Coming off from an old amd 64 x2 3800, and time for an upgrade.
I'm in a very tight budget and cant spend over $500. The pc will be used for pc gaming (first person shooting gamees) at 1900x1200 medium, high or ultra settings depends in the game, and for studio music recording editing running SONAR X2
I know some will say to go for i5 or i7 but on my research, i3 i5 i7 gaming benchmarks they all perform almost identical the ssame. and sonar are not quad core optimize. I will not do any overclocking.Theres always a future cpu upgrade.
All hardware chosen are the cheapest in price but high rating in its quality to meet my budget. This what a came up with for $480.92 with free shipping and no tax (nice). Any changes I should make,what do you guys think??
