Hello Everyone,
I am helping a friend who currently has a Mac build a custom gaming pc. The price range is a max of $800. I am planning on selling him my i5-3570k for $200 as part of that budget, unless a better CPU is more fit for his pc. Help is appreciated. The last build I did was for a $2300 pc so I'm out of my zone in this price range. At the bottom are my thoughts on some parts so far. I'l add as I go along.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the month
Budget Range: Max $800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming
Are you buying a monitor: Yes
Parts to Upgrade:
Do you need to buy OS: No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com
Location: City, State/Region, Country - CT, USA
Parts Preferences: Intel, EVGA, Cooler Master, Asus, Corsair
Overclocking: Most likely not
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments:
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Using a Mac
Thoughts on parts:
i5-3570k
Cooler Master Storm Scout 2
Thank You All
