Hello all,
Today is my first day on the forum and a am only 14. Normally, people would think "Oh you're only 14, don't listen to him!" and that stuff, so please don't be that guy, nobody needs a jerk. Furthermore, my future build is hoping to be about $800. I only have summer to earn this, as my grandpa's shop closes in August.
My computer parts consist of.....
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: MSI 890GXM-G65 Micro ATX AM3 Motherboard
Memory: A-Data XPG Gaming Series 8GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory
Hard Drive: A-Data XPG SX900 128GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
VideoCard: MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB Video Card - $174.98 (Hopefully Replaced)
PowerSupply: XClio 550W ATX Power Supply
Optical Drive: LG GH24NS90 DVD/CD Writer - $16.99 (May be Replaced)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB
.......Notice no case was shown, soon I will find a good one.
1) Any better CPU? For $150.
2) Better GPU? To play Battlefield 3 Ultra 1080P with Minimum 50FPS or wishfully 70-80FPS for $250?
3) Should I install BF3 on the SSD or will the HDD be fine?
Thanks in advance, and hopefully I'll get some answers....Any lastly, how would you rate this PC from 1-10 for $800-850 build?
