I've been searching the internet for weeks now looking for the best possible parts for a $1500 dollar gaming PC, and now I think I have planned exactly what I want. Please read the build below, and if you have any further suggestions or issues feel free to leave a comment below.
Item:
Case- Corsair 400R ATX Mid Tower Case $85.00
CPU- Intel Core i7-4770K Processor $320.00
CPU Cooler-COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO $35.00
Motherboard-ASUS Z87-A LGA 1150 Intel Z87 $150.00
Video Card- AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Ram $300.00
PSU- 900 or 1000w 80 plus gold certified $100.00
Storage- WD 1TB black hd $70.00
Memory- G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) $100.00
Optical Drive- Sony AD-7740H-01 DVD writer $20.00
Monitor- 1920x1080p 24 inch monitor $150.00
Software (windows 8 and word student priced) $150.00
USB Wireless adapter $10.00
Total: $1,490.00
Extra info- Only thing I'm missing is an SSD. PC games I plan on playing next year are as follows: Titanfall, Civ 5, Total War: Rome 2, Elder Scrolls Online, Battlefield 4, Arma 3, and of course many more when the steam sales go into effect. I do plan to crossfire two AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB GPUs in the future. Do you think my performance will be affected very much by not having an SSD, and which brand makes the cheapest/best SDD? As far as the psu and monitor goes, the prices are constantly changing on those so I'm going to wait until the final few days before I order to pick specific models for those categories.
