Why does it change so fast?

[Robochan]

My vaio is not working for games and id like to start a build for about $600. I thought about buying used and adding to it but this market seems to change soooo fast i can not find anything. Also i do not know if i should wait for something that is gonna make me kick myself for buying a week early.


System Usage from Most to Least Important: Games like DIRT 3, IRACING, WOW, Minecraft and all racing games that catch my eye. No crisis or metro

Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, HARD DRIVE

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com seems to beat out micro center because of tax

Country: USA

Parts Preferences:None

Overclocking: Sure in the future

SLI or Crossfire: Sure

Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080 maybe 3 of them

Additional Comments: Need WIFI and the $600 should get me going on games for now but i plan on running triple 1080 screens. Later i would like to add more ram and a SSD. Later when the triple screen time comes i could do SLI and some overclocking.

Here is what i have come up with but anything can change. With shipping it comes to $606.94

You dont need a 750 watt psu . 500 watt will be plenty

The Asrock 970 gen4 motherboard costs a little more but it can crossfire and SLI . Its the only 970chipset board that can do that properly since its the only one that can run the pci-e slots at x8/ x8 in stead of x16/ x4

Your RAm wont work with an FX processor . You need RAM that is 1.5 volt or less
