All I need are those parts. I have everything else. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

I'm trying to make a cheap gaming build

Broken links.

A budget is helpful. Also refer to the link in my sig for other stuff we need to know.

I'd go with the 550, but if we had a budget, we might be able to do a whole lot better on the other parts...

That case is really expensive for what I'm guessing your budget is. Check out the Antec 300 Illusion for $55.

 

[pkgal123]

I don't need a case. Oh btw. I don't like overclocking since it messes up the cpu's life

 

[pkgal123]

K. I'll get the quad core. I never overclocked though. Is it easy? do you just go to bios and change the clock?

 

[pkgal123]

By the way. All I need is 60+ fps for games. I'm not into WoW or any of that . I play rohan, League of legends and more.

 

[pkgal123]

Btw on the amd 620, why that? there is no L3 Cache =\. Is a 3.0 ghz quadcore with no L3 better than a 3.0 ghz dual core with l3? for gaming wise

 

[MadAdmiral]

L3 cache actually matters very little compared to the L2 chace. I can't find the article right now, but there is a recent one that tests this...

 

[pkgal123]

Thanks. So the 250 regor and the 550 callisto perform pretty much at the same rate?

 

[MadAdmiral]

Not so much. Here's a comparision: http://www.tomshardware.com/charts/2009-desktop-cpu-charts/compare,1398.html?prod%5B2612%5D=on&prod%5B2613%5D=on

Most of the benchmarks have the 550 leading. The ones it's not, it's only behind by a small margin.

 

[pkgal123]

Thanks. Now i notice the video card isn't that great. I won't be playing above 1280x800 res that's all I can say. What graphics card do you recommend?

 

[pkgal123]

I was also think of using this card instead

[pkgal123]

1280x800? That is a very odd resolution.

A typical resolution for a desktop is 1280x1024. What monitor do you have?

Anything above the 4670 would be overkill for that resolution.

1280x1024 my bad. What is your definition of over kill?

 

[MadAdmiral]

As in, you're never going to be using the card to its full potential. Or at least not until you upgrade.

But I can still use it right? as in 1280x1024 res right?

yes
