Hey all, I've never built a AMD, or a Budget System, but my girlfriend recently got into playing some MMO's and were waiting for A Realm Reborn to be released, and I know her laptop wont be able to handle it so I'm looking to build her a Budget rig for medium - high Graphic gaming. After looking up parts from AMD I'm not really sure real world performance on there stuff so I'd like advice on a build I've Started putting together.

Approximate Purchase Date: Next Few Weeks


Budget Range:500-700 $ shipping can be a bit more

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Medium Spec Gaming - Everyday internet use, etc.


Are you buying a monitor: No


Do you need to buy OS: No


Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I'll be ordering everything from newegg, even though the Link is an assortment of different retailers


Location: City, State/Region, Country - Honey Brook, PA USA


Parts Preferences: by brand or type - I'm open to Intel if the price would be similar, but AMD seems the route to go for the price I'm looking at.


Overclocking: No


SLI or Crossfire: No


Additional Comments: Like I said game she's playing now is WoW, but I'm building this with A realm reborn in mind. Already have a 650w PSU on hand so I won't need one.
