so here it goes.. i was planning to build a gaming rig.

im kinda short on budget. $1000 or lower coz' the money isn't mine
(will be given by my aunt LOL)

so my choice for the CPU is i5 4570.. is it a good one?
and what would be the good build around it.. and oh. one more thing the rig will also be used for after effects, photoshop and some 3d stuff.. :)

and where's the best place to buy it in canada :) winnipeg to be exact.. :)
im from the philippines so computer parts here was way too pricey

thanks in advance...

Well since you don't need Windows, hurray!

Then I can use the same GPU as his build:

In Canadian $.

It has an i7, which is IDEAL for those heavy-duting editing tasks.

Plenty RAM to speed things up and help with multi-tasking.

A neat GPU, which scales very well in SLI.

Enough storage and it's not super slow either (5400RPM).

Great and large PSU, to accomodate future SLI or CF setups if you want it.

A good-looking case; which also supports the motherboards USB 3.0.

The motherboard is also CF/SLI capable.

This would be a solid place to start from. Your future upgrades would then be:

- Another GPU for more FPS (if lacking)

- An SSD (Faster than a regular SSD and will help with boot times of whatever you put on it)

- Even bigger case, if you want more room for things like epic cooling solutions.


If you've got a copy of Windows already, say so. Then it can be subtracted. Additionally if you know you

only want to use Single GPUs, we can lower the PSU and that makes things cheaper by a little bit.

It would also be helpful if you list the games you intend on playing. This rig would play most games

very well and it's easy to upgrade.

I would go with an FX 8320 and set it to FX 8350 multiplier speed if not wanting to overclock. That way more money can be spent on better GPU. FX 83*0 will do better in multithreaded programs as well.

With a proper cooler you will be just fine. Stock coolers pretty much suck regardless of what cpu brand you buy. If my i5 rig died and I had to build a gaming rig from scratch, it would be with an FX 8320 at this point. When I bought it, the current line of FX hadn't been released yet.

Intel performs better, FPS wise in many cases. Even though it's often just 5-10FPS more than the AMD equivelant.

If you prefer to OC, his build is better suited definitely. Just remember that while you can learn a lot from OC'ing (overclocking),

it CAN (though rarely) fry or damage components. It can also be very fun. However it doesn't necessarily add any more

real performance FPS-wise to OC.

Look for a local Canada Computers, NCIX, or Tigerdirect etc... Shop around and see who has the best prices. NCIX will price match anyone and any online prices.
