If you only had a little more, you could buy this one and add a GeForce GT 740.

I got some nice options so far, can I have some more?

Are you going to build it yourself?

Seems simpler to just pick the most expensive parts to max your budget if you're building, or just looking for the highest numbers on a prebuilt.


anyway, $500

reservation on the gpu cause thats a jungle i've never dared enter, picked one for whatever money was left.
we're pretty heavily taxed, you'll likely afford a better one.

no mechanical drive cause you probably have one already, format and reuse if necessary - games and OS on the ssd.

expand ram when required, no you don't need 16GB.

nope forgot psu.. Corsair CX 430W

nope forgot case.. CM Force 500.

and suddenly we're at $600.. this is hard.
cpu switch: AMD FX-6300 Black Edition Socket-AM3+, 3.5GHz, 6-Core, 6MB L2 + 8MB L3 Cache, 95W, 32nm, Boxed w/fan, $550 total.

I replaced my graphics card for a better one:

EVGA - GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 Graphics Card

And this one has ACX cooling so it's a monster when it comes to long hours of max clocking.

With 12gb ram (you only need 8 actually) and Core i5 4570 you can play CF at 1080p with max details in a 16 player room and get about 220 fps in the thick of it.
