, which is perfect.
-Why switch to the EVGA 970 ACX 2.0 though? The ASUS STRIX costs less, and includes the 0db fan mode, does the EVGA card have that fan mode?
-Good call on using the 450W SFX PSU, i was considering it but wanted to make room for a future GPU and CPU to both be OCed, but since im limited to 1 GPU in this build, is it safe to assume that my next upgrade years down the line will be more powerful and more power efficient once there's a die shrink and a couple revisions?
-Great choice on the RAM, i was looking to have the most affordable 8GB of low-profile ram available.
-Also, good call on lowerin ghte 4790K to a 4690K, saved some bucks there too!
-You're right I don't NEED the SSD so i dropped it.
-and while i was at it, I found the ML07B from Silverstone to be cheaper than the RVZ01B.
-All-in-all Build #2's price was able to come down below my original price for build #1! and Build #1 is even more affordable now! Thanks!
