Need help building gaming rig around AMD FX-8120
Approximate Purchase Date: beginning march (after receiving tax refund
Budget Range: $500 max, cheaper the better (+$100 if needed)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming system built for SWTOR, WoW, and to include future games like Tera, Lineage eternal, Diablo 3, Guild wars 2, and various f2p mmos.
Parts Not Required: OS, DVDRom, Keyboard, CPU, Mouse, speakers, I have a 300w PSU and pretty sure ill have to upgrade that anyway.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Tigerdirect, Newegg, and Amazon
Country: US
Parts Preferences: Name brands preferred.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1600x900 or 1920x1080 (HDMI input optional)
Additional Comments: This will be used mainly for mmo gaming. i need this to play those type of games at max textures/res/settings (with aa/vsync etc and stuff like that OFF, or optional). With room for other action games like batman:ac, kingdoms of amalur reckoning. also keep in mind of upgradeability.
I'm also leaning towards the GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 for upgrades sake.
I also like the design aesthetics of the black fractal design define r3
And not afraid to ebay parts for now, to meet my needs and to keep the cost down.
I have 3 hard drives for storage, i think they are lower than 7200rpm though, so maybe a nice small boot/os drive would be good (optional)
in the end i need help with the guts of it since i already have the CPU :
motherboard
ram
gpu
psu
monitor
hdd/ssd
