Budget Gaming PC
I would like to share a build I am planning to get very soon
and you might wanna make it as a reference on your
upcoming purchase. Got these prices from newegg so
if you'll ask how much it would be on your country,
it would costs somewhere near these prices.
Cooler Master Elite 110 = $39
* One of the most cheapest ITX casing out there. Unlike Lian-Li's
and Silverstone's, you could fit a standard sized PSU in it.
Corsair CX 430 430W = $39
*430w of power is more than enough for this entire build
Biostar Hi-Fi B85N 3D = $69
*Cheap and has mosy of the features those famous brands currently has.
For this small platform, it has a good built-in audio.
Intel Pentium G3258 3.2 Ghz LGA 1150 = $69
*At $70 you get a special edition CPU from Intel. An unlocked
CPU that overclocks well with the Biostar Hi-Fi B85N 3D.
G.Skill Ripjaws X 4GB X 2 DDR3 1600mhz = $79
*G.sKill sports a cheap and a kickass design on their
rams. 8Gb with a 1600mhz speed is good enough to play current released games.
Zotac GTX 750Ti 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 = $139
*Sports the new Maxwell architecture. A card so powerful to handle
games like Battlefield 4, Titanfall, COD Ghosts etc. that peaks at
insanely low 75 watts.
Western Digital WD Blue 1TB SATA = $59
1Tb is I think a pretty good enough capacity for this build.
Total = $493
(monitor excluded)
A budget gaming PC that can handle latest games @ full HD.
It has a small foot print that you could put it almost anywhere
on your table.

Re: Budget Gaming PC
I have that CPU and the same video card in EVGA form for my HTPC if you have any benchmark requests or such before you get too far down the road.
If you are trying to emphasize quiet and cool then I get the GPU choice. Otherwise, I'd be tempted to push for more GPU since you have a "real" power supply.

yes i guess it is, couldn't imagine that pair of 9800gt's would suck so much wattage.

Re: Budget Gaming PC
can't believe those 9800gt's suck 250watts combined and I overclocked them. they used power watts than my 570 does and yet my 570 is almost 2x more powerful then the 9800gt's

I guess that's what nvidia is currently up to, more power but with less consumption.DJ Tucker wrote:can't believe those 9800gt's suck 250watts combined and I overclocked them. they used power watts than my 570 does and yet my 570 is almost 2x more powerful then the 9800gt's

Re: Budget Gaming PC
yep they are. however they made the 700 series use more watts then the previous 600 series. in fact they used more watts then the improvement they provided over the 600 series

Not sure about that man but I don't see it on the 750 Ti. Runs at 70 watts at full load, that's some serious savings.DJ Tucker wrote:yep they are. however they made the 700 series use more watts then the previous 600 series. in fact they used more watts then the improvement they provided over the 600 series

Keep in mind that the GTX 750 Ti is Maxwell, so it really should be in the 900 series!Euro_Bucks wrote:Not sure about that man but I don't see it on the 750 Ti.
