Hey everyone,
As stated by the title, I want to buy a budget gaming build for anything less than $600 max $620 US.
I want it to be able to play modern games at 720p and maybe 1080p (I don't have a widescreen monitor yet), such as BF3, Skyrim, Hitman: Absolution, Planetside 2, Far Cry 3 etc...
I do like using Intel chips because of their better architecture but I don't mind the FX series of AMD processors. I am not a heavy overclocker so I probably wouldn't need to overclock by much if any at all but if it is possible I will overclock anyway.
I don't want an SSD now, I want a regular 500GB HDD, no more, no less.
[strike]AND if possible, I want to be able to add a second graphics card in SLI/Crossfire (I don't prefer either maker, just need to graphics)[/strike]
Currently I am used to a system with G31 integrated graphics so I definitely want a full upgrade. I won't need the OS, keyboard, monitor, mouse etc...
I should be getting about $600 to $650 US so I would spend some money on a good widescreen monitor, I have seen some for
I only need the HDD, Processor, Memory, Video Card, PSU and monitor (no more than 23") and case is only optional, but I have an older case I could use.
Bear in mind I am in Jamaica and I don't know if I would be able to take advantage of rebates.
Ok that is a lot of conditions, so thanks in advance for the replies!
