Need help with intel build 600 budget

schau314 · Mar 6, 2014

I need help finishing my build. I already have the case, psu, os, optical drive, ram and harddrive.

As stated i only need to buy the gpu, cpu, and motherboard. I know apparently craigslist is the plague when buying computer parts.

Hello. $600 budget for cpu, motherboard and gpu only? Whats your power supply and what sizes of motherboard can you case accomodate?

It looks okay.

Is your budget $600? If so, you can't use the i5-4670K. That'll be too expensive with a GTX 660.

Oh yeah. Sorry for the lack of info. I have already purchased the power supply, and the case for 110.I had received the ram and harddrive from an hp that i scrapped as well as the optical drive and the os. So my budget after this is around 500. I will purchase the motherboard and the cpu from microcenter for 310 dollars. I think that is fair price. I do not know how to approach the graphics card, but I have around 180 left for just the graphics card, but might be able to give another 60 or so. Do you recommend going used, i wish i could have opinions from anyone besides those who haven't ever purchased anything used for computer parts. Are there any recommendations besides going amd on the processor?

The case can accommodate a long card, and a normal atx motherboard easily.

With $600 budget cpu, mobo, and gpu, definitely recommend this. If you want a little bit cheaper, get a GTX 760 instead of the 770.

I think the i5-4670k easily trumps the 8320. I do not think I want to go amd, and I think that an i5 for 190, and a nice mobo is better than a decent amd which i will have to overclock to perform better than the i5. Also, I have a 1600 by 900 resolution monitor and an hd tv I might use with relatives for some titanfall, so I think that the extra used on a 770 will be wasted. I think a nice used 660ti for 150 is what I am going to go with. Any other suggestions, also does anyone have any experience on craigslist for buying gently used computer parts.
