So i was upgrading my old rig and talking about either building or upgrading with someone @ work... and a few people wanted to know what i could build for how much...
my thoughts were i wanted something that could handle everything that's out right now... and at least the next year with no performance issues... and if you turn down the pretty things should hold up 2-3 years w/o an upgrade needed
so.. i came up with this
pcpartpicker.com/p/MnTLYJ
(i don't know why the link shows up like that but copy pasta or click this)
-> http://
Anyway if you have any suggestions on lowering the price without hurting the performance that would be great... or improving the performance without hurting price... or if you see a bottleneck i didn't see let me know and i'll see if i can move things around a bit...
I don't want unfounded claims about one brand outdoing another because of brand loyalty...
so PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
if you make a recommendation please say why... because i'll have to go and download benchmarks in PT to compare the one i've made vs what you're suggesting before i update the actual part
reasons for parts i picked...
CPU was picked first with no preference to brand was due to the very low cost with 4 cores and over 3ghz speed
Added cheap CPU cooler because i will not be OC for them and they can choose a diff cooler and OC themselves later
The mobo was picked for being the cheapest AM3/AM3+ compatible one i could find
Memory was basically the same... cheapest price/gb that fit the board and got to 16GB total because i can't quite bring myself to say 32GB is a needed thing in a budget pc
Storage was again quite simply the cheapest SSD (i know it won't be as fast as other SSD) that i could find price/GB that covered the 256GB threshold that i want to basically give enough room for OS andseveral large load intensive games and the same goes for the 3tb second drive... basically cheapest price/GB disk out there
the video card i know always needs a ton of research and this is the card i will be upgrading to in my own build... between benchmarks reviews etc etc... this card seems like the best idea...
the case... simply put... is the cheapest thing i can shove it all into... i will reccomend they go look for a better case somethign they like the look of with some decent airflow but it *CAN* go into... that... thing...
and the PSU i know it's not needed to be that powerful but it's not that much higher in price than the others out there... and i don't want to go and try and tell them not to OC past the PSU's capabilities... i'd rather they decide on thier own how much of what to do... again i have nothing to do with OC and don't want to
a sincere THANK YOU to anyone who can be helpful and come into this without going all fanboy for one brand or another
