Ok I found a slightly different pack that just has a 4570 (not k). Not a huge deal, also comes with a shitty psu but I found a good 750 watt corsair for $65 I will put in it. Also upgraded to the gtx 660 per suggestions (id rather put the other money towards a solid state than a higher yet card). 120 gb solid state drive. Total cost of about $900.
The $50 over budget isnt a huge deal...ill just have to lower my fun budget by a couple bucks a month.
To those suggesting amd, I was heavily considering it but Ive had bad experiences when installing amd units at workplaces and them not remaining "futureproof" despite having same benchmarks as the similar intels that I have installed.
Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.
