SKIP TO THE THIRD POST

I'm looking to spend $500-$600 building a gaming pc that can play 95% of new games for the next 3 years at a good frame rate. Let me know what you guys suggest. Here is my current idea for $530:

Please let me know if there is anything wrong with this setup as I feel like I have hit the jackpot.

If you want Intel.. go find a core i3-2100k (best gaming for that price) Shop microcenter if possible and then find a H67 for around 70-80$. The build I suggested is around 550 and is AM3+ backward compatible with AM3 and ready for bulldozer The GPU is a 6770 you can spend more and get a 6850 for around 130 after MIR. I don't recommend sli since it can become a hassle lol.

 

[manu 11]

in reply two your second post, the mobo you have chosen is a am2+ which is surely not intel, and you have chosen an i5 2500k which supports h61,h67 and p67 and z68 mobos.
you can go with this cheap alternative if you want sli and xfire
MSI P67A-G45 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

else looks fine

 

[noname2020x]

cool... thoughts on my third post?

 

[aznshinobi]

I disagree with the 1st build you put together and the 3rd one. Mainly because the 470 runs hot and consumes lots of power and you don't have the right motherboard.
Manu did respond to your post. He told you that you were using the wrong MB.

Please fill this out to better help us help you.

As far as builds concern, you can check out my $550 build here.

Instead of getting the cards I recommend, swap the card for a 560 Ti that should bring you to a total of about $590.

[noname2020x]

what is wrong with the motherboard? I agree with the 560ti.

 

[aznshinobi]

X58 + 1155 CPU? I don't think that works.
(I know it doesn't work)
Can you list by name all the parts you want? It's a huge annoyance to have to click every link.
Can you also PLEASE fill out the link I gave you in my post?

 

[jaguarskx]

I would like to help you out. But I don't want to blindly click on a link to figure out which link is for which part.

As suggested above, you should fill out the following new build template:

http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advice


Or at least label your links like wintermint has done.

 

[noname2020x]

The effort it has taken all of you to write that you don't want to click on the links is above the effort it takes to actually do it. Why is it that everyone acts like clicking on 5 links is like moving the stone henge.

 

[wintermint]

It's easier if you identify the parts for us so we can look for better alternative instead of having to go through every link just to see what they are. It's a little extra effort but you're the one coming here for help so may as well make it easier for us to help you.

 

[aznshinobi]

If you don't want to put the effort in to get help. Then there is no point for us to help you. Now is there?
