Hi All,
Am looking at building a budget rig for the sole purpose of playing DayZ as it stands currently. Have seen a few useful videos and spent a whack of time researching and would like to know where i stand with what i have currently got listed up. please see the below as i have 2 key questions.
total rig build price = £364.75
Radeon hd 7770 - £90.92 - Scan
i3 3220 - £89.00 - Amazon
MSI H61M-P31 (G3) Motherboard- £31.93 - Scan
G.Skill 8GBXL DDR3 2x4GB PC1600 - £31.96 - Amazon
Antec NSK 6582B Black Mid Tower with 430W PSU 80+ Bronze - £67.18 - Scan
Seagate barracua 7200rpm 500gb - £40.78
LiteOn ihas124 DVD RW - £12.98 - Scan
Q1. will a 430w PSU be enough to power this rig?
the second topic to bring up is i have read very mixed reviews of that mobo, and it does not support 1600mhz ram which is what i currently have in build, so my question is should i look at the MSI B75MA-E33 when i can get that for only £10 more?
it is described as a micro atx board which concerned me that i would not be able to fit all the other parts on to it?
aditionally if anyone else had a mobo reccomendation around this price that were better suited and a bit more reliable i would be happy to hear about it
thanks for any help!
