You will get much better gaming performance out of this. If you have anymore questions, feel free to ask.

 

[azeem40]

Then get the Sapphire 7850, but it won't be better.

 

[narutosteve]

is that the total after shipping,rebates?? final total?
and it looks pretty solid but it is compatible??
why pay so much for the graphic card? 300 dollars thats too much i think
i should get a 2g graphic card and a ssd or better hhd dont ya think?

 

[azeem40]

GPU is 2x more important than the CPU in gaming.

 

[hunterpostit88]

Actullay Azeem, half of that is true. Some games(usually indie games like Slender, Minecraft, etc.)relies on more of CPU power than a GPU. Let me look over your parts then I'll post back.

 

[narutosteve]

and i also wouldn't be able to play on high resolution because the monitor only supports 1920 x 1080( max resolution)

 

[narutosteve]

and is http://us.ncix.com reliable ? is it treatable ? and i just checked the i7-3570k and its sold out

 

[narutosteve]

and i have this case

This build can do a cross-fire solution. I'll do a non-crossfire build in a sec.

Ok, here's a build. I went for "budget." Feel free to increase some things if you like, but this will outperform your initial build by a considerable margin.

One tier higher than the GTX550Ti. If you'd like to increase your budget, here's a good place to do it.

Will blow the FX-4100 out of the water in games. The stock cooler will be sufficient, since it has a locked multiplier so you won't be overclocking it (except very limited BClock).

Only 4GB, but that's enough, on a budget. Double the price, double the RAM; up to you, but this should be enough for at least a few more years.

Subtotal: $505.93

The Z75 has less power phases. If he can afford it, why not get the ASRock Z77 Extreme4?

Here's a build, with no case, and a GTX 670 (In a few seconds, Azeem will be ranting on how a 670 sucks)

 

[narutosteve]

my budget is about 800-1000 and i was thinking about getting AMD to save some money but if i can stretch my money and get intel i5 2500k at least that would be better and i already have a CASE AND OS

 

[azeem40]

No, I won't, because it is pointless arguing with you.

 

[Onus]

Hmmm, I thought I added your monitor and keyboard in there too; looks like I forgot to refresh, so it will be $642. Start with mine, and move toward one of the others depending on the direction you'd like to take. You have a lot of choices if you want to add another $160. I'd probably go for a HD7850, and maybe a more solid keyboard.

Don't go with AMD (as far as the CPU goes)...not at your budget. The i5 2500k would be an excellent alternative to the 3570k. Just keep in mind, the 2500k doesn't support PCIe 3.0 or native USB 3.0. However, it does excel in overclocking ability.

 

[bctande1]

The Z75 has less power phases. If he can afford it, why not get the ASRock Z77 Extreme4?

Yes, but the AsRock counterbalances that by by using good materials in the mosfets/chokes-inductors/ and a good multi-layer PCB

It doesn't suck; there's just better options out there for the OPs budget. You can get similar performance out of an OCed HD 7950 for nearly $100 less. That money can be put elsewhere.
