Hello everyone, I'm looking to build a new computer. After consulting with a friend of mine and doing a lot of online research (forums, reviews, benchmarks, etc.), I have come up with following build:
MoBo: Asus P8H61-M LE/USB3
CPU: Intel Core i3 2100
GPU: XFX Radeon HD 6670 1GB DDR3
HDD: Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB
RAM: Mushkin SilverLine Stiletto 1333 MHz 2x2GB DDR or G.Skill Ripjaws 1333 MHz 4GB DDR3
PSU: Corsair CX430
The computer will be used mainly for college, surfing, media and some gaming here and there. I'm not looking to get maximum FPS with high details in new games, just so we're clear on that. I usually play games like Team Fortress 2, Killing Floor, Left 4 Dead 2... Also, I'm on a budget and please note that computer parts are more expensive in my country than the prices you can get on NewEgg and similar sites. Not to mention NewEgg doesn't ship to Europe (even if it did, there would be shipping fee and customs duty).
I would like to hear your opinions on this build. Main questions are... Which RAM should I get, Mushkin or G.Skill? Is XFX good or should I go for something like Sapphire or VTX3D? Is PSU good?
Thanks for help.
Cheers.
