PC Gaming System Build

[PCMan123]

Yet another thread for Gaming PC's. I am looking for some good PC components for a Gaming PC. This PC should be able to Play Hitman Absolution at Max quality/setting. I already have a case and hdd. This is what I think is good enough

exactly i dont find it necessary to buy 250GB hdd, remove it on the list, and buy gtx 660 Ti or 7870 XT whichever you like

 

[boulbox]

I would skip CPU OC and go with this.

[PCMan123]

I have a question, with the ASRock B75M-DGS Micro ATX it says
Onboard Video: depends on CPU. What does this mean? Thanks

 

[boulbox]

It means if the CPU has a intergrated GPU inside which this CPU does not have it because you will be using your GPU for the video output.

Oh thanks, I kinda a noob at this
