Hey Guys,
First time posting on this forum and I have just designed my first ever gaming rig. I am not a hardcore gamer but do enjoy playing many of the newest games and having them run very well.
Anyway this is what i came up with and would appreciate any advice possible!
CPU: Intel Core i5 3570 ($212)
mobo: ASRock H77-PRO4-MVP ($98)
RAM: Corsair Vengeance CML8GX3M2A1600C9W8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 ($69)
GPU: MSI Radeon HD7850 Twin Frozr 2GB OC ($255)
Power Supply: Corsair HX650 ($129)
Case: CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced ($99)
CPU Cooler: CoolerMaster Hyper 212 EVO ($37)
SSD: Samsung 830 Series 128GB ($127)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB ($92)
OSS: Windows 7 64bit Home Premium ($92)
First ever Gaming Rig total of $1210
(Notes: not planning to overclock anymore than what was factory overclocked on my GPU. Not currently intending to SLI in the future. Will be deciding on a 20-24" monitor for under $170 in the next couple of days.)
all opinions both negative and positive welcome =]
Thankyou!
