Intel blows AMD out of the water so get a G860: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116405
You want 2x4GB so you get double memory bandwidth, so two 8GB kits.

And the motherboard... you are going dangerously budget. I found this to match:

Pro or regular?
Regular is... not great from what I've read. Maybe the 500GB makes up for it though.
What the fuck. Link?
won't that go out of stock within a few seconds though?
BF/CM is a great tiem to get a solid PSU for cheap after rebate so I'd hold off on a VP450 for now and see what pops up. That card is a good buy after rebate.This video card was brought up a few posts back

I was going to buy a 7850 for about the same price so was thinking about pulling the trigger on this. I need a new power supply and was looking at the vp450. Would the Antec vp450 power the 7870? I was told it would the 7850, any other suggestions for power supplies?
Thanks for any help.
Pretty common on most coolers to twist around a bit after install. Just see if temps are good.Started working on building my new computer. Installing the hyper evo is not trivial. Getting the retaining bracket right took a bit of fidgeting and still the heatsink wiggles a tiny bit. Turkey day tomorrow so won't get back to it till Friday, hopefully as the thermal paste firms up that will go away.
Seems like the 500GB mitigates a good bit of the slowness, hope it works out well for you.Pro is $600+. I hear the performance is worse but the price is right.
Yes.Are you in the US by any chance?
here ya go CDN-GAF
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130653
is this motherboard fine? not looking for anything crazy, just need something that can support an intel CPU. i'm fine with 2x usb 3.0 and 2x sata3 since i don't have much for that right now
If you have any money now I'd buy the ASRock and be on high alert for deals on other things, might have some flash sales on old 2500K stock for low prices. That 3220 for $100 isn't bad though (You need to pick it up in store)Your Current Specs: AMD Athlon X2 4000+ / 2x1GB DDR2 800 sticks / Gigabyte M61P-S3 / nVidia GeForce GTS 250 (eVGA) / XFX Core 550w
Budget: $500-600, USA
Main Use: Gaming
Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050 until I get a new monitor and finally get to the promised land of 1920x1080.
List SPECIFIC games that you MUST be able to play: World of Warcraft, Star Wars: The Old Republic, and PlanetSide 2.
Looking to reuse any parts?: I'll be reusing the XFX Core 550w PSU as I bought that last year in December.
When will you build?: Either by Christmas or before that Windows 8 $40 upgrade deal goes away.
Will you be overclocking?: Only if I find a deal like that i5 2500k two days ago.
Now I've been building a list of parts that I may be buying. Lots of good deals popping around right now.
CPU: i3 3220
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme3
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD 7850 2GB
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X 8GB 2x4GB DDR3 1600

Case: NZXT Source 210 Elite - White
Total after tax: $553.84
Any thoughts about this build? If there's better deals out there then please tell me. I want to make sure I get the best bang for the buck that I can.
That will do fine.any input on this? i'm ready to pull the trigger
btw i'm also going to need a psu. looking for something cheap but can handle a 7870
Comes and goes.http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231489
Is a better deal for 16 GB likely to come around before next Black Friday? I don't need this much right now, and probably won't for quite some time, but it would be nice to have.

PC looks ace but the only thing I have problem with is that they give you a 3770k and don't include a Z77 motherboard to overclock that puppy.Just ordered this computer

I guess not!Since I have no idea how to overclock It doesn't matter![]()

Can you call and see if they can swap it to something else? Heard not so great things about the Seagate Greens.Seagate Barracuda Green 2TB - 5900RPM - 64MB
I know this thread is kind of US centric, but where can a continental euroGAF buy his things? I think mainland online stores ship everywhere nowadays (while UK stores probably don't)
Yes.
I apologise in advance for the stupid questions.
I've bought a system which has this motherboard:-
Asus P8Z77-V LX Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
Do I need to buy a sound card or does the board have onboard sound etc? I'll be connecting it to my TV.
Also, do I need a wifi card? Without I assume I can't connect to a wirless router? I don't have the option of ethernet in new room. Should I just buy a USB wifi thing? And which are good options?
Sorry, I'm an idiot in need of help!
Change the RAM then to the 30nm Samsung stuff
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00592002W/?tag=neogaf0e-20
I'd look at a different PSU too. You could get this for the same price as the one you're looking at
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151088
All boards have on-board sound,
And yeah you'll need a WiFi card, either a PCIe one or a USB one.
Thanks for the reply!
Okay I'll not bother with a sound card.
Would you recommed one kind over the other with the wifi card, or are both similar for signal strength etc?
I'm thinking of upgrading my PC next year, is there anything I can look forward to that's not already available today? Any new GPUs coming that are worth waiting for? Or will 2013 be a boring year in terms of tech?
I'll be honest and say I don't know which is better. At home I've got two USB ones and they've never put a foot wrong but recently I helped a guy with a build and he used a PCI one and he says it's rock solid too, so I don't know which way to go
There'll be new GPUs, what they're like it's a matter of speculation. We won't know for sure for a while yet. Intel will also have their next 'Tock' upgrade for CPUs when they launch a new socket and launch Haswell.
I'm just asking because my friend was saying that it won't make any difference if I upgrade now or next year, because according to him, there won't be any stuff out that's better than what I could get today. My current setup is still good enough for me, so I don't have a problem waiting for some time before commiting.
Please don't hook up all that pricey new hardware to a 6 year old non quality PSU.I was thinking about temporarily using an old PSU in the PC I'm about to build; it's a few years old, and is more of a stop gap solution until I can afford a really good modular PSU. So, my question is will my old Win Power ATX 600L be able to cope with my new PC?
CPU: i5 3570k
GPU : 7950 or 7970 (undecided at the moment)
RAM : 8gb
HDD: SSDx1 SATA HDDx4
DRIVE : DVD-RW Drive
MB : Asrock z77 Pro4
I probably only plan on using my old PSU until either just before or after Christmas, at which point it'll be replaced with a modular one.

Hmm 3770 is only $80 more than 3570 on Newegg right now....
So that would make my final build:
Case: Define R4
CPU: i7 3770k
Fan: Hyper 212 EVO
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V LK
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon 7950
PSU: Seasonic M12II 620
RAM: GSkill Ares 2x8GB v1.5 DDR3 1600
SSD: Crucial M4 256 GB
good to go?
