Gaming Build - 60 Fps on Ultra setting

Assuming a 1080p monitor, you could probably do it for about $1000-1200, depending on storage and excluding monitor and software.

Can you come up with a build for me, and can you include a moniter.

Have you been looking at anything? I hate to do ALL the work.

I'd base it around a i5-3570k, Z77 motherboard and a GTX670 or Radeon 7970.

I decided that i was going to order from one website and they dont have antec stuff or the patriot ram.

Any 8GB 1600 RAm will be fine and find a case that you like that fits the mobo.

Also just to say I know the 600W is a lot but for the price I couldnt find a 550W if u find one let us know we will see if its good or not

XFX 550W PSU

awesome Anga found one for the same price

Lookin good my friend you will be pleased

Go for the 7970 over 670. The 7970 is obviously faster and it's cheaper at $339
http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=67172&vpn=FX797ATDFC&m...

I really appreciate that you guys took the time to help me out.

is 7970 better then 670 power edition

yes. The 670 power edition is just an oc'd 670, and the 7970 can also be oc'd very easily

utterly perfect build. Nothing needs improvement. you're done.

Hi  

Get a 7990....

All the best Brett  

Hi, some people cant afford a 7990...
All the best Angad  

I was told i needed a better case for the gpu and I included a wifi card.
http://www.prisguide.no/liste/137352/simple

Yes I would advise if you can get a better case DO IT! To see such great hardware in a cheap case is sad in my eyes but hey if it cant fit in your budget we work with what we got.

My recommendation for cases:

Corsair great company love everything they do and make I currently have this Case myself
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168... - $130

here are some cheaper cases than the above one :

HAF 922 loved by many -$100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Corsair 400R -$100
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Rosewill BlackHawk -$90
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Corsair 300R - $90
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

There are many more just look around on newegg or whatever your preferred site is

What about Cooler Master Storm Enforcer?

I just listed some cases that one has good reviews too

Really good case. Nice cable management and air flow.

That BlackHawk.. I like the case a lot but mostly because the blue LED fans being such a nicer color than most but the fans suck according to the reviews ='(

EDIT: Does anyone know if there is a side panel with a bigger window that will work with the BlackHawk?
