I am doing a build for someone, and he really likes the Orange/Black NZXT h440. Is there a MoBo, RAM, VGA Combo that is not too expensive? He is on a budget of around $600 for all three.

I got him Intel Core since Intel can outrun AMD CPU's like nothing.

I got you a G3258 and you can OC it to get the performance you need! I also got him a Z97 board to OC with.

Got you a R9 270X to get performance and then he can upgrade to a 290x Later down the line.

The case he wanted is expensive so it made it hard for me to get better parts ;-;...

I also went Overkill on the PSU incase he wants to CrossFire down the line, and for the future graphics cards that might take more power.
 
haha thanks, but I meant he had a $600 budget for the MoBo, RAM, and GPU together. his total budget is around $1200 including monitor, Keyboard, etc.

 


Oh, well there is plenty for upgrades then 😛 Want me to revamp the list?
 
Sure! That would be great! Thanks.

 


Ok! Tell me what he wants and I'll make a list for it 😛 Please Include the Peripherals he wants as well.
