Hello, TSG!
I am currently working on a budget, 1080p, some-what high settings gaming tower.
Here is what I have come up with:
(I'll be including Newegg part numbers for more info on the hardware than I can't put here)
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3P AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX AMD
-N82E16813128651
AMD FX-6350 Vishera 3.9GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Six-Core
-N82E16819113327
GIGABYTE GV-R785OC-1GD Radeon HD 7850 1GB 256-bit
-N82E16814125451
Western Digital WD Blue WD5000AAKX 500GB <-- Will eventually be partnered with an OS on an SSD. Just not now.
-N82E16822136769
OCZ Fatal1ty 550W Modular Gaming Power Supply
-N82E16817341022
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 1333
-N82E16820231276
A few notes:
-I really wasn't sure about going with the 7850 or the 7790, I decided on the 7850 only due to it performing 73% better at higher resolutions. I'm gaming hopefully on High @ 1080p.
-Went with that PSU due to wattage, red LED, and modular. Anything more efficient I'd be open for.
-WD Black is just a 5yr warranty version of the Blue, and 500GB is plenty for a bunch of games.
-I also went back and forth from the 6350 and the 8320. The difference in price is the only reason besides similar performance that I went with the 6350; and that they're both Vishera.
Any advice on what be better either for price or performance? Much appreciated!
