I am looking to upgrade from my Athlon 64 3400+ system to actually be able to play some decent games. I am however looking to keep it as cheep as possible. I listed what I have in mind so far, if you can suggest cheaper parts or any advice at all I'd really appreciate it.
RAM: Recycled 2GB(2*1gb) DDR2 800 from previous build.
GPU: Sapphire 5770 1GB $149.00 (After MIR)
CPU: AMD Athlon II x2 240 $58.99
MoBo: MSI 790XT-G45 AM3/AM2+/AM2 AMD 790X ATX $89.99
Power Supply: OCZ OCZ600GXSSLI GameXStream 600 Watt $34.99
Case: NZXT Gamma $29.99 (After MIR)
HDD: Need a 3gb/s sata drive.
SubTotal = $362 (before tax/shipping)
So I estimate roughly $400 after tax/shipping. I would really like to drop this price down without sacrificing performance.
Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, and Ram will all be recycled from my old system. I will mainly be playing World Of Warcraft, I would love to play it on max settings. My monitors resolution is max 1280x1024 so I won't go higher than that.
