$900 Build

[Rinnefy]

I am going to build a gaming computer on September. I need a good suggestions for the parts.

 

1. Budget & Location

My budget is only $900. I live in Malaysia, so $900USD = $2600MYR.

 

2. Aim

This system will be use for gaming and a little editting.

 

3. Monitors & Peripherals

I don't need this,

 

 

Store I'm buying from: http://www.lelong.com.my/

Is there a specific case you want, amd or intel, amd or nvidia?, does color matter, water or air cooling?

Total: $983 in my location could down grade the ssd.

 

 

 Intel Core i5-3570K - $230

 

 SAMSUNG 840 250GB SSD - $190

 

 

 CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB - $63

 

 MSI Z77A-G43 - $110

 

 CORSAIR HX series HX650  - $140

 

 

 XFX Double D Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition - $250

 

Hope this helps and you can change the ssd to a 150gb and a 1tb hdd and save a bit.

Intel i5 3570K - 200

ASUS Maximus v gene - 180

AMD 7950 Saphire - 300

WD Black 1TB - 90

Corsair TX650 - 80

Corsair Vengeance 8 GB(4x2) - 66

NZXT Vulcan - 70

 

1000$ Build in total, prices taken from Amazon.

 

if you want you can downgrade to a 7870 just in case u want to only spend 900$ or the motherboard.

For $900 might I suggest the following, Prices are from Australia so may be different but this will give you an idea of a nice balanced gaming rig for the price.

 

Bitfenix Prodigy with window ($80)

AMD fx8320 ($180)

AsRock 970 Extreme 3 ($100)

8Gb Corsair ram ($70)

AMD 7870 ($210)

Silverstone strider 500watt psu ($60)

Samsung 840 120Gb ssd ($100)

WD Green 2Tb hdd ($100)

 

Alternately the i5 3470 is a good grab on the intel side of things. But the 8320 is basically an underclocked 8350 and would be slightly ahead in terms of gaming.

Great suggestions. Wrote the parts to my list. Any AMD suggestions?

[LIGISTX]

I would suggest the same things as in the text you quoted, except I would say go for a cheaper motherboard, such as a MSI Z77A-G43, Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H, ASRock Extreme4 Z77, or a decent cheap Asus board. Use the left over money to get yourself an SSD instead of a normal harddrive. 

 

That would give you an all around beast of a PC.

8320 - 160

ASUS crosshair v formula - 220 + then u'll need to a mid tower cabinet.

 

although the reason i didnt recommend AMD is.. 3 of my friends have the 8350 and they all have heating issues without after market headsinks.

 

although i wouldnt recommend getting a cheaper mobo cause then you might miss out on features like better onboard audio and stuff.

 

SupremeFx audio on the ROG boards is a little tard better then other onboard audios like the Realtek.

You wont need Crosshair unless you are runnning double o triple vga, go with some cheaper board, what about an Asus M5A99X Evo R2.0 or sth similar.
