500$ max budget, but would like ti cheaper if possible.
My current rig is an hp oem, that has been upgraded to just be able to run the latest games.
Phenom 2 x4 840t, 12gb ram (running 1333mhz cas 10 due to slower sticks in the slots)
I already have a 750ti sc, 8gb 1866mhz cas 9 ram, and a crap Insignia 400 watt psu if needed.
Wishes:
Case: dont need expensive full featured case, just something that looks cool for cheap (Something Similar to Corsair 200r/Spec 1&2/NZXT Source 220&210, I would like a window if possible)
SSD: prefer 200+gb, no brand preference, but I always tend to lean for samsung, will take a smaller 100+gb ssd if it means much better componets elsewhere or $ savings.
HDD: 1tb WD BLue is selling for ~50$, but I see no reason to get that when 2tb Hitachi desktar drives are selling for 55$, and have lower failure rates.
Would like to play games like Planetside 2 (as I currently get only 20 fps in the insane battles with this phenom cpu, but more ram or fast storage (reason for ssd) actually improves performance a lot in this unoptimized game game)
Some notes: Will only be able to play for like 6months, as I am going into airforce for 4 years, and when I come back I would like this pc to be able to at least play newer games in 4 years, of course not on max details/settings.
