HELP: I am making a Gaming PC!!

[crysisman546]

I want to build at least a Mid-Range PC without spending a fortune, and i want to know if these will work together:

XFX Radeon HD 6770 1GB GDDR5

AMD Phenom ll x4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz

Acer 20" Class LED monitor 1600x900

WD Black 1TB Desktop Hard Drive 7200RPM

8GB Corsair Vengeance Desktop Memory

Ultra LSP750 750-Watt Power Supply Unit

MSI 790FX-GD70 Motherboard

Are these Specs good? If not any recommendations? Im new to this.

looks like a decent mid-range PC, but would probably at least want a 880/890 chipset montherboard with AMD for the phenom series.

Pretty good specs. But i'm pretty sure you can get RAM made especially for the AMD black edition.

I wish i could move this to the system builder section, there alot of people have a ton of experience knowledge and imput. Comp looks good, check out toms builder marathon they are currently running on the site. Those are some of the best budget gaming PC's you can buy and you can swap stuff out as you want.

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pc-gaming-overclock-build-a-pc,3443.html looks nice to me , but also get yourself something you can grow with, what kind of budget are you working with and is gaming your only intention with the PC or more CPU intensive programs (video editing/adobe lightroom etc)?

Would this be a good motherboard for its price?

Here are my new specs. I think this is better than the previous:


Acer 20" Class LED monitor

AMD Phenom ll x4 3.4GHz Black Edition

Corsair Vengeance 8GB Desktop Memory

Ultra LSP750 750-Watt PSU

WD Black 1TB Desktop Hard Drive 7200RPM

HIS Radeon HD 7770 1GB GDDR5

MSI 970A-G46 AMD 9 Series Motherboard

Would this be better? I'll tell you now that the motherboards i tried finding were out of stock, especially the one you guys suggested to me.

thats a lot better then the thing you started with o and if you can find a 6850 for the same price of a 7770 go for it cause you sometimes find those but they aren't so common.

I found one Sapphire Radeon HD 6850 the moment i read your comment lol, but is it better than the 7770 or would the 6870 be better than both?

the 6850 is about 15% better than an 7770 and a 6870 is about 20% better you just need to watch out with the drivers than because some radeon hd 6000 series preforme less with the new drivers but if you can find a 6850/70 for about the same price as a 7770 then you better go with it

Imma go with the 6850 since i can afford it. Thanks!

P.S one last question, is there a chance that any of the parts i have chosen along with the Sapphire HD 6850 will bottleneck the card or anything else?

 

[bruniss]

No I don't think so, Phenom is a nice processor. Although my choice would be Nvidia.

 

[navjotsingh]

dont go with their saying here's my budget rig
intel core i3 3220 3.40Ghz
Sapphire hd 7770 GHZ EDITION
Corsair vengence 1600Mhz 8 GB RAM
There is no need for 750w if u'r not using crossfire feature simply get a 500w psu
ANY H77 Mobo will be fine
Get a 1080p HD Monitor it would be future proof
other things are fine

 

[eklipz330]

?? you didn't even give a budget.

nope no botllencking danger and if you wish ou could ad an hyper 212 evo and overclokc the cpu in the future

first a 6850 is a bit better than a 7770 ghz edition
second the phenom is a bit better than an i3 and you can even overclock the phenom
third you didn't even give us a budget

 

[crysisman546]

nope no botllencking danger and if you wish ou could ad an hyper 212 evo and overclokc the cpu in the future

I don't overclock nor do i want to know how. I want my hardware to last me as long as possible.

P.S thank you for the suggestions.

 

[crysisman546]

?? you didn't even give a budget.

I have at least $700, but it's fine though, i don't need help anymore.

you still have some money left if you want it you could even put an really powerful sapphire radeon 78502gb (preformce the same as an 6950) version it is worth every single $

It's fine. Im already set.

Now you made me curious XD i thought i was set but coming back here and reading the comments again made me wonder if the 7850 2gb was compatible with the Phenom ll x4 965 and the motherboard which is an MSI 970A-G46 AMD 9 Series Motherboard.

Here is the link to the motherboard if you were curious:

One last question, Is it really a good graphics card that can run Crysis 3 (not at max, im not that much of a graphics person) or even the first crysis at good or decent Frames?

Also is there any Heatsinks you would recommend me?
