Sure, but they're all at least $90 more.
We can easily downsize on the case considering I don't really care if it's fancy. lol
That line has a good rep for air-flow, though.

Also forgot the motherboard.

$127 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157281

The Antec 900 also has a good reputation.

We can go cheaper with the case... Asmile

Also isn't that motherboard still AMD? :(

Yeah, if you want an intel chip, you'd need an intel board, too. So in that case:

But honestly, budget PCs don't get intel stuff. Adissapoint

Hmm I probably don't need a 60gb SSD do I? Since I just want it for the OS I can probably go down to 30gb?
Opinions?

by Biokinetica Fri Jun 01, 2012 1:34 am

If you go intel, you can do the ssd caching thing and it won't really matter how large the drive is. the two drives will act like one. So sure, that can save roughly $13.

This would be a brand new list. GPU took a huge hit, though.

Self-imposed budget cause I don't want to spend too much of dad's money. Though assuming my budget was bigger what would you recommend?

by **LastBlues** Fri Jun 01, 2012 3:09 am

lol I spent about 1200 on mine.

given that my gpu was 300+. crazy.

if ur budget is 800 u might have sacrifice something for low-tier.

namely ur cpu/gpu.

Bio's list is good, although i think he forgot the ram. Get 8GB since its mad cheap.

Based on the cpu Bio suggested, here are some combo deals to save you some cash.
The cpu also comes with a free blu-ray burner.

If he's gonna get a 560, then he should get the Ti version.

by Biokinetica Fri Jun 01, 2012 4:58 am

Yeah, I forgot the ram; it's $50, typically.

Found the cpu for $13 cheaper: http://www.superbiiz.com/detail.php?name=I5-3450BOX&c=CJ

Does he really need that cpu? Wouldnt an i3 be sufficient?

I kind of agree. Should get an i5 at the least.

Agreed.

As you know, BF3's pretty intense on the physics. Having four discrete cores is better than two with hyperthreading. It depends on what resolution he's playing on, but it's better to be safe than sorry.

What do you guys make of this?

Any suggestions to change, upgrade,downgrade whatever to the list? All seem compatible?

I'll tell you right away, drop the Seagate drive, they're awful.

Pay the extra money for a Western Digital. It's well worth it.

by Revy Sun Jun 03, 2012 5:03 pm

I thought you had a smaller budget?

Lol, looks good, im fucking jealous of that 670 you're getting.

You should get ram with a 1600 speed instead. Its like a $3 difference.

I think the gtx 670 is a good deal, just got mine from the mail today.

I dont think the 690 will drop a lot, alteast not more than 100 euros.
My new pc below, only have the GPU atm, ordering the other stuff on monday.

Code:: CPU Intel Core i5-3570k MOBO ASUS P8Z77-V LE CPU C Thermalright True Spirit 120 RAM 8GB Corsair Vengeance 1,600MHz LOW PROFILE / Volt VGA Asus GTX670-DC2T-2GD5 PSU Sea Sonic m12II-620Bronze HDD1 Crucial m4 128GB (already owned) HDD2 Seagate Barracuda, 2TB 7200rpm 64mb CASE Fractal Design Define R3

Is seagate that bad? Western digital has alot of bad reviews just like the seagate. Any HDD recommendations? Never really bought a HDD.

by Biokinetica Sun Jun 10, 2012 4:22 am

I'd get the Thermalright True Spirit for the cooler. Much cheaper and not as bulky while giving the same cooling power. I wish they had this thing when I bought my cooler. It was twice the price and doesn't really do any better. Also found your PSU for a dollar cheaper than newegg. Adur
