F34rTheV3n0m Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 I would suggest you build your own PC, completely custom.Don't buy a pre-made kit or bundle, make "your own kit" custom yourself using better known brands, reviews, and overall performance. Do you have a specific budget? I'll throw the best computer for the price in a wishlist on newegg for ya, then have everyone put in some input on the build and anything mention anything the think should be changed, and what to. I guess my budget would be no higher than $1200. For the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcwillzz Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 I guess my budget would be no higher than $1200. For the moment. ok, I can do it in about 30 minutes.

F34rTheV3n0m Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 It wasn't suppose to be that way, but wabbit and rumor think my cyberpower one is crap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AnonyHorse Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Heres a build i just threw together for you. Its an AMD build and the board can handle SLI when your ready to upgrade and both slots are x16 so you'll have no performance issues. http://grab.by/aYxQ Total came to $1175 Edited September 29, 2011 by AnonyHorse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredTacos Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Instead of using the combo deals, I just made a newegg cart. Click to see the list. Hard Drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148697 CPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 Case - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119227 GPU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130622 (is getting the superclocked worth it?) RAM - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231461 PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817171048 Mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131702 (read somewhere that you are required to be some kind of special fan for this? and I had trouble picking a mobo, a lot of the reviews on gigabyte and asus talked about boot looping or slot failures. Need help on this) Windows 7 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116986 Total - $1,134.92 Shipping - $12.12 Total rebates - $50 I put this kind of build in cyberpower and its like $1400 or something. It wasn't suppose to be that way, but wabbit and rumor think my cyberpower one is crap. The cyberpower one was fine, but honestly if you can build it yourself, you'll get more for the money. Your build actually looks pretty good to me, I wouldn't waste single dollar on the pre-overclocked cards. The motherboard you picked out will work well, good choice. Everything you've picked will work, anything anyone else chooses is more personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabbit Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) i still think he should go for a i5 2500k,, that AMD 6 cores is slower for gaming, He doesnt need 6 cores for gaming, The i5 2500k is same price, and way faster, much more fps. also, he can get a NZXT PHANTOM case for $120 those cases are great looking btw, does he need a sdd? is not gonna make his gaming any better. only for windows and open up programs, but his games r gonna b save on his regular hdd Edited September 29, 2011 by Wabbit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F34rTheV3n0m Posted September 29, 2011 Author Share Posted September 29, 2011 Exactly how is the i5 2500k better than lets say an AMD PHII 965 or 970? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cefdinir Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) Exactly how is the i5 2500k better than lets say an AMD PHII 965 or 970? From a pure gaming standpoint, there isn't much difference. The performance increase is mostly seen in pure computational applications (video encoding, folding, file converting, etc.). Now, what the future holds for gaming, we'll never know. http://www.guru3d.com/article/core-i5-2500k-and-core-i7-2600k-review/13 http://www.anandtech.com/show/4083/the-sandy-bridge-review-intel-core-i7-2600k-i5-2500k-core-i3-2100-tested/19 Edited September 29, 2011 by Cefdinir Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wabbit Posted September 30, 2011 Share Posted September 30, 2011 another thing, the AMD chip u r gonna get is 3 years old, the i5 is 1 yr old, if i was u, i will wait for bulldozer then, new chip new tech, same price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
