New building advises!

[eurekH]

So a friend of mine asked me to build a computer for him, he's not a heavy gamer, so i told him that the best 

option is a middle end gaming rig.

 

 I'm thinking matx board with a gtx 660 and a i3 or 15, what you guys think, we don't want a big case, but i want

support for a 240 rad because i have a H100i that i don't need no more and will be perfect for his build.

 

So far this is what i came up with:

 

MoBo: Gigabyte H81M-HD2

CPU:   i3 4150

Ram:   4 gb kingston hyperx fury

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i

HDD: 1 tb 7200 rpm

GPU nvidia gtx 660

PSU: I'm thinking a 500 wt, i havn't decide.

Case:  ???? any suggestions.

 

We want to stay around 600 to 700 dlls.

Where are you gonna find a 660? A 750ti or even a 960 would be a better option.

You are right, i didn't considered the 750ti, i think i'll grab that instead of the 660, and if you look hard you can find them.

Use the stock cooler. Invest most of the saving in an ssd. I would suggest at least 120GB. The rest into the gpu.

thermaltake v21 matx case it pretty nice.

You don't need an h100i to cool a stock clocked CPU.
