Need help building a new computer

Thrasher768 · Feb 4, 2014

So I'm looking to build a new computer mostly for general use but also some gaming (world of Warcraft and such). Here is what I have so far.

Gigabyte LGA 1150 intel H81
Intel core i3-4330 dual core
WD blue 1TB 7200 RPM Sata 6 gb/s 64 MB cache
500 watt corsair psu

My question is, what video card would go well with this build and also what ram? 8gb should be enough I think. Thank you for any help!

What is your overall budget? And do you also need a copy of Windows?

Looking for around $500-$600 overall. I'll probably purchase windows 7.

Thank you so much for a quick response with great info! I'll be placing this order today and hope to have it up and running by the weekend.

Awesome, sounds good

Glad I could help. The 7770 is a great budget card, and with the hyperthreading in the i3, you'll see pretty decent general computing as well.
