So it's been a almost a year since I built my last build (which I sold to a friend). Been using my HP Envy17 for a while now. Though I'm in need of a gaming rig, cheap one that is. Last build I built was overpriced and way to powerful for my needs and I ended up regretting the whole thing.
SO not to make the same mistake again I have come to ask the genius people at Tom's HW for advice. The Computer will constantly be hooked up to my LG 46" TV-monitor which has been working great so far with my HP Envy17.
The PC will be used for gaming in general like Skyrim, BF3, SC on high graphics without jitters and ofc the normal everyday use.
Ive got some parts left over from previous builds like Mouse, Keyboard, Monitor (LG 46"), speakers, Cosmos S Chassis, 250gb storage..
So all I rreally need are the internals
what I've come up with so far:
thinking Twin Frozr 560ti/CF 6850s/GTX 570 If I can stretch this far when it comes to the money.
4gb 1600mhz (no need for any more)
2500k (planning on overclocking it ofc)
corsair h60 ( I had the h50 in my previous build, which I was extrememly satisfied with)
Mobo? No idea really, a cheap one thats OC friendly, no need for SLI or CF support. If I'm not going with CF..as stated earlier
PSU..How powerful should it be? As long as its modular and a good quality Ill take it
SSD.. The 250 gb HDD I was mentioned is one that was pulled outta my old old laptop a few years ago ( I think) thats just been hanging around. It's an
Hitachi 2.5 it's probably not the best, but I think I'd survive. I don't need much storage I already got all my files on an external network drive. But a cheap SSD would be nice to install windows on...
WinHP 64-bit OEM has to be included in the price
btw, I live in Norway, so posting specific deals from newegg and stuff like that won't mean much. Things have a difference price here,so just wan't your opinion on what I should go for and what kinda hardware would be reasonable in regards to my budget.
