Help with Spects

[posto5]

I want to build up a new desktop PC to myself. It has to be robust, but no need to be cutting edge. I mainly use if for games and some 3D applications. Because I live in a country where technology costs a lot because of taxes, I would like to have 2 alternatives, one Intel based and the other AMD based. I have no intention to overclock it. Could you please help me out? Thanks and regards.

will you be building it yourself?

 

[posto5]

Yes, I will, or at least I will try.

 

[jonpaul37]

what country are you from? and how much are you willing to spend? (US dollars)

And what parts do you have available locally?

 

[posto5]

Parts from major manufacturers can be found in the local markets, but I am not sure if they will correspond to the same models found elsewhere. The latest models are not easily found, but one or two behind the latest I believe shouldn't be too hard to find. Also, components, such as water cooling systems are hard to find and also very expensive. Regarding prices, the rule is, US retail price x 2.

So far, following the help from someone else, I am thinking about the following Intel based configuration.

1x PLEXTOR 24X DVD/CD Writer Black SATA Model PX-880SA
1x COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Retail

Psoto, that is a very decent build you have projected, i would consider an aftermarket heatsink/fan as well as getting a different Power Supply, maybe a Corsair or PC Power & Cooling. anything from those brands will last a while and you shouldn't really need to go past 650 watts as anything more would be overkill.
