How much can I squeeze out of this budget??

[mrwhosetheboss]

Hi all
I am going to build a gaming pc and am thinking of ordering the parts within a week. I am going to game on a 1080p tv at 60Hz- can anyone recommend a setup that will be able to easily max out all current games and keep me pretty futureproof? My budget is about $1200-1300

Thanks Guys!

Since you are using your tv as a monitor, i did not provide one.

That's a pretty good build but get the low profile Vengeance and swap the 570TI for a Radeon 7850. I really like the Azza Hurricane 2000, I'll recommend that on higher end builds.

Here's how I'd spend $1300 on a build:

Case: Fractal Design Arc MIDI - $99.99
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 - $104.99 ($10.00 MIR)
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD3H - $149.99
CPU: 3.30GHz Intel Core i5-2500K - $219.99
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo - $34.99
RAM: Crucial Ballistix 8GB 1600MHz 1.5V - $44.99
SSD: 64GB Crucial M4 - $84.99
HD: Samsung Ecogreen F4 2TB - $149.99
Optical: Lite On Bulk DVD Burner - $17.99
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 7850 - $320 (approximate)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit - $99.99

Total: $1,353,89 - $10.00 MIR = $1,343.89

I did not suggest the 7850 because as far as i know it is not available for another month or so. If the OP is willing to wait for it, i agree, this would be a better option.

Actually according to some sources it will drop the 19th, or next week. So I'd definitely say that's worth waiting for.

I hadn't heard that. Good to know!
