Hello,
I'm building a mini-ITX gaming system. Due to heating nothing is going to be overclocked as my budget is too low for decent cooling solutions.
So far here is what I have got from our local store:
So the remaining money could be spent like this:
Option #1 Intel Core i3 3240 and Sapphire Radeon HD VaporX 7950
Option #2 Intel Core i5-3470 and CLUB3D AMD HD7870 2GB DDR5 13SERIES (or bit more expensive equivalent)
I will be playing on 1680x1050 resolution, unless current LCD monitor goes faulty and I purchase a new one. I will not be upgrading PC for another 3-4 years (besides adding some RAM and a SSD). No multiplayer games will be played. What would be the most viable option?
