Approximate Purchase Date: next week 4/28- 4-30
Budget Range: 600 may be flexible hoping to get a 700-750 budget before rebates
System Usage from Most to Least Important:
Gaming for the most part, BF4, Titanfall, Elder scrolls online, DayZ, Starcraft2 (primary)
Location: Hawaii
He's already purchased the http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139048 ] CORSAIR CXM series CX600M 600W [/url] PSU, Wont need an optical Drive as ill be supplying an old DVD burner, Keyboard and Mouse will be upgraded later. They'll also be using a 22' Vizio (1080p) as their monitor.
I prefer intel over AMD for Cpus (personal bad experiences years ago) i'd also like good value for performance on the GPU also no personal preference here and obviously Windows 7>8 or whatever, the person receiving this computer will likely come back to me with future problems as they don't know much about computers outside of gaming so they don't really computer problems on their own (last computer fried on them heh)
Likely will be using newegg for everything except for the Case which will likely come from amazon, Shipping a case alone from newegg costs 40-55$ heh but i have free shipping on shoprunner for everything else. kind of annoys me that newegg doesnt let shoprunner users (from hawaii at least) use free ship on desktop cases
If anyone from hawaii on these forums have suggestions on where to get desktop cases with reasonable or great please tell me lol
So i need to figure out the following: CPU, MoBo, GPU, Memory, HD/SSD, OS, Case.
My Current list:
■ Intel Core i5-4570 Currently $189 w/ Promo Code
■ Seagate Hybrid Drive 1 TB 79 w/ Code
■ GTX 760 or R9 270/280 (havent read into cards since the 7870/660 days heh)
■ need suggestions on motherboard
■ http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231519 ] G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB 2133 72$ [/url] or Open to suggestions
■ Windows 7 99$
■ no preference on the case atm, since he hasn't looked at any yet + depends on what kind of motherboard is chosen.
as it stands without the case, motherboard and GPU everything costs a little over 440, obviously projected to go over the original 600 Budget heh, i did suggest he wait for another paycheck but he wants to get back into PC gaming asap.
