Hi all,
A little background first. I am not a crazy gamer, but I like games (Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, Battlefield 3...). I would like a gaming PC that can run games on high settings. I created a configuration by reading reviews on a certain components. I am using the newegg as my supplier for all components because I will pay for this system in a 6 monthly payments.
Here is the list:
Processor: AMD FX-8350 Vishera 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) $180 (sale ends 5/6)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 AM3+ $130 (after rebate $10)
Graphics Card: SAPPHIRE 100358L Radeon HD 7770 $100 (after rebate $15)
Computer Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 912 $60 (free Far Cry 3)
Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750G GOLD $142 (with shipping)
Hard Drive: ADATA XPG SX900 ASX900S3-64GM-C 2.5" 64GB $70
Monitor: ASUS VG248QE Black 24" 144Hz 1ms $270
RAM Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9B $77
Thermal Compound: ARCTIC MX-2 (4g) Carbon-Based Thermal Compound $7
TOTAL: $1036
Now,
1. I am planing to buy just this SSD 64GB mainly for OS, programs and games. I am planing to buy an additional HDD in future.
2. I am thinking about buying additional graphics card when I pay this off. So, I am considering SLI/CrossFire in future.
3. I will probably buy some nice cooling system after I pay this off.
Finally, here are the questions:
What do you think about this config?
What would you add/change?
Also, keep in mind that I could go up to $1200 MAX for the configuration, but I am trying to keep it as low as possible.
Thank you all for the help in advance!
Cheers
