Ok guys. Take two. Time is getting close, and I need to decide on a build. Here I present two builds, one from me and another from calguyhunk. Could you guys do me a favor and decide/edit the builds and see which one is the best?
My build:
And here is calguyhunk's build:
CPU+Mobo: $140 AMD Phenom IIX4 970+Gigabyte GA-78LMT-S2P AM3+
RAM: $32 CORSAIR XMS3 8GB
HDD: $95 Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s. I'm trying hard not to recommend 320GB drives at $100
GPU: $160 SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 6870
PSU: $65 SeaSonic S12II 520 Bronze 520W
Case: $32 COOLER MASTER Elite 370 - In your link.
TOTAL: $524 after rebates+Shipping. This will pawn any of the other proposed builds by a factor of a million to one. What's more, some amount of OC'ing comes as a bonus
Corsair, Gigabyte, Cooler Master, Sapphire, Western Digital. Don't think you're gonna better that for either FPS or reliability at the price point, I don't think
So which one is better? I'm working on a limited time frame.
Thanks!
