Good Cheap Builds?

[Spencer Wonton]

Just wondering but since I'm looking to replace my vintage 2005 mac with an amd 1600 I've found a good cheap build but I'm not sure it's the best if anyone knows if this can be improved in any ways without going over 750$ canadian (plus since I'm in quebec taxes are around 10%)

 

Specs:

 

EVGA 02G-P4-3751-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB 128-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card

 

Intel Pentium G2030 Ivy Bridge Dual-Core 3.0GHz LGA 1155 55W Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80637G2030

 

Western Digital WD Blue WD10EZEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive Bare Drive - OEM

 

Rosewill RCX-Z1 CPU Cooler

 

CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B

 

BIOSTAR H61MGV3 LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard

 

  APEX TX-606-U3 Black Steel / Plastic MicroATX Tower Computer Case USB3.0 with USB2.0 Adapter Cable 300W Power Supply

 

Asus VE228H 21.5" Full HD HDMI LED BackLight LCD Monitor w/Speakers ASCR 10,000,000:1

 

((all of this is one newegg.ca)) (((power supply is 300w and comes with case)))

 

Thanks! Feedback would be nice

Thats not a good build.

 

This is the wrong section of the forum.

 

Build it yourself.

switch out that pentium and try to get atleast an i3. but even if thats not possible PLEASEEEEEE, get the 650ti boost 2 gig card instead of that crappy 750.  you can find them for around 120 on ebay. and they are well worth it. i own one and it out performs the 750 (not in terms of power though)

I'd hate to burst your bubble but...the PC community for Call of Duty is pretty much dead:( Steam had a free weekend of COD Ghosts and during the free weekend only 12,000 people were playing it and once the weekend ended it went down to 300 people.

(if amd cpu's work with nividia gpu's)

[Spencer Wonton]

SAPPHIRE DUAL-X 100365L Radeon R9 270 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Video Card With BOOST & OC 

fit in this case 

APEX TX-606-U3 Black Steel / Plastic MicroATX Tower

Intel works with amd and nvidia and amd works with amd and nvidia. they are all compatable.
