SpikeSoprano Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Listen to this man! ^^^^^ Don't even think about it, just order that. SO much better performance for your dollar. edit/more: I JUST build a buddy of mine a build just like this (AMD 955, HD6870) for $600 and he loves it. I even managed to fit a Cooler Master Storm Scout in the budget. Definitely look into getting the AMD build, you will be much happier in the end. The HD6870 will blow your mind if you have been using the 9400gt. Only problem he already has the cpu and video card, but I agree the amd build would be much better.

The Smith Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 Only problem he already has the cpu and video card, but I agree the amd build would be much better. From what I understand, he only has the 9400GT, which of course he cannot keep if he wants to game. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
IVIYTH0S Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 From what I understand, he only has the 9400GT, which of course he cannot keep if he wants to game. And the SSD is only a 60GB, which of course he cannot keep if he wants to install his games and programs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Smith Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 And the SSD is only a 60GB, which of course he cannot keep if he wants to install his games and programs Yeah, that's why I was saying he could use his old hard drive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

VaporX Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 lol. I was scared to be seen as a fanboy... I was just trying to show off another option. Awesome selection, the 955 is the BEST budget processor buy there is right now. I would argue the PSU right now, if it is not at least 80PLus certified then do not buy it. You should be able to snag an Earthwatt for about the same price and wattage. As for the 60 Gig size, I refer you to this piece I did a while back. Bringing Your Laptop To Life Specifically I would suggest looking at where i describe how the 60 gig has a lot more space than many people thing. Now true he could not load up a ton of games but if he has one to three that he plays and that is it, he could fit okay on a 60 gig SSD.

sharingan5 Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Also you guys are sure that I can't keep the 9400 GT for the kind of gaming I have in mind???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owenisbad Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 Also you guys are sure that I can't keep the 9400 GT for the kind of gaming I have in mind???? You could keep it, but I really don't see the point in getting such a powerful cpu then holding it back so much with a terrible graphics card. You'll be able to play the games you said, but at no more than minimum settings. Also don't get the h67 motherboard as it doesn't support overclocking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted July 16, 2011 Posted July 16, 2011 I would get the Z68 based board instead but otherwise looking good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
