I've been figuring out what processor and video card to get for my new Gaming Rig with my budget limit.
My budget is only limited to either one of the 2 choices:
a.) - Athlon II x4 640 @ 3.0GHZ
- Nvidia GTX 460
b.) - Phenom II x4 965 Black Edition @ 3.4GHZ
- Nvidia GTS 450
Other Parts/components that i have chosen are:
- 2GB DDR3 1333 Memory
- 1TB Hard Drive SATA2
- 19 inch LED LCD Monitor
- CPU fan upgraded to Platinum Fin Extreme Cooling Fan
- 700w PSU
- Foxconn A76GMV 760G AMD ( AM3/DDR3 ) Motherboard
please recommend other things for my new first build computer...
i will try medium overclocking for the first time
and will play games like:
Crysis 2
GTA IV
NFS Shift
Just Cause 2
thank you very much...
sorry for my poor english...|||A. An Athlon X4 is good good enough for gaming. Games these days need more GPU power than CPU. GTX 460 is much more powerful than a 450.
Go with 4GB of RAM.
I think a 700 watt PSU would be overkill.|||The choice with a better graphics card will run faster with games. Games are more dependent on the video card. You want as good as a video card you can get without the CPU bottlenecking the system.
I agree with the 700w psu being overkill. a decent 500w is plenty and will be better than a crappy 700w. Also think about getting 4GB of RAM. 2GB is too little. It would be a shame to build your system only to have the RAM slow it down when it's the cheapest component.
