Build

Dear Technology Section!
I have saved over 600$ USD and I am willing to buy part by part to build an gaming computer with my budget.
I have no knowledge at all the only thing I might have to aport is that Quad Cod is a must and must have more than 6GB of ram and as I mentioned before staying with my budget of 600USD.
PS: It can be cheaper or 150$ more.
Waiting for your builds!
Thanks

You can get a HDD from your old build and put it in the new one and get THIS SSD

 

Thanks still wanna know more builds though to have a wider range of options.

 

You're welcome.
You can change:-
GPU: 7850 1GB->7850 2GB/7870/ GTX 660.
CPU: i5 3570k->i5 2500k, which is a better overclocker..
MOBO:MSI Z77A-G41 (In the $600 option)-> Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H/ASRock Z77 Extreme4
PSU:XFX 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified -> Any other 500W+ PSU, 80 PLUS Bronze/Silver/Gold
Case: HAF 912-> Antec Three Hundred/ NZXT M59
You can get a CPU Cooler which I HIGHLY RECOMMEND because you're getting an unlocked CPU+Z77 MOBO


EDIT: In my last post, I recommended an i5 3570k, it was recommended from Microcenter, if you live near one, get it and get the MOBO from there with a -40$ Discount.
If not, add $50 or so to the total worth of the second build.

 

Ivy bridge performs better with less power consumption than sandy bridge. 5ghz is easily achievable with the 2500k but it'll still perform worse than a 3570k at around 4.2ghz. Just go with the 3570k.

For the graphics card get an HIS 7850 1gb (link). For 1080p and under you won't have a problem with 1gb video memory. It might have some performance loss in newer games in the next few years but that's expected with a $170 gpu. For this low price no other gpu is an option.

For a power supply go for a quality 500w-650w, you won't come close to using 850w of power with this build.

This totals to $608 not including tax or rebates

Thanks Killswitch

 

Man, not spamming, you basically copied my build.
Same RAM, MOBO, GPU, CPU.
Mine just has better HDD, PSU (XFX>Corsair) I just didn't include a cooler which I said he can get one.

 

I didn't copy you? Most of these parts where picked from my own thread, which you decided to make your own version of. Not going to bother arguing further but corsair is definitely better than xfx, everything on my list including the cooler is definitely the best performance for the price without cheaping out on quality..

 

I'm not trying to argue, XFX makes better PSU's but I love Corsair in everything else.
About my thread, someone asked if anyone in the Technology forum can make a thread mentioning builds at diff price points, so I did.
XFX Power supplies are made by SeaSonic, if you can argue about SeaSonic making the best power supplies.. This is not good..
Some of Corsair PSU's are made by SeaSonic too.. Not sure which.
