whats ur full budget,?


at about around 1000, to 1100. the highest is 1200 but im trying to avoid that for now, i think what i have is a pretty good set up for a little while just need a bit more advice is all, i do plan on upgrades later in the future though pretty soon after i build when my income settles down a bit more and can just buy individual parts instead of them all at once which is why i have a 1000watt PSU, but ive been thinking maybe to downgrade to a like 800watt what do you think?

i know guys i have a suckish budget right now >,< its 1000 to 1100, 1200 at the highest but im trying to avoid that number as much as i can. i just need to get my rig actually up off the ground and built then when my income settles down a bit ill be able to upgrade each individual part later on i just need to get a good rig built first off XD and i think that this is pretty good considering the budget, again as i have stated before im more than likely downgrading the PSU

If you aren't stuck on ordering from newegg, iceclock's build is pretty much exactly what I would recommend and it looks to be well under the total budget from ordering everything from newegg.


oh god yes im defientely going with iceclock's i just wanted every ship and come from the same place, but i dont mind esspecially since it makes it cheaper lol now all i need is safe steps on installing everything. oh also thank you for the comparissons on the cards! that is fantastic! and best part is ive been researching quite a bit and this build can max A TON of games including like far cry 3 and max payne 3 crysis, skyrim and lot of other rpgs and what not im a mixed gamer lol i know i have a lot of shooters up there but trust me im more of the rpg and emersive type XD
