I'm looking at building a pc that's mostly dedicated to gaming but it will double as my school computer. I'm hoping to spend less than $800 but still be able to play, say, BF4 on par with consoles -I don't expect ultra- on a 720p monitor/tv. I will be needing the OS which I'm including in the cost at $90 (Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit). I will be building/ordering parts for this pc soon, tomorrow if it works out well. I live in Alaska/99654 - 99623 where shipping is a crime. One last thing; I will be buying the GPU later and my budget for everything else is about 500-600 dollars.
As of right now, my build looks a little like this.
Case- Cooler Master Elite 431 Plus - Mid Tower Case $50
Motherboard- ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ $80
Processor - AMD FX-6300 Vishera (i.e. Black) 3.5GHz $120 + Sims but frigging $20 shipping...
RAM- Kingston Technology HyperX 8 GB (2x4 GB Modules) 1600 MHz DDR3 Dual Channel Kit (PC3 12800) 240-Pin SDRAM $80
HDD- WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive: 3.5 Inch, 7200 RPM, SATA 6 Gb/s, 64 MB Cache $60
Drive- Asus 24x DVD-RW Serial-ATA Internal OEM Optical Drive $23
GPU- ??? R9 270X (before price jump) or gtx 660ti were ones I was looking at, but I think that puts me over. Right now I won't be purchasing the GPU. I'll be borrowing a buds for a bit. I can't afford it, but still feel free to give me ideas.
PSU- I'm thinking of either the Corsair CX Series 500 Watt Modular for $60 or the Seasonic M12II 620 BRONZE for $80 Right now I think I prefer the Corsair just for the price and the fact that the amps seem more than adequate..
Most of these things will come with free shipping. I think it'll come to maybe, $40 in shipping. As always I add the $90 for the os. This lands me at right around $600 without a GPU, but that'll come later anyway.
Any suggestions are totally welcomed. Feel free to point out anything really wrong with my build, other build ideas for this budget, or maybe include a pc that runs BF4 for $600. I wouldn't doubt it if other people were more efficient than me lol.
