TR's July 2014 System Guide: GPU price cuts, Pentium AE, and Crucial's MX100

TechReport.com has a July 2014 system guide available.  Check it out!  I'm surprised their sweet spot hasn't yet moved to a Core i7 CPU nor beyond 8GB RAM.  For a GPU, the Sweet Spot is using the EVGA GeForce GTX 760 while the high-end build uses an XFX Radeon R9 290 Double D.

Also, if you haven't seen it, check out Alienware's funky new A51 system featuring a new triangular tower design that seeks to make it easier to access the "front" and "back" panel connectors, improve airflow, and apparently strengthen branding.  The skeptic in me would suspect there were overheating issues when they tried to use the components in a traditional tower.  Here's a video from c|net.
