its been awhile since i asked the community, but you guys always helped me when i was stuck.
so i built a budget gaming desktop few month back,
AMD FX-8120 CPU
-ASRock 970 EXTREME3 AM3+ Motherboard with SATA3 6gb/s
-OCZ 700W PSU (80 plus certified) Modular PSU
-8 GB of DDR3 1600Mhz Memory (4 x 2 GB)
-Radeon HD 6850 Video Card
-1 TB Hard Drive 7200 RPM
-CD/DVD multi combo burner Drive
-Sentey Optimus Extreme Case (Red LEDs)
-LED fans - 120mm Front, 180mm Side, 120mm Top (Rear 120mm plain)
managed this setup with $670.
and now i have got some money for few potential updates.
only thing that concerns me is my power supply, im not so sure if it can handle another 6850, or possibly bit faster card like 6870 or so on.
i came to current setup with help of very helpful people on the forums, but i cant exactly calculate current power usage.
so possible update to this set up is additional SSD for primary games and the OS and/or another ATI HD6850 card (so thats 2 in total) or 1 better graphics card.
thanks in advance
