Need a new PC

CheezWiz4U · July 2011

Around $500 from newegg.

I don't play anything exactly amazing graphics wise.

Mostly my gaming hours would consist of,

CF
BF BC2
Black Ops
GMOD
CSS
JustCause2
Sanctum
L4D2
Minecraft

Stuff like that. Not the highest quality games. Needs to have a decent hardrive size. I use alot. Including an OS would be nice, but if not including it makes a big difference in the two builds you could do, list me one with and one without.

PS: No idea why I'm on an alt.

PS, that alt is mine. I was on an alt account testing stuff and forgot to switch back.

This time I actually am buying the pc. I have the old lists, but most the stuff is outa stock.

Like I said, I don't play anything amazing, so it don't need a top-notch pc. Just something that'll play all those games, and some others at a decent fps.

That would be it for now. Preferably not much over $500.

I'm only going to be using it for about 2 years.

I do alot of development/programming stuff, so the hardrive needs to be a decent size. (Atleast 500gigs would be nice) But I can always get another hardrive when I need it, so not a big deal.

Other than that, I'm leaving the quality of the rest of the stuff to the people who know how to do it well.

PS;

So far the build I got is this from a guy on IRC.

(I'm having him change it a bit).

^^ That build looks excellent IMO. If you could push your budget a little bit and maybe go for a x4 CPU, that will be great but other than that, everything else looks solid. What things are you having him change?

EDIT: Ditch the CPU cooler because the stock cooler will do fine unless you are overclocking, which I doubt you will be doing and get the Phenom II X4 955. Much better performance. You could go a little cheaper on the case too. I would recommend the NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case. Everything else looks excellent. I say you get the system he recommened and buy the CPU and case that I recommened.

The build that Dragunover (the guy who built the list in the one i posted) changed it a bit.

I had him go lower on the ram, and add a bit to the processor. (Don't really need 8gigs of ram right now lolz).

He suggested 4gb of RAM, not 8? And look at my previous post. Get rid of the CPU cooler, get the Phenom II X4 955 CPU and go cheaper on the case too with the NZXT case.

Alright, going to modify it a bit now, anymore suggestions anyone?
