WarWeeny Posted October 28, 2014 Posted October 28, 2014 Do you have a (total) budget and what do you want to do with it? That build can be a lot better if you let us take a crack at it. Of course it is our opinion and you don't have to agree on it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RazerZ Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 (edited) I'd go for something like this: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i3-4150 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor ($114.99 @ NCIX US) Motherboard: MSI H81M-P33 Micro ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($48.99 @ Mwave) Memory: Team Zeus Yellow 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($67.99 @ Newegg) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - 64-bit (OEM) (64-bit) ($90.26 @ OutletPC) Other: POWER COLOR HD 6970 GRAPHICS CARD ($104.00) Total: $426.23 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available Generated by PCPartPicker 2014-11-03 19:14 EST-0500 The 6970 is in there assuming you have a decent 500+W PSU. The locked i3 will be faster than an overclocked 760k for gaming (assuming that's what this system is for). I'd get Windows 8.1 because it's slightly faster than 7 and there's a chance Windows 10 will be a free upgrade from it. If you don't like the Metro UI in Win 8 you can skip it and boot straight to the desktop. If you want the start menu back you can install classic shell.

El_Capitan Posted November 4, 2014 Posted November 4, 2014 If you live in the U.S., I usually give pretty good package deals. So if you're looking for a $400 budget, I could offer a delidded 3570K and Z77 motherboard (or i7 2700K and Z68 motherboard) with 2x4GB memory combo with presets already set in the BIOS for various overclocks. With the Hyper 212+ in push/pull, you can easily do 4.5GHz with either setup. Also tossing in either a HD 7950 or HD 7970 (non reference cooler), and keep it within your $400 budget, shipped.
