[crowfm]

Okay, here I go. Gaming computer to play Guild Wars 2, Starcraft 2, Dota 2.

No Photoshop/Video editing/Streaming etc.

Some internet surfing, watching videos.

Don't want max-max-crazy-omg quality/resolution when playing games.
Mid-High requirement games with Mid-High resolution/graphics quality, as long as there is no lag or frame drops.

CPU - Go for an i5 3570K (It's the best processor for gaming)
Mobo - Go for a Z77 board - ASRock Z77 Extreme4
GPU - Go for the 7850 Sapphire Version - http://pricespy.co.nz/product.php?p=1355665

Everything else looks good to me.

Low budget you see... that why I had to choose an i3.... though I may change my mind.

And I wont be overclocking so i thought I should go with an H77 or B75..

Why Sapphire? Is it better than the Gigabyte?

Following those facts (No OC, Low budget)

Any other suggestions?
