Best 2000-2500 dollar gaming computer? Please fast answer

Axzevos · Jul 13, 2013

So whats the best 2000 dollar gaming computer I can get?
This is what I've been thinking on, but is it good?

Specs:
Corsair TX 850W PSU
Intel Core i5-4670K
MSI Z87-G45 Gaming, Socket-1150
Cooler Master Seidon 120M Kjøler
Crucial DDR3 BallistiX Sport 16GB KIT
Gainward GeForce GTX 780 3GB PhysX CUDA
Kingston SSDNow V300 120GB
WD desktop blue 1TB

So thats it. Is it something I should change to make my computer even better for gaming?
I'am maybe gonna sli later so is 850w psu enough?

Looks good. Psu should be fine for sli in the future.

I'd avoid the TX850. The fan profile is way too aggressive. I've owned a Seasonic M12II 850W (Which has the same internals, and fan, except the M12ii is semi modular), and it was the loudest item in my system. I bought it for $175 and ended up selling it for $50 and 4 noctua fans. Worst purchase I've ever made.

Everything seems good. If you're looking to absolutely destroy games, the 780 is good for it, but from a value point, its pretty expensive. I'd say you'd be happier grabbing two of those 7970's which occasionally go on special for $300 (The Dual X 7970 has hit $305 in the past weeks from newegg). Other than that, you have a pretty balling system. May I ask what case you are getting?

+1 on the graphics cards. Corsair have actually used the TX850 name for several PSUs. I have one myself (non-Seasonic) and it's pretty quiet. You could check model number:

I think mine is one of the CWT units.

sam_p_lay :

Yeah they have. The one I am talking about is the TX850 V2, which is the only worthwhile one to buy.

JJ1217 :

It's worth buying yet you also just said to avoid it? Mine is quiet and has been running almost three years now. I don't have any complaints with it.

JJ1217 :

I've heard that crossfire is broken. But is XFX ProSeries XXX Edition 850W PSU better instead of corsair 850w?
