Hi all, i am building a computer in a few days, i have all the parts ordered, it is a budget orientated build, here are the specs:
CPU:Intel Core i5 4570 LGA1150 CPU 3.2Ghz 6Mb Cache Haswell @$226.00
MOTHERBOARD:Gigabyte GA-B85M-D3H/B85 $89.00
RAM:RipJaws 2x4gb DDR3 1800mhz RAM $50.00
CASE:CoolerMaster RC370 $48.00
WIRELESS CARD:TP-LINK TL-WN881ND 300Mbps @$18.00
SSD:Kingston SSDnow SV300S37A/120G 120G SSD3 2.5 7mm @$95.00 (have a 1tb seagate from old build aswell)
PSU:SeaSonic M12II 620W 80+ PSU @$125.00
GPU:Sapphire HD 7770 $100
Optical Drive: $20
FINAL TOTAL=771
Now as you can all see it costs around 750, i would like to keep it around that the hd7770 i am putting in is from my previous build, everything else is new, apart from the old 1tb hdd i am reformatting, i was just wondering to what gpu i should add as i know the hd7770 is an entry level card that is inadequate for upcoming new releases, i am only using temporarily until i have the money to upgrade it, my question to you is what is a good mid-high level range gpu i can upgrade to as the hd7770 has outlived its lifespan, my budget is a round $150. Also the mobo i am getting has crossfire but the second pci-e slot only runs at x4, so it is pretty much useless, besides i would just rather a single powerful card that is in my budget that can be used to play games on mid-high settings for the next 2 years or so,thanks.
