Hey guys! I'm currently building a new computer and I need some advice. My old setup is as follows:
Intel Core 2 Quad q6600 @2.4ghz
4.0 GB or 768 RAM
NVIDIA GTX 550 TI
500 GB 5400 RPM Hard Drive
All the other parts are random brands and not that important because I bought this computer as a whole.
I currently am trying to run dual monitors. 1 24inch monitor(1920x1200) and a 32 inch HDTV 1080p. I mainly play non graphic intensive games like WoW, Dota 2, League of Legends, Call of Duty, and Skyrim on the monitor and do things like watch movies/videos and listen to music and surf the web on the big screen. I made a new build with an extremely tight budget and I want to know if it will work. I want to make sure I am not overkilling anything yet I want it to be smooth because with my old setup, when I try to multitask or play the games I want to, my experience is not ideal(lag, freezes, graphics settings turned down).
Here is my new build. If there are any improvements or better things I can get, even if it is extremely minor, please explain.
CPU: Intel i3 3220 - 120$
Motherboard: P8H77-I Mini ITX - 100$
RAM: Kingston Hyper-X Blu 2x4GB 1600 - 50$
Storage: Wester Digital Cavair Blue 500 GB 7200 RPM - 55$
Power supply: Raidmax Hybrid 630 Watt - 55$
Case: Bitfenix Prodigy - 90$ (I don't really want to change this case unless a huge improvement can be made)
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GTX 550 ti (Using my old one, will probably replace with something better in the coming months)
