Hey guys,
So yeah I have finally decided to build my own PC gaming build after losing my laptop due to overheating lol.
I live in dubai, so I THINK ill have to ship everything from outside (unless I ask for the parts here and they are cheaper from outside with the shipping).
I am basically not a HARDCORE gamer, just an average gamer that plays WoW/Dota2 and willing to play some high graphics games when I get the upgrade!
Your experience will be of great help!
thanks in advance
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: Hopefully this summer
Budget Range: Approx 1300$
System Usage from Most to Least Important:: Mostly gaming and maybe casually surfing etc. Want it to last atleast 2 years with high graphics (dont have to be the HIGHEST)
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, but the price isnt included in the 1300$, if you gus can tell me good monitors that can I can get with the build you offer me it would be great! (just dont include it in the 1300 price)
Parts to Upgrade: Everything, I want a completely new system!
Do you need to buy OS: No.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts:Nothing I particularly prefer since there is a great chance that i'll have to ship it
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates.. Unfortunately there arent great places to shop for parts here.
Parts Preferences:Well I dont think I prefer anything!
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Dont think so, considering my budget
Your Monitor Resolution: Well I am certainly upgrading my monitor, the monitor I have now is quiet old. (1680x1050 running with 9400 GT)
Additional Comments: Im not looking for a really good computer, just one that will satisfy my simple needs. I will be upgrading ofcourse in the future hopefully but I just want something that can do good in the next 2 years!
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: As stated, my laptop burned after I rammed it with gaming 24/7 LOL.
Thanks guys! Really appreciated!<3
So I got a response a while ago from a kind user and he suggested this build:
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ Microcenter)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($29.98 @ Outlet PC)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($114.99 @ NCIX US)
Memory: G.Skill Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($63.00 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 840 Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($93.99 @ Adorama)
Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($64.99 @ NCIX US)
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7950 3GB Video Card ($274.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case ($89.99 @ Microcenter)
Power Supply: XFX 550W 80 PLUS Bronze Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($45.99 @ NCIX US)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) ($89.98 @ Outlet PC)
Total: $1057.88
Personally, I think 1TB for me is TOO much. So I think 500GB will be MORE than enough. You can notice that the price is under my budget so I was hoping someone could squeeze the last dollars into a better Video card perhaps? or give me a totally new build for my budget that can knock the suggested build in gaming!
Plus I dont need an OS, so you can give me a build without the OS price included!
Thanks guys, your experience is well appreciated.
If this affects the prices anyhow, I am buy 3 systems (maybe I can get discount or something).

And yes it is, two-way will run at 8x, 8x and three-way will run at 8x, 4x, 4x.
