just look at toms $500 build .. its awesome .. and its for $520
you can get that build with an msi fx980 motherboard instead the ASrock 770
get a msi mobo that support am3+ up to 125w cpu !!
do not get the listed can .. its ugly !!
if you want nvidia .. go for gtx 560 or higher .. that's the minimum for the games now

[spentshells]

I like the above but you say 600 in the title or 650 before rebates in the article
if so you can concider this

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102945

Personaly Im switching to Nvidia but the card I posted is a bit stronger
it's also dual bios if your feeling brave....not me

 

[aznshinobi]

^ Not true, the Gigabyte 560 Ti OC is clocked at 900mhz which puts it passed the 570. Hence this specific 560 Ti > 6950

 

[spentshells]

dual bios gives the option for the brave but when you need 1.2GB vram for some of the titles youll be way ahead

mind you ive seen the 560 non ti in action gigabyte at 930mhz and it was actualy terribly impressive at 1920x1080

 

[aznshinobi]

^ 1GB Vram is really all anyone needs. I run a 5850 1GB and it's fine (Though it's aged since 2 yrs ago) as for the 560 Ti it is great OCd.

 

[spentshells]

CRAZY I just saw your old system in the signature, when you get the new system your going to shed a tear or two

Yeah the case is ugly but I swear by it, I will build my next machine using the same case unless there is a massive sale on something else. I already have
Perfect venting great cable management great everything Esata up front and Enough space to SLI and crossfire with tons of cooling options

Only real issue is cleaning it all the time I have lots of 120 fans sucking in the dust

yes i no my machine is pretty old but it still works good but its can't do what i really want now so thats y im upgradding ?

 

[crazygamer27]

ok i like all your suggestions but can windows 7 32bit run 8GB ram because i lost my 64bit disc and windows 7 cost way to much ?

 

[mirchandise]

No, 32bit only recognizes 4GB of ram.

as i stated before i only want a amd build not intel ?

 

[008Rohit]

Why would you want an AMD build?

 

[crazygamer27]

for performance/cost and i love amd products

 

[ScrewySqrl]

AMD is a big behind intel right now, although Buldozer may change that

 

[aznshinobi]

^ Also BD comes at a lower price if the latest news is correct. Another thing although your intel build is good Rohit, the board only supports 1 card as opposed to an AMD build that could fit in a board that supports SLI for that low of a price.

 

[008Rohit]

Would he want to SLI/CF in a $600 budget?

@ OP

This AMD Build. Slightly worse for gaming, but better for multitasking.

[008Rohit]

If you will not be gaming at all, then replace the GPU with a blu ray burner.
