I posted yesterday looking for advice on a possible $600 gaming rig but I was able to increase my budget to $800. I can only go to $800 before shipping and taxes so I need help on possibly reducing costs below this point.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next few weeks, whenever I feel like I am getting the best performance for my money.
Budget Range: $800 or below
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming primarily
Country: Canada
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire:No
Additional Comments: I do need to purchase a $20 50ft long Ethernet cable since I am no longer using a laptop.
My Part list
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core @$179.99
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master RR-H101-22FK-RI 30.0 CFM Sleeve Bearing @$12.94
Motherboard: MSI H61M-P31 (G3) Micro ATX LGA1155 @$47.99
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 @$61.99
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM @$59.99
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 7850 1GB @$139.99
Case: Apex PC-389-C ATX Mid Tower @$29.99
PSU: Corsair 550W ATX12V @$59.99
Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer @$18.00
OS: Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) @$97.99
Monitor: Acer G185HVb 18.5" @$89.00
Total: $797.86
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
