[edvis88]

[edvis88]

i would like to get different case, better looking. could you help me with choices?

This would perform better. And Max out BF3, will play FC3 on Ultra easily
7850 is a little less powered card.

Mr. Sumukh

i will follow this build as for now this is the best budget build i see im a fist time buyer i also need a desktop under $700 but i have a question to you
what do you think is better ASUS Radeon 7870 2gb or GeForce GTX 660
and in term of prices of the two

Thanks!!

 

[Taeran]

Depends, the prices nowadays are pretty close. Look at benchmarks to see which does better in the games you'll play. I've heard the GTX drivers are better, but take that with a grain of salt because they are often upgraded and I've used neither of the cards.

These two cards are essentially equivalent, just research and make a choice.

Here's another case with a mail in rebate for a bit more...

could you include wireless card best for money

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

I would say you to get GTX 660.
7870 may be faster in terms of fps, about 5%.

And you can Sacrifice that much for TXAA, Adaptive V-sync & Physx.
These technologies are totally worth it.

With new Drivers, GTX 660 will even perform better
New drivers released today, 310.90

 

[edvis88]

What about wirreles internet card? Which is better?

 

[Sumukh_Bhagat]

Well, I a noob at that. :lol:
Get whichever is Cheap. Shouldn't make much difference.

Thanks Mr. Sumukh

you already said that these specs can play BF 3 and other bench marked games and my other concern is im at south east asia tropical climate do i need additional coolers and the motherboard i don't know what's the difference between 1 and the other

Nope, you'll not need Any extra Coolers.

I live in India and My CPU runs at 30C Idle and 60C Max.
I just have a Single Fan in the Case Now. But I'm thinking of adding a 200mm Blue Fan & and a Upper fan Just for the Looks
