Do you plan to overclock at all? All of these are from amazon, and most of them should be free shipping. This is about the best rig I have for around that price. The total with the OS is 768.74.

Do you already have a 120Hz monitor? Keyboard? Mouse?

If needed, I could fit in a keyboard and mouse set, which would be the CM Storm Devastator. But no monitor, especially for a 120 hz monitor, which would just wreck this budget.

It'd probably be better to get a 60Hz monitor, then you will only need 60 FPS. At this budget, that's perfectly possible, and you can play on better settings than medium. The build above is fine, but perhaps consider the NZXT Source 210 Elite instead of the Corsair 200R. Both good cases though.

The 200r is better by a long shot, I'll show you why (also forgot it's 59.99 with amazon not 44, but 10 bucks goes a long way)

Firstly, the NZXT Source 210 Elite:

Manufacturer NZXT
Part # S210E-001
(or) SOURCE210ELITE-BK
Type ATX Mid Tower
Color Black
Power Supply None
External 5.25" Bays 3
Internal 3.5" Bays 8
Motherboard Compatibility Micro ATX, ATX
Front Panel USB 3.0 Ports Yes
Maximum VIdeo Card Length (With Drive Cages) 9.06"
(Without Drive Cages) 12.99"
Dimensions 19.49" x 7.68" x 17.28"

200R:

Manufacturer Corsair
Part # 200R
(or) CC-9011023-WW
(or) CC200R
Type ATX Mid Tower
Color Black
Power Supply None
External 5.25" Bays 3
Internal 2.5" Bays 4
Internal 3.5" Bays 4
Motherboard Compatibility Micro ATX, ATX
Front Panel USB 3.0 Ports Yes
Maximum VIdeo Card Length (With Drive Cages) 11.81"
(Without Drive Cages) 16.93"
Dimensions 19.57" x 8.27" x 16.89"

You get 11.8 inches of clearence with the drive cages in place, 16.9 inches by removing 1 or 2 cages. You also get 4 2.5 inch bays, 4 3.5 inch bay. It's a much better deal for only 10 bucks more. I know you might say that you could buy 3.5 to 2.5 inch adapters, but it's easier and a money saver to have your SSD bays right there. Also you are right about the monitor, but it's still going to be hard to put in a monitor on his budget especially for 120Hz or what have you.

If your build includes 4 SSD's, you're probably going to be able to afford an even better case such as the Define R4. That's a ridiculous argument, to be honest.

Also, the NZXT Source 210 Elite offers the same (and in some cases, better) features for a lower price. When you're building with a low budget like this guy is, it's important to save money where you can.

 

[Diox55]

Its not about fitting 4 ssds its just convenience. To me (and I'm FAR from any money) I'd spend the 10 extra bucks for it. I know its a smal budget, but honestly I've had way more harder budgets (such as a 400 dollar one, 450 and 500) and the lowest ive built I used the 200R (or was it the 300?) When they were 37 bucks.

This will run at high settings at around 50-60 fps, and medium I think you could pull 120. On Ultra you could potentially pull 30-50 fps.

Are you sure about 120 fps-mid?How about a gtx 770?

If you really wanted a more powerful gpu, then the 280x would be your answer. I still think that 270 could pull 120 fps on medium, if I was going to part an upgrade on this I'd go with the FX 8300 cpu and upgrade the gpu later on.

I'd ultimately just recommend going for the 8320 right now, and then upgrade that psu and gpu later on when you can afford it a bit better.
