You could do much better with a ~$500 budget.

$550.91 + $35 worth of MIR.

Better CPU, GPU, MOBO, and PSU.

I had to compromise on the RAM/HDD capacity but the performance and reliability difference is huge. You could always throw in more RAM / hard drives either way. The only time you should consider an AMD APU build is if you have a $350 budget or lower.


Thanks, yeah your right about the better for same price, I built one that was outstanding, with an i7 processor, but with everything it came out to over a thousand and that way outta my range.

CHECK UR PM FOR WINDOWS 7

Just wondering, why did you include an i7 2600k and not an SSD?


Since it's a high budget, you want to get for what you payed for huh? You can buy an SSD any time without the need to pay 200+ (like a new CPU) especially since the SSD prices are going down like crazy. I didn't include it because the guy wanted monitor + Gaming mouse + Gaming Keyboard + Headset. So I had to take out the SSD to include those without downgrading 2 of the main parts. So I went for the i7 2600k for "futureproof" purposes.. This guy won't need to upgrade for at least 4 - 5 years without being outdated.

I'm doing this, but you didn't actually fill out the form. It's in the OP and what I included in it is there for a reason. For instance, I have no way of knowing whether you expect a monitor or peripherals to be included in this build because there's no mention of them. Before I do anything, can you help me out and fill out the full form?

So if I want to put my gaming PC in a different room than the room my modem is in, do I need to buy and install a wifi card or something along those lines or does the motherboard already have something like that?

The motherboard im getting is this-

Really nice build for the price. $20 bucks more gets you 8GB of ram and you've got a very good upgrade path. That PSU is overkill for this rig, but the price was right and it'll handle any upgrade you want to make as 650 watts is enough for any single GPU card system. I even included an aftermarket CPU cooler with the very capable AMD 955, which should overclock like a champ. Arma II is very demanding, but the 7770 will play it very nicely with lowered settings. This graph shows it with everything maxed.

The card eats CoD for breakfast as well.
