Hello.
I've been going around, researching different parts and stuff.
I am not buying a pc too soon, maybe in the next 6 months, but as of now, I'd like to research different option for a build.
My budget would be ~600$
It would be used for:
Internet browsing
Gaming (Nothing too intensive)
Video editing.
I am thinking of building it based on AMD.
Intel seems too pricey for a budget setup.
So. Here are the parts I would choose:
AMD Phenom II X4 960T
If it will still be available, I'm pretty sure I'll take it. It's BE so, I would OC and par it up with ZALMAN PERFORMA CPU COOLER 1156/1366/775 CNPS10X PERFORMA
Maybe unlock it to hexa core, if I get lucky.
I wouldn't get Bulldozer, really...
The motherboard:
Now, I'm stuck here, and I'd probably choose it when I get closer to actually buying the pc.
But I'm not sure about the brand. I've heard too many bad things about ASrock and MSI, just don't know if I can trust these. I would go for GIGABYTE(?)
For the time I'd go with 4GB of RAM:
Kingston 4GB PC10600 DDR3 CL9 HYPERX KHX1333C9D3B1/4G
1333 MHz
PSU:
Not sure about this as well...?
Would it be enough with 500w or get to for example, this - Corsair CXV2 ATX 2.3 600W?
Case:
I'm pretty sure to stick with Antec THREE-HUNDRED.
Now, the GPU:
I Can't seem to figure this out. AMD/ATi or nVidia chipset? Your thoughts?
So, what I wanted to get - input and recommendations about this setup.
