I'm going to build a new gaming PC soon, and I was looking for some help. I'm giving myself a budget of $700.
The only part of the build I'm certain of right now is the GTX 760 (EVGA), though I have thrown together a full build at pcpartpicker. Here it is:
http://pcpartpicker.com/user/DMB06/saved/VyTrxr
CPU - AMD FX-6300 3.5GHz 6-Core - $109.99
Motherboard - Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P ATX AM3+ - $84.99
Memory - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 - $83.99
Video Card - EVGA GeForce GTX 760 2GB - $244.50
Case - Cooler Master N400 ATX Mid Tower - $59.99
Power Supply - SeaSonic 620W ATX12V / EPS12V - $89.99
Optical Drive - Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer - $22.10
All prices are from Amazon, it totals $695. These are the only components I need (unless I can keep my MOBO, I started a thread on that in the MB section), I have the monitor, OS, etc. If you were doing a build on a 700 budget, what would you come up with? Answers will be greatly appreciated, I like learning the logic behind why certain components are better than others.
Btw, I currently have an AMD phenom II 965 black edition (x4) processor, please offer your opinion on whether or not it would be wise to keep this processor and use the savings elsewhere.
