How does this look? I went a bit overbudget because I forgot about the OS until the last minute. I can certainly bring the price down by substituting some parts but I really think its worth the extra cost over budget. This thing wont just play GTAv, it will run it on ULTRA at great frame rates.
Let me know what you think and we can keep working here. I could also substitute for a cheaper case. This case comes with a window and is about 20 bucks cheaper, I didnt know if you wanted a window on the side of the case so I just got this once.
