matt4444 Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Get a HD 7850 OC. Brilliant graphics and card and fairly cheap. Also perhaps a cheaper keyboard and mouse? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre S. Veteran Posted April 23, 2013 Veteran Share Posted April 23, 2013 I wouldn't buy a computer without an SSD these days. Think about it, the hard drive is several orders of magnitude slower than everything else in your PC and will massively slow it down. 95% of the time you'll be waiting for something, it'll be the hard drive. Yes, the SSD is more expensive and has less capacity, but you can always add a storage hard drive later; they are cheap and easy to add to an existing build. goretsky 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YounGMessiah Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 You only plan on sticking with one video card? Suggest getting a PS2 keyboard :p, but thats me I prefer Seagate for harddrives, but I think they cost a bit more from what I saw Might want to check these http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/performance-chipsets/z77-express-chipset.html http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/chipsets/business-chipsets/b75-express-chipset.html I would suggest a Z77 for your use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandor Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Hope you already have an SSD drive because if you're still only using mechanical drives in 2013 you need to do some reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
