Bitfenix Prodigy Gaming Build??

thebosscat007 · Jul 1, 2013

I need help with building my gaming pc. I really want to use this case specifically. I need to get my build under $600.
Here is what I have so far.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1cdUa
For my graphics card i want a gtx 760 or 7950. (it doesnt matter which one but I would prefer the 7950 cause of the free games). The other parts I have a are free to change and I can upgrade my CPU by december if need be. I have my ram and my harddrive selected under custom parts with links. and i have a flash drive listed so i can install windows. Please makesure i will not need any extra cables to purchase and that all parts will be compatible. Please help me I am only $14 short of my goal. thanks

use this motherboard instead, its a newer chipset, has build in Wifi, and supports USB 3.0 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-motherboard-gah77nwifi

im trying to reduce cost not add to it

$600 with a 7950? Can't really be done since the GPU itself is $300, and the Prodigy retails for $90. I'd suggest increasing your budget to $700 or $800 if you want something like that. That H61 motherboard is a very cheap one and won't run a i3-3225 without a BIOS update.

Theres not much point getting a GPU that good if you're still on a dual core CPU, I recommend you get a quad core cpu, and get a cheaper GPU like the 7870.
Got an AMD build that is $563.

You could easily drop to a 500W power supply. Its not like you will ever add a second video card in an ITX build. The CX500 has a coupon code today for $10 off plus $20 rebate card, making it $39.99 with free shipping at newegg.

The 600w he's already chosen is $38..

I am making two builds right now. an intel based and an amd based. Could you guys take a look at my amd build and tell me if i should just go with the amd and just forget about the intel one?
Here is the AMD one

this is going to be for next gen gaming so i wanted to make an intel and amd build to see which i could make the best for under $600

Why are you including a $6 flash drive in the build? If you want to do a $600 AMD build you're looking at something like this:

im including a usb flash drive so i can install windows off that instead of using a optical drive (i have only used a optical drive 2 times in my current pc so i find no point in getting one). I might not need a flash drive though cause i might be able to get the one out of one of my really old pc's. Did you take a look at my build though i got it at $597.20 with an fx-8350 and a 7950?

Yeah but you're missing a lot of critical components there, mainly motherboard, hard drive, and RAM - and the links on there are broken. You need to list those individually.
