Re: $1,000 Budget Build


Very helpful, I appreciate the information a lot Turns out I should be able to get everything I want within my budget. At this point, I'm not too worried about going a bit over, so I'm splurging on a 660-ti. I think I'll be fine with a 2500k, I've got a bundle with the cpu and case that saves some cash.
I've changed up my components a bit though:
CPU and Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...=Combo.1075437
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130810
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139010
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813131837
Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152185
Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820231548
In my eyes this build looks great, but if you see an error, again, by all means point it out
By the way my old memory choice went out of stock.

I would change the PSU to this one if you can spend the money on it now. Steal for $100.

Also, in terms of a 3570, I've heard of heat issues with them and very little improvement on performance.
You sound like you've just come from hwcompare.

Real-world performance is what matters. Look up the FPS scores in gaming benchmarks (the 1920x1200 scores are what you need to be concerned with) and you won't find a single instance of the 560ti beating the 660, let alone the 660ti.

The 560ti's more popular because it's been around longer. The 660 (non-ti) was only released in September.


Somehow I missed that this had reached a second page.

What is the difference between this and the one I chose? Other than the fact that it's a bit more expensive? I'm already like 50 bucks over budget if you include mail-in rebates.

BTW I went for the 3570k for CPU as someone had suggested. I appreciate your input; I managed to find a good combo with that CPU and the motherboard I picked out, which pleases me greatly

I'm guessing the price has changed since he posted, by roughly $50.

Okay, here's a revised list and, as far as I'm concerned, possible final product. I think you guys knocked out most of the small kinks in the old build and this new build seems pretty great
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119225
CPU and Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...=Combo.1033223
GPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130810
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139010
Hard Drive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822152185

Misc Info
Re: $1,000 Budget Build


You've got broken links from the GPU down. They seem to be the same as ones you posted earlier?

I think for the 660Ti I would go for this one:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814125441
Rather than a factory overclock. The 6xx cards all overclock themselves in order to run at a certain thermal output. So having the better cooler will increase the boost clocks and be quieter.
At least, that's the case with the 670 cards, I haven't paid as much attention to the 660Ti.

Re: $1,000 Budget Build


Ah, that sucks. Well they are the same ones as earlier. I'm going with the 660ti EVGA because I really don't like MSI. Their cards seem unreliable in my opinion. But anyway, I think my build's pretty much set. Just gotta order now. I'm not getting a monitor either, gonna HDMI up to my 50 inch tv It's gonna be awesome.
