I just bought an FM2 motherboard for $7 :wow:

Might use this as my steam machine once I'm done.

R9 270 is next once I can grab one for less than $140 :wow:

I think I may go with that new apu @Liquid suggested since I dont need a good gpu right now for games. Seems like its the cheapest move with the best results.

You stay getting some outrageously good deals. Nikka be coming in the thread like
":wow: Guys I just scored a reference GTX 690 for $200 just now."
Yeah I almost got an NZXT H2 for $17 shipped, but the seller cancelled :beli:

The 7850K is a little high at $180 tbh. If you are willing to drop that much on a CPU just give me a few...you can get a core i5 for that price, but won't be able to play games right now.

Or you can get a 750K and a $130 gpu for about $20 more and be good.

Word.. I just need to be able to do music with the pc...games wasnt the priority it was just something I might want to get into maybe later..I figure if I'm gonna drop money on a new pc I might as well get something that leaves the option open.

Not sure if you are familiar with music production but I need to be able to run VSTs like Goliath/nexus2/massive through FL studio.

My old pc was a amd phenom 830 II quad-core with a radeon HD 4200 :snoop:..had this pc for a long time but it got the job done with the music.

i7 is better for music breh. That hyper threading goes a long way. Also what audio interface do you have?
