Hello all,
I've been looking around to build a new computer to play BF3 on ultra/high settings as well as other modern games. I found this build on the net that was boasting to be able to play bf3 for under $800.
• Processor: AMD HDT90ZFBGRBOX Phenom II 1090T Black Edition Six Core Processor ($164.99)
• ASUS M5A78L-M LX AMD Socket AM3+ Motherboard ($59.99)
• XION XON-160P ATX Mid Tower Computer Case w/ 500 watt psu ($49.99)
• PNY Optima MD4096SD3-1333 Desktop Memory Module – 4GB ($24.99)
• Hitachi 0F10383 Deskstar 7K1000.C Hard Drive – 1TB, 3.5″, 7200 RPM, SATA 3G, 32MB ($69.99)
• XFX HD-695X-ZNDC Radeon HD 6950 XXX Video Card – 1GB ($224.99)
• Lite-On IHAS124-04 Internal DVD Writer ($18.99)
$609 (dollars, not sure if prices will be different for UK etc)
OR..
• Asus GTX560Ti
• Intel i5 Sandybridge 3.3Ghz
• Asus P8P67 Pro Motherboard
• 8GB Corsair Vengence RAM
• Corsair TX950 PSU
• Win7 64Bit
£700 without looking for best prices. - Haven't yet looking for case, and I can get win7 at a discounted price through my work.
I'm no expert on builing my own computer.. In fact this is my first time doing it. I'm not a complete hardware noob but by no means am I an expert either. If any of you could offer some advice.. Or post a better build for a similiar price that would be greatly appreciated.
My maximum budget is £800. I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse as well as 2 150gb hard drives.
Thanks in advance for your help,
K
