Hey guys, before anyone gets scared, I already have some HDs, an optical drive, a PSU, as well as mouse, keyboards and monitor. So my needs are RAM, CPU, MOBO and GPU.
Approximate Purchase Date: next couple of weeks.
Budget Range: 400$ (will buy it at the store, so no shipping necessary
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming and programming.
Are you buying a monitor: No
Parts to Upgrade: CPU, GPU, MOBO and RAM
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: BestBuy, but i'll take Amazon too
Location: Orlando, Florida
Parts Preferences: no preferences
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1440x900
Additional Comments: If needed I would take a cooler too, preferably quiet.
So far I just settled in buying: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8 GB (2X4 GB) PC3-12800 1600mHz DDR3 since Corsair has international warranty (my other option would be G.Skill).
Any tips towards the rest? I'm buying the parts in the USA. On CPU I liked Intel I5-4440 quite a bit, but I don't know if it's too expensive for my budget. On Mobo and GPU i'm really lost in to what is worth right now.
If it improves the build a lot I could go up the budget to 500$.
Thanks a lot to everyone, I know this post is somewhat common here, but I just wanted an updated opinion.
