Geralt of Rivia Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Ok, so I'm going to build a gaming PC. I want some feedback though, since I know very little about this stuff. Is the computer top of the line? Is it really good? Will it be able to run games like Battlefield 3 on Ultra with high FPS? Is there any way I can improve it while keeping the price down under $1400? Any and all help is greatly appreciated http://pcpartpicker.com/p/jQkX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) I was going to say it was a decent build until i saw this. Asus Radeon HD 6670 1GB Video Card You will not run many games at ultra with that card, i suggest saving $80 on the CPU and getting an i5 instead, and getting a cheaper case, $170 on a case is a rip-off when you get a suitable one for $60. Also cut back the Ram to 8GB, 16Gb is over-kill unless the rest of your build is overkill. Also what do you need the sound card for? I really hate PC Part Picker, could i put something together with newegg instead? The price difference isn't really big. I will edit in the build.

Finn 7 five 11 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) The keyboard you suggested - $69 from Amazon, might as well buy it from there, i would browse other keyboards though, $80 is a lot for a wired fairly basic keyboard. The Mouse you suggested - $37 also from Amazon, that's a good choice. The rest of the parts are from Newegg, prices vary little and it's easier when it comes to warranty and such to have everything from one place. Monitor Dell 21.5" 1920x1080 - $150, Dell is good with monitors and have a very generous warranty which is why i added it, you can however still use the monitor you picked before if you like, there isn't much difference except the Acer is 1.5" bigger. Case Cooler Master Haf 912 - $60, similar to the one you suggested in looks. CPU I5 3570k - $229 Mobo ASRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 - 134.99 HDD Seagate Barracuda 7200Rpm 1.5tb - 79.99 GPU Sapphire Radeon 7870 2GB - 249.99 with a $15 rebate. PSU Antec BP550w 80 + Bronze 3 12v+ rails - $64.99 RAM Corsair 2x4GB 1600mHz CAS 9 $44.99, 1600Mhz(Maximum supported speed right?) and a CAS latency of 9. Windows Home premium 64Bit - $99 DVD Drive Sony 24x DVD reader/writer -$17 Cooler Hyper 212 CPU cooler - $39.99 Total = $1162.90 with $35 mail in rebates Plus your keyboard and mouse Final Total = $1233. I think i got everything, your build is much better than before, you still have room to improve your GPU further if you want, but it's not necessary, this will run any current game at very high settings. A sound card is pointless unless you plan to use your PC to plug an expensive stereo into, or you are an Audiophile with high Quality headphones. Any improvements that anyone could add? EDIT: Forgot to copy the URL to the monitor and forgot to add the DVD drive to my cart, just added it, and factored in the mail in rebates, new total is $1233.

EDIT: Forgot DVD drive, just added it, and factored in the mail in rebates, new total is $1233. Thank you man, I just have one major question: Is it all compatible? Oh, and the HDD and the GPU seem to have mixed reviews, some people work it fine, and a lot of people seem to have problems. I don't know if I want to take the risk...Is there anything else that's similar that has better reviews or anything? My paranoia is deserved, however, because my luck is god awful I'd probably get one of the faulty pieces. Other than that, looks great and is way cheaper than the other one. Thank you, thank you very much Edited October 10, 2012 by Masterfocker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Well with the HDD i was going to choose a Hitachi for $70, but i don't trust them. Seagate is a brilliant brand, People that get unlucky will have theirs break, then some back and leave bad reviews, you won't find a better brand. However if your HDD does fail they will replace it for you within two years. As for the GPU, I wouldn't really worry about it, often they are Dead on arrival but you will get a free replacement if that is the case and it has a 2 year warranty, if it breaks, you get a new one. But if it makes you feel better this XFX has better reviews and it is the same card. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814150609 OH also, since you have some extra space with money, you could get a small SSD to speed up your boot time if you wanted to, just to install windows on.

You know what sucks? The monitor I picked was discontinued Aside from that, everything looks great. My friend told me I should get an upwards of 600-650 Watts though, just to be on the safe side.

I used to think that too, anyone here will tell it to you, over 500Watts is more than enough provided it's a quality PSU The maximum output of that rig is at like 270Watts. More than that is just overkill, besides which PSU's perform better when they have a bit of load of them if i remember right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, so just to be clear (sorry, I'm the kind of person that HAS to make sure everything is perfect before doing something), everything is compatible? And it'll all fit in that case?

And it'll all fit in that case? I'm a stickler, sorry All the parts are compatible no doubt, as for size it will probably be close with the GPU because it's a dual fan so it's quite long, but the HAF912 is a spacious case and i think the HDD bays are removable in case your short on room. I would just wait until someone else see the topic and can give their opinion, check twice cut once. The card is 9.5" x 4.4" x 1.5". EDIT: SUPPORT FOR LONG GRAPHICS CARD The Cooler Master HAF 912 supports high-end graphics cards like ATI HD 5970 and NVIDIA GeForce GTX480 after the removal of the 3.5’’ HDD cage. Yep you will be fine. Edited October 10, 2012 by finn4life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OverTheBelow Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Maybe I'm just missing something but did you forget to list the CPU in your build, Finn? The stuff you listed only adds up to around $940 out of $1162. OP, you should stick with the faster SAPPHIRE 7870. I wouldn't worry too much about problems in the reviews as these things can happen with all GPUs. The brand is reputable and offers warranty.

Edited into the build, it was an i5 3570K. And uh yeah that's what i was thinking Over, people have issues, it happens and like mentioned there is a good warranty, hopefully master won't be so worried since we have a techie adding some weight to it.

MIKON8ERISBACK Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 For a video card, I would suggest an NVIDIA EVGA GTX 560. It's somewhat high end and not very expensive in comparison to other high end ones (around $300 dollars in Canada). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's somewhat high end and not very expensive in comparison to other high end ones (around $300 dollars in Canada). The 560 is around $170 on Newegg, but it's also considerably slower than the 7870. Finn adapted the build to make room in the budget for a stronger (and thus more expensive) graphics card and more balanced config in return for a more noticeable gain in performance. The only reason you are recommending the 560 is because it's the card you own, and I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time I've seen you randomly refer to it. My 5850 is a great card too and it's cheap but that doesn't mean I go recommending it to every Tom, Dick and Harry. Instead, I'd recommend a comparable 7000 series or a 600 series card instead because they are newer and better tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yoječ Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) ^ this rig is excellent. One thing I might suggest is this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16817116014 As much as HIVE is excellent (very similar to OCZ ZS 650W), HALE82 seems to be a tad better - it's basically a modular XFX Core 650W / Corsair TX650V2. And it has much more power on 12V rail (comparable with ZS 750W / HIVE 750W). Right now price of this NZXT is incredible.

yoječ Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 GTX650 is about the same as GTX550Ti, so it isn't anything special. I wouldn't go below HD7770/GTX650Ti, or even better - HD7850. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sivispacem Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Also, the Corsair CX400 is freaking ancient. The AX650 is probably about what you'd expect in terms of PSU output and performance for a rig of this calibre.

unc13bud Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 it might be ancient, but its a known quality psu. i use it in my summer builds and swap the pc power cooling 750w back in during fall to early spring. i know i am very satisfied with my gt 640 @1920x1200, so the gtx650 should be even better for the same price. these things sip so little power and create so little heat. nvidia got a miracle chip on their hands Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I have to agree. CX400 is a solid PSU, and there are still sold PSUs that use similar platform, just revamped - XFX Core 450/550W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
