500$ gaming pc

MrMaskedShadow · Jul 22, 2014

Currently I am looking for a gaming pc for around 500$, but it can be higher it just has to be under 600$. I already have the OS keyboard mouse and monitor . I would like to record a few games such as minecraft Bioshock infinite cod bf3 etc. at somewhat okay settings. I also need a wifi adapter because my router will not work in my room.

Not sure about WiFi adapters, so I just chose a PCI x1 one.

The initial cost is $620.88 with $40.00 mail-in rebates.

What resolution is your monitor?

How much gameplay do you plan to record?

LucoTF :

PC partpicker says it:

"Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler and Corsair SPEC-01 RED ATX Mid Tower Case are not compatible."

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/cCLBGX - click the link at the bottom and report it as incorrect, the world deserves to know

LucoTF :

no wonder ive been hearing that lol, i will report it. for the record the best way to check is through the manufacturer of the cooler and the case to run the specs alongisde (in regard to CPU cooler height and GPU length). The Hyper 212 is really 159mm. interestingly enough the corsair website reports max coolers of 150 mm when i think its much closer to 160 or 161mm. so most likely a typo from Corsair.

That's clearly blue and not red, I call shenanigans!

Is that an asus direct cuii I see?

Beezy · Jul 22, 2014

LucoTF :

tiny voices · Jul 22, 2014

Do you like the Asus DC2? My girlfriend's has all kinds of issues.

Beezy · Jul 22, 2014

tiny voices :

no issues for me, what kinds does she have? plus i have the V2 version of the card, which might address issues with the original?

Hers came bent from the factory and one of the fans clicks relatively loud.

Hers is the V2 version as well.

Beezy · Jul 22, 2014

tiny voices :

oy that really sucks :/

LucoTF · Jul 22, 2014

I have a DCUii gtx 670 and I love it, no issues at all

tiny voices · Jul 22, 2014

I guess i'm the minority here who prefers blower cards.
