[Drahsid]

I'm putting a build list together for my friends and I want to make sure it's the best PricevPreformance for 600$

This is $20 cheaper and has a better case, CPU, GPU, and PSU.

[Fictionvl]

Good build, but why a beefy cooler on a non overclock able chip? Invest the money on a better graphics card

[Fictionvl]

Still better than Asus/MSI for AMD cards

Please stop talking nonsense. Powercolor's 200 series was fairly bad, but if you had researched you would know that their 300 series GPUs are actually quite good.

nVidia only.

[I need a better name]

nVidia only.

why?

[jimakos234]

remove that cpu cooler, the stock one is fine, or get a 212 evo if you want one

and get a better psu, like seasonic s12ii 520/620, xfx ts 550/650

[Drahsid]

why?

It's a high preference.

personally id replace the hdd with a 250ssd..and get a hdd later if you can't afford it now

[I need a better name]

It's a high preference.

due to AMD having less munny than nVidia they sell their GPUs and CPUs for a lower price so more people will buy their products and therefore, you get more for your munny

better 4gb vram

[daniellearmouth]

First off, ditch the cooler. You don't need that, since locked Intel chips come with a stock heatsink, which is more than enough.

 

Secondly, that case. I don't recognise the branding at all. Not saying it needs to be changed, but I can't necessarily advise it.

 

Lastly, get a beefier card. A 970 would probably be more ideal, and since you drop the cooler, that'll be easier to afford.

Tell us why you have a preference for nVidia please
