Hey all!
First and foremost I'd like to thank anyone who contributes to this thread as I can use all the help I can get!
Anyways I am looking for a good computer build. I will be using it to store my local Media and to stream it to my televisions via plex/chromecast. I also am looking for the computer to be able to play some recent games as, even though I am not planning to use it as a gaming machine, I may use it to play some games eventually.
I am looking to stay around $700 and need the OS to be included in that price.
Any and all thoughts are appreciated!
My thoughts on a build:
CPU: AMD FX-8320 3.5GHz 8-Core Processor ($134.99 @ NCIX US)
Motherboard: Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($87.99 @ Amazon)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($75.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($59.23 @ OutletPC)
Video Card: XFX Radeon HD 6670 1GB Video Card ($86.98 @ SuperBiiz)
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case ($83.99 @ Mwave)
Power Supply: Corsair CX 500W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply ($59.99 @ Newegg)
Optical Drive: LG UH12NS30 Blu-Ray Reader, DVD/CD Writer ($39.99 @ Newegg)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) ($97.98 @ OutletPC)
Total: $727.13
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)
