    70$ for a cpu and 60$ for a cpu cooler, that doesn't make sense..
    I would go for an Intel i5 cpu, AMD makes crap desktop CPU's imo.

    Why would you got for an AMD when a new generation of Intel Core came out not too long ago? (Also DDR4)
    And if you still want to go AMD and with a corsair water cooler I suggest you get a double radiator one because AMD CPUs usually have a high temperature.

    What sort of monitor setup are you running? a 4GB card might be overkill, I've got the 2GB 960 and its more than enough power for anything I've thrown at it.

    if you havent already i recommend you look into the new skylake chips and ddr4 if you like intel that is. as these chips are winning in the reviews lately (building my new system to replace my envy with skylake )
