hi guys, i'm building a new budget gaming pc and need opinions
i'll write my choices and the alternatives available on local market
CPU: Core i3-2120
Mobo: Asrock H61M-DGS ( sata 3 is useless for me and i can live without usb3 )
Alternatives:
Asrock H61M-HVS ( which has HDMI port instead of DGS's DVI port and has VIA audio codec insted of DGS's Realtek 662 )
Ram: 2 x G.skill 4GB DDR3 1333 CL9
Alternatives:
Patroit 4Gb DDR3 1333 CL9
Kingston 4Gb DDR3 1333 CL9
HDD: i'll use my current one
GPU: i'll use my current one which is HD 5450
Case: Thermaltake V3 Black Edition + 450w PSU ( heard bad things about this included PSU but i think it'll do the job )
Alternatives:
Thermaltake Commander MS-I Mid Tower
NZXT Beta Evo
Cooler Master Elite 310
and some more bad-looking cases
my current pc has 1GB Ram, celeron D 3.06 ( which is driving me crazy ) and the HD 5450 ( which i bought after the build-in 950 GMA drove me crazy
my default resolution for most games is 1152 x 864 and i don't mind playing on 1024 x 768
and i don't need more than stable 30 FPS on high settings
Future Upgrade might be GTS 450 or same-price ATi
i might get a new 20" LCD Monitor ( i'm doing fine with my 17" CRT )
i might also get a bigger HDD
i spent alot of time reading reviews for each component
so, what do you think ? thanks
