Hey forum! I would like to ask a big favor of you guys. I'm building a gaming computer and have a budget of $1,200.00. So what will this computer be used for? Well, first let me explain the reasons why I'm building a gaming PC in the first place. PC gaming is just better, graphics are better, community is better, and there is a WAY larger game variety. So, with this rig, I'm looking to be able to upgrade (easily) and advance from graphics card to another. I'm looking for a machine that is future proof until they completely redesign the concept of a computer (with upgrades obviously). So, this is what I ask. Can you give me suggestions on my list? Is there any ways I can make it cheaper? I'm at 1,700.00 and I cant go that far over budget. Thanks.
Heres the list -
EXTERIOR
-Case - Carbide Series 300R Windowed Compact PC Gaming Case =
-Speakers - Logitech Z130 =
-Monitor - LG E2242T-BN
-Keyboard - Keyboard K120 =
-Mouse - Mouse M100 =
SOFTWARE
-Windows 7 Home Edition =
INTERIOR
-Motherboard - ASUS Crosshair V Formula
-Processor - AMD AM3+ FX-8350 4.0GHz
-Video Card - EVGA 03G-P4-3668-KR GeForce GTX 660 Ti FTW+ 3gb =
-HDD - SeaGate SV35 Series ST1000VX000 1TB 7200 RPM =
-RAM - Dominator 16GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit =
-Optical drive - LITE-ON Black 18x DVD-ROM 48X CD-ROM SATA =
-WIFI Adapter - BUFFALO AirStation HighPower N150 Wireless USB =
-Power Supply - HX850 by Corsair =
-Addition fan (if needed) - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO =
TOTAL = 1,668.85
Thats WAY too expensive for me. Is there anyway I can cut the price without cutting the quality? I mean come on, I already have the cheapest case I could find. What else do I have to degrade?
Thanks for the help.
