11/8 MY PC is built!   But haven't put on OS yet.

11/10 PC is 100% down. OS and everything.  Currently downloading windows updates. So I will still be using my laptop for the rest of the night for gaming and then never again :D


11/11  Now using my new PC here is the specs of my old laptop.


My new PC specs




Still need headset still and probably better monitor.

Can't talk to people on new computer. ;_; no mic.

Looks good, although since I was on an even more restricted budget than you I built an ATI computer that totaled 800 alongside the monitor and accessories such as keyboard and mouse and whatnot.

Anyways, experience and recommendation is that Nvidia and Intel provide better GPUs and CPUs but at a substantially higher cost. It's quality vs cost efficiency mostly.

Edit: That's right, I forgot. Ditch the heatsink that your CPU comes with and invest in an aftermarket heatsink. Cooler temps are worth the money, not only for performance but also for your immediate environment (Having a bad heatsink can result in heat radiating from your PC and making it pretty uncomfortable).

Heatsinks are pretty cheap aren't they?

I could honestly make my PC a lot more expensive, but I don't wanna go overkill and I don't feel like spending much.

Change to a better motherboard, maybe less on the GPU and an extra fan or two for the case, those are around $10 each.

That green drive is pretty slow. You think you could recycle an HDD or just buy a new one when you need it? The motherboard is cheaply built. Otherwise good build.

Well, I was hoping to make the GPU last awhile....

Would the fans make it really loud? I hate listening to fans. lol

I've got nothing to reuse sadly...

Can either of you recommend a cheap and better Motherboard?

I have a loud computer but my headphones have almost no noise isolation because they are open headphones. More of speakers that sit on my ears.

How loud? I hate loud. I'm a grumpy old man.

Is that good? lol

I play every game on something different lmao. It's a laptop, I don't have much choice.

Loud hurts my ears. I like things quiet.

Um... I don't know... I don't have a monitor yet so I couldn't say... lol

I really wanted to go intel with my build, but I decided it would be best to go AMD. Do you edit video? Is it worth paying another $100 for a five-second faster boot time and an extra 10FPS in Starcraft II?

If you want to be futureproof, get a nice $110 LGA 1155 board and 3570k/2500k. Get a nice CPU cooler to go with it. Bump the GPU down to a 7770, 6870 or 7850 to stay within budget. Personal preference, but I like Antec and Corsair PSUs.

GTX 670 FTW is amazing too, if you have $400 then I would suggest the 670 FTW.

If he is running 1080p it wouldn't be worth it right now. Assuming he doesn't already have a gaming rig (no monitor, no reusable HDD) any upgrade would be huge, and a 660ti can run any game today max settings with 30+ fps. It's not worth paying 30% more on a card to maybe get a 10-15% performance increase.
