Cheap gaming PC < / =$600.00

[darylsantiago]

Hi guys, i am currently building a new rig for some casual gaming.
I'm not sure on the exact price since i don't live in the US and have no way of ordering online so i just converted the price from 26,000 PhP to USD which is around $604 but i'm guessing prices there would be lower for these components.

Will this be good enough for games like diablo 3 and the witcher 2 at medium to max settings?

Processor: i5 2320
Motherboard: GIGABYTE H61M-S2-B3 LGA-1155
Memory: Team elite 4GB 1333MHZ with heatsink x2
Hard Drive: WD 500g caviar blue sata 3
Graphics Card: Palit GTX 550 Ti
Power Supply: HEC Cougar RS 550 Watts
Case: ANTEC DF-35

or

22,000 PhP ($511)

AMD LLANO A8-3670
Gigabyte GA-a75M
Team elite 4GB 1333MHZ with heatsink x2
WD 500g caviar blue sata 3
HD 6670 (not sure but does this crossfire with LLANO 3670?)
HEC Cougar RS 550 Watts
ANTEC DF-35

The first build is pretty good, but I'd try and upgrade the GPU just a bit, at least to a HD6800 series. The PSU is horrific though, please don't buy that.

As for the second build, yeah the 6670 will crossfire with the Llano, but if you could upgrade the GPU on the first build just a bit it's going to be a lot more powerful.

i really don't have enough left to spare to get ha higher GPU. Upgrading to a 6850 would set me back $50.00 more. for the power supply will a corsair 550 vx do? it's around the same price as the HEC Cougar.

BTW i don't plan on any upgrade path, i plan to just squeeze out as much as i can and replace the whole unit in 3 to 4 years.

Even the 6790 is better.

Yup, I agree the 6790 would be better.
