So i just started getting into computers a few days ago and need some help with this build i have which will e mainly for gaming.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor - $197.99
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus 76.8 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler - $24.98
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77-HD3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard - $69.99
Memory: Crucial Ballistix 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory - $64.99
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Black 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive - $71.98
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card - $169.99
Case: NZXT NZXT H230 White ATX Mid Tower ATX Mid Tower Case - $46
Power Supply: Corsair CX 430W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply - $29.99
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer - $16.99
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit) - $89.99
Total: around $783
I am so far ok with this build, but i would prefer around a $700-$750 system since i will have to help pay for a little bit of it. Also dont plan on overclocking or anything. Anyway, my first thought was to downgrade maybe my CPU to an AMD to maybe get it a little bit cheaper but then i would also need ideas on a motherboard, but it doesnt necessarily have to be cheaper, if i can get something worth the extra $50-$100, ill take it.
Basically any opinions to make it better, thanks.
Edit : this is my try at an amd pc wth an ssd. any opinions on either is appreciated.
