Budget build $530 with 7850?

[darksnake23]

Hello im trying to make a build right now but i was wondering if anyone could make me a build with a 7850 that is $530 or less? I dont need an os or a monitor. just the tower and the parts for that. i want to be able to run Battlefield 3 on high. that way i know i can run a lot of other games. If you cannot make a computer with a 7850 for $530 can you please make another one that will be able to run games really well and has everything come with it that i will need for install?

psu

ram

there might be a small bottleneck, but either way you get a ton of GPU horsepower

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/DAv2 This build is only going to cost me a clean 500. What do you guys think and would there be any compatibility problems? or any problems in general? and what games could i possibly play?

 

[TheBigTroll]

it will play medium high. mine will be at ultra

 

[darksnake23]

yes but i could switch yours around so that i have the 7850 and a better cpu couldnt i?

 

[darksnake23]

I want to order the parts for what ever build i get tonight. I really need as much input as I can get from other users.

Check out these benchmarks.

The $500 g860 rig has a GTX 560 so you will get a bit better performance with 7850. Then, you could upgrade to an i5. I like going with AMD for budget builds, but it is not worth it in order to get the 7850 (which has a big performance boost over the 7770).

Hi, no incompatibilities or any problems with the parts listed above, the case doesn't have a front panel USB 3.0 ports but 2.0, which won't mean anything to you, the motherboard has usb ports 3.0 ports in the back.
The 7850 offers two games, so grab it

 

[TheBigTroll]

yes but i could switch yours around so that i have the 7850 and a better cpu couldnt i?

in the end i still get more fps than whatever you can muster on a i3 and 7850 build

 

[darksnake23]

and cball what about the 560? i saw benchmarks that suggested the 7850 was better? so should i ditch the 560 or go stay with it?

 

[TheBigTroll]

the 7850 is better than the 560.

 

[darksnake23]

oh ok.

Hi, change the psu for antec or xfx, rosewill stallion is not a good psu, green line or other are good ones, but stay away from stallion.
That asus 7850 isn't at that price, get one with 2GB ram.
It seems you can get the cpu and psu cheaper in ncix us, so you better get those there :

You might change the hdd for the wd caviar blue for just 2$ more : http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=74462&vpn=WD10EZEX&manufacture=Western%20Digital%20WD&promoid=1139

That will shave some

 

[darksnake23]

how much will that come too?

 

[darksnake23]

ug its so hard to choose!!! and i need to tonight.

 

[properbuilds]

Hi, it will come less than 530$, if the i3 is 10$ cheaper in ncix us and the psu less 9$, the hdd for more 2$, still is less than 530$.

 

[darksnake23]

is there anything we could do to the i3 build to drop price just a little?
I would really like that build but its like 10 to 20 dollars over because i still might need an adapter or other cables.

 

[darksnake23]

if so could you please post the build because i would love an inexpensive i3 build with the 7850... please

[darksnake23]

how fast do they send products? and would it not be better to go with newegg for the card considering i would get 2 games?

 

[properbuilds]

Hi, ncix us offers the games in question, and the card is cheaper there, you'll have free shipping on the items, since the total parts will be more than 100$.
From the site it says : "Usually ships in 1-2 business days."

 

[darksnake23]

also will it come with all of the cords i will need along with everything being compatible?

 

[properbuilds]

Hi, the motherboard has two sata cables, the psu has all the cables needed, you don't need additional cords.
