$600 Bitfenix Prodigy Build

[byalexandr]

I want a LAN Party rig with a white Bitfenix Prodigy. The 600 is including the OS (Windows 8) but not a monitor or other peripherals. I would prefer an AMD platform, mainly because it's better for the price to performance. Thanks in advance! Also, it can be a Prodigy M, I don't care. i just love the look and portability of the Prodigy.

EDIT: I didn't say what I am going to play on it. I want to play BF3 at Medium or even High with around 30 FPS, Far Cry 3, and other shooters and racing games.

If you can spend an extra 15$ and get a Corsair 430M

That is 185$ over budget, and you can get a much better build than that at that price

Thanks, I think I'll go with this one.

Only $50 over http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/182/AMD_A10-Series_A10-7850K_vs_AMD_Athlon_X4_750K.html for the CPU the A10 out preforms

As for the GPU the r9270 out preforms but the one I included has a better "Future proof" with the fm2+

 

I also included a overboard MOBO but i feel a good one is nessesary

I have a FM2 motherboard, and if you want the same CPU performance spend 10$ more and get a 760K

I have a FM2 MOBO as well, this is the new A10, not the older A10-6800K or A10-5800K 

 

*Edit* That came out this week I might add

[DyGr00339]

Personally, wait for the new Atlhlon's if you can,I agree with coolbeans other than the fact that the new Kavari APU's preform amazingly, so when the kavari Athlon's come out it will be ballin with a discrete GPU

The 7850K has the same CPU as the 6800k and 5800k which is a 750k/760k

Ah , Texas... So Canada 

JK lol , but yes the build of Coolbeans is recommended by me too , maybe he can get an SSD instead of HDD if he already has a 3.5'' HDD lying around but that's up to the OP.
