Hello, I think this is the right place to post this. I am currently in the process of planning and building a new computer. This computer will be used for gaming, (Starcraft, League of Legends, Command and Conquer, Far Cry, maybe Battlefield 3) on medium - high settings. Im trying to keep the computer cost down to around $800.
These are the parts I currently want to buy:
CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor ($200.00)
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($51.38 @ Newegg)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($54.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 120GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($65.00)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($54.99 @ Amazon)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 960 2GB SuperSC ACX 2.0+ Video Card ($197.92 @ Amazon)
Case: Rosewill CHALLENGER ATX Mid Tower Case ($49.99 @ Amazon)
Power Supply: SeaSonic 620W 80+ Bronze Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($99.00)
Total: $773.27
Do you guys think I should change anything? I've been reading that AMD CPUs arent that bad when it comes to light gaming, normal internet surfing and stuff. So, if I go with an AMD CPU and save some money, I can maybe get a better case.
Im new so any thoughts or improvements are all welcome!
Also, are the parts Im using from good manufacturers?
-Thanks, Alex
