Hey everyone
So I am building my first system for myself and I have a budget of under 1000$, even though I can and will go over it if its a significant improvement for a lower increase in price. I have already bought most of my parts and needed a processor and graphics card to complete my build. I am looking for a system that will run for day to day, plus basic gaming - GTA4, COD, maybe a few others. I am not a hardcore gamer because I mostly never have time to do so but I play when I have friends or am bored. aha
Anyways these are the parts I have already bought and ordered and are on my way to me:
Case: Zalman Z9 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case Black 3X5.25 1X3.5 5X3.5INT No PS W/ Fan Controller & Temp Display (http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=57910&promoid=1230)
PSU: Thermaltake TR2 700w Cable Management ATX12V V2.3 24PIN Power Supply With 120mm Fan (http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=75694&promoid=1230)
Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G43 ATX LGA1155 Z77 DDR3 2PCI-E16 1PCI-E1 3PCI SATA3 DVI HDMI VGA DX11 USB3.0 Motherboard (http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=69230&promoid=1360)
RAM: Corsair CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B Vengeance Blue 8GB 2X4GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 Dual Channel Memory Kit (http://ncix.ca/products/?sku=59431&promoid=1230)
SSD: Mushkin Chronos 240GB 2.5in SATA3 SandForce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive (http://www.ncix.com/products/?sku=62874&promoid=1230)
I am planning to get the i7 3770 (not unlocked) for sale at 289$ , but a friend who is doing his own build at the same time said I should go for the i5 3570k because I won't get any significant increase in performance with it.. I somehow think that the i7 would run a lot faster than the i5...
For the graphics card, I was thinking about going for a Radeon GPU mostly because in compassion to Nvidia GPU's they are much cheaper with performance on par with them. Currently I have paid 466.79 for all the parts listed above.
What do you think?
Thanks for all your input.
