Tell me what you think and give me advice on what I can change and still fit into my budget.
CPU and MOBO combo - $330.99 - $50 = $280.99 (920: -$31 total)
AMD Phenom II X4 940 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Black Edition Processor Model HDZ940XCGIBOX - $225.00
or
AMD Phenom II X4 920 2.8GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDX920XCGIBOX - $194.00
BIOSTAR TFORCE TA790GX 128M AM2+/AM2 AMD 790GX HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - $105.99
GPU and PSU combo - $139.98 - $15 = $119.98
SAPPHIRE 100225L Radeon HD 3870 512MB 256-bit GDDR4 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - $79.99
APEVIA WIN-500XSPX 500W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply - $44.99
Memory - G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F2-8500CL5D-2GBPK - $31.99
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 ST3250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - $54.99
Case - COOLER MASTER Elite 330 RC-330-KKN1-GP Black SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - $39.99
DVD-R - LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS30 - $23.99
Total - $551.93 + $15.99 = $567.92 ($537.92 if MIR is applied) [920: $546.92 ( $516.92 if MIR is applied)]
Im on a $500 - $570 budget. I don't want to go over my budget, but preferably I want to go lower.
I usually play combat arms, freestyle street basketball, and gunz with average 25 FPS on my crappy $150 computer. (I know )
When I make the new computer I'm planning on playing games like GTA IV, COD4, and Fall out 3.
I'm wonder if there is a big difference between Phenom II 940 and 920.
If the difference is not that significant tell me what GPU I can get to improve my gameplay with the little leg room I get from switching to the 920.
As much as I love gaming, I don't want too much on gaming. (I'm a student)
I know its not fun to help a guy with a low budget compared to some one with $1000 budget, but PLEASE HELP!!!
Thank you
