So much money D:

blacklex · Apr 27, 2013

The problem is that I want to have a great gaming pc for not that much money. I have my components and I want it to be around $500. I would like my games to play on a 1920x1080 on ultra at playable frames. Can someone help me change the components of this build to meet around $550 rather than the higher 500 range?

CPU: A8-5600k
Mobo: Biostar A85W (I would perfer not to change this because it comes with free ram)
GPU: Radeon HD 7850
RAM: Team 8GB (2 x 4GB) (FREE)
Case: Rosewill Blackhawk(Futureproof)
PSU: Cooler Master eXtreme power plus 500w
Storage WD Caviar Blue 500gb
DVD: LG 24x DVD Burner

Any help would be appreciated

"I would like my games to play on a 1920x1080 on ultra at playable frames." What games do you want to play? If it's almost anything made in the last year or 2, not going to happen on a $500-$550 budget. Also that cooler master power supply is libel to turn the system into a smoldering brick.

Stick with an Antec, Corsair, Seasonic or XFX psu. This one isn't too bad http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139050

Alternative: BIOSTAR TZ77B with Team 8GB (2 x 4GB)

For AMD build:
Go with BIOSTAR A960D+ with Team 8GB (2 x 4GB) with a AMD FX-4300 FX

The AMD build has no USB 3.0 or 6Gb/s sata but would provide the best performance.

slomo4sho :

^ A pretty good build. You can drop the CPU cooler since you can't overclock anyway and that saves $20. That is about as close to a good gaming computer as you will get at $500. You want to max all the new games at 1920 x 1080 add $1000 to your $500 budget.
