Gaming pc from 800-900 dollars request!

Last response: in Systems
Share

Hello, it's my first time posting a thread in this forums and I think this is a nice community. :) 

Basicaly, I'm in thoughts of getting a new desktop. I currently have a shitty laptop and I don't know much about desktops. The main reason I want it is for gaming. I'd really appreciate if someone could make a build and check prices (including shipping to Cyprus). My budget it around $800 to $900. Don't include OS, keyboard, mouse and monitor in the build. :) 

Approximate Purchase Date: I'm making some research before I purchase it, so it could take 2-3 weeks.

Budget Range: As I already said, $800-$900.

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming>Watching HD Movies>Surfing the Internet

Are you buying a monitor: No, I already have one.

Do you need to buy OS: No, don't need to buy one.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com I guess? Despite the fact that I've never ordered anything from there before.

Location: Limassol, Cyprus (Greek island)

Parts Preferences: None

Overclocking: I don't really know what overclocking is, but I won't game for more than 6 hours straight I guess.

SLI or Crossfire: What's that? :o 

Your Monitor Resolution: I'll get a monitor later actually.

Additional Comments: Would prefer a small case, that doesn't take up much spaec.

I can't help you when it comes to shipping, but I will assume it is a lot. Therefore I will make this a $700 build for now. First thing is I would suggest:

-i5-3330 $190

-Sapphire 7950 $300

-ASROCK Motherboard $52
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

That should leave enough room for RAM (get 2x4gb), a psu, disc drive, PSU, HDD, and a Case. Find those things and add up the whole price (including shippping) and I will help you from there.

Overclocking is forcing a higher Ghz/voltage for your CPU/GPU/RAM to increase performance.
SLI/Crossfire is multiple GPUs together.

@above poster why not i5-3450?


I didn't see it on newegg lol. It's $5 more and honestly I say you go cheapest i5 or best. No reason to screw around in the middle. However there is a deal on newegg now for $15 off, so get that one!!!

Well, this seems legit. Can anyone else confirm if this is a good build or not? Or if I should add, change something?
Gaming Expert

In general, with that range of cards, Radeon can be considered better value, overall. However, nVidia perform particularly well in a lot of the most popular games, like BF3. It really is a case of looking at benchmarks, to judge which is best, for the games YOU particularly want to play.

http://pcpartpicker.com/user/SmittyMIZ/saved/1MrO This is a non-overclocked build that I'm gonna build. The i5-3350p is a great and efficient quad-core processor if you aren't going to overclock, and paired with the H77m motherboard you are going to save quite a bit of money. This will allow you to get a Radeon 7950 which is pretty beastly and you can overclock quite well without increasing voltage. The case is great for the price.
