She will not be upgrading this PC at all, overclocking IS a possibility.

If you could put in another $50 into the GPU, it'll be much better. I'd recommend a 7750, which should do fine at 1440x900.

6570 wouldn't run BF3 very well even at a low resolution, however a 7750 is much better for that.

Everything else looks solid.

EDIT: NVM Didn't realise you were going to combine 6570 with your onboard.

If you could put in another couple of bucks more, this card is even better than the 7750

yeah , She said that later on she could just grab a 6570 for like $40 and use that to boost her performance. getting a 7750 would make the budget $300.....

ASRock FM2A55M-DGS Motherboard - AMD FM2/A55: $69.30 inc. GST

AMD A6-5400K Dual Core APU: $75.00 inc. GST

The faster the RAMs you select, the better your gaming performance.


edit: This would also be the combination of choice to run dual-graphics with an HD6570

just a little over AU$200, but a bit stronger:

Hmm I think for the $18 extra it'll be worth it. Thanks.

 

[Wisecracker]

Yup.

Going with the Trinity A8-5600K APU is really the way to go -- I went with the 65w to save cash; also thinking the AsRock motherboard likely will not OC with the big boys and was a better fit with the 5600k.

I'm avoiding the Asus F2A85-M PRO FM2 A85X with the Trinity 5600k APU :lol: as there is a $195 combo on the Egg. I suspect in that combo there is 4GHz+ inside with the graphics engine at 900MHz or so.

It doesn't help the situation that a low-profile HD6570 and some ddr3 2133MHz would only add $100 or so, and I've got an OCZ SSD laying around .... might make a snappy little HTPC if it comes together ...
