Great Customer Service/Product Quality Peripheral Brands
noppy_dev replied to langtuqn2007's topic in Peripherals
From a mechanical keyboard standpoint could you add Ducky? I don't have one (Hoping on getting a Shine 3) but apparently they have great build quality and I'd like to see what the community has to say. -
Please Help, - First Time Build Budget Gaming Desktop
noppy_dev replied to elan2468's topic in New Builds and Planning
Hmmm... If you're willing to go without an SSD for a bit, you could buy a Hard Drive and spend the extra money on some better parts, and save up to get an SSD later. If you're going for an AMD CPU you could get an APU (CPU+GPU) along with an AMD Video Card so you can run them in crossfire for a performance boost. -
People will probably need more information to suggest what parts you should get. Check out this thread for info on what you should put in the post: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/ Other than that, I would say you could probably cut some of the money by getting a cheaper motherboard. Motherboards don't really affect performance, so you could easily save 20 bucks by getting a cheaper one. Also, if you're willing to spend the money, I would upgrade to a 760 (it would be about 50 bucks more) Is the OS included in your budget? Edit: Grammar

I'm probably a little late for the party, but in terms of games, I would check out some of the Crysis games, Dota 2 (if you like MOBAs), and Star Citizen when it comes out

Switched to a cheaper PSU Removed SSD (I would suggest saving up for a Samsung SSD, such as an 840 Pro or an 840 EVO) Upgraded processor to an i5 I'm not sure about the ASUS 265, it was the first one that I saw on PCPartPicker, but ASUS is a pretty solid manufacturer, but make sure to look into it and at some reviews Other than that, I'm pretty sure that the price compared to the original build is pretty much the same so it should fit your budget Make sure to look at other people's advice, these are just some parts that I think should fit your needs. PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks CPU: Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($219.97 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Asus B85M-G Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($74.69 @ Amazon) Memory: G.Skill AEGIS 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory ($74.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($58.99 @ Amazon) Video Card: Asus Radeon R7 265 2GB Video Card ($172.98 @ Newegg) Case: NZXT H230 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case ($59.99 @ Newegg) Power Supply: Corsair Builder 500W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply ($44.99 @ Micro Center) Optical Drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer ($19.98 @ OutletPC) Total: $726.58 (Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

No problem, I'll make sure to keep up with this thread and offer any more advice I can give

You need to explain what you plan on doing with the build. Certain games are more intense than others, and do you want to run all things on high? Or medium? This thread might be helpful for knowing what you need to ask about: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/ Other than that, I would say the same as the others, forget the SSD for now, you can save up for one later which has more space. I made a list on PCPartPicker, it will need some editing because I'm not sure what specific parts you want: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3hiHB

GabeN save us...

Sounds fine, I personally don't really care about how much space a rig would take up. As long as you don't get a case where you can see the components inside (and you care about them looking all cool and stuff) then it really doesn't matter which mobo you get or what size you get (unless you want to do fancy stuff like SLI )

New Build after weeks of contemplating
noppy_dev replied to zolo30's topic in New Builds and Planning
If you want to lower the cost and save up for more parts (such as an Nvidia 8XX GPU), then you could probably switch for another motherboard. "Gaming" motherboards don't offer that much of a performance boost, so unless you plan on doing SLI or any other features that this board has over others, you could probably get any other one for cheaper. EDIT: I see you plan on doing overclocking and want to stick with the MOBO. My mistake, sorry
