$550 Budget Gaming PC? HELP

[FangedBeast]

What's your build now?

I'll suggest a 6670 for now...

Do you plan to do anything else other than BF3 and dayZ?

If not, than a decent i3 will probably suffice (seeing as you say it will not be permanent)

Sure,
SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7750 11202-00-20G Video Card
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition 3.4GHz Socket AM3 Quad-Core Processor
Foxconn A9DA ATX AMD Motherboard
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory
Rosewill Stallion Series RD450-2-SB 450W Power Supply
Western Digital WD Blue 500GB 3.5" SATA 6.0Gb/s Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
LITE-ON Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model iHDS118-04
AZZA Toledo 301 (CSAZ-301) Black Computer Case

All together w/o shipping = 519.92

THats the point when you know your PC is getting old. When someone can get a hell of a lot better machine cheaper than what I originally paid for mine :P

Looks great though, have fun with it

Yes, I will upgrade in the future and I am planning big things with this computer. I will play GW2, PS2, and other good games. idk if I can play PS2 yet. But I can't build this till' I get my tax return / refund or even if I do. :/. This is essential as this is where I'll get the money.

PS2 isn't optimised atm - just saying.

What's your build now?

Same. I'm just saying the game will prolly be optimized from an update by the time I build it.

Thanks! Any recommendations?

Thanks! Any recommendations?

As I mentioned in the other thread, Corsair and Seasonic are probably the two best PSU brands you can get. If you get a decent 80+ PSU, you should be set. Just find the proper wattage and get one. Remember though, sacrificing a little bit of money for a cheap PSU has a good chance at costing your entire system if the crappy one fails.

[Romney]

True, PSU could have more wattage..... I suggest maybe a 550W or a 600W.... maybe even 750W if the budget allows..

[Scruffy]

No need for 750w at the moment. It'd just be a waste

[Symboliq]

Anyone have any good 600w PSUs that cost a reasonable price?

[Liteaku]

Hrm, I may be wrong but!
The CPU doesn't say it supports Dual or Quad-Channel RAM, however the Mobo supports Dual-Channeling and the RAM supports Quad-Channeling; will this not cause problems?

Anyway, if you're looking for a good 600w PSU,
try this
or this.

I recommend the the first of those two.

[ray4139]

Get a corsair, one of the most reliable PSU's out there.
