Hello,
i'm reading along for some time now, and feel that i could need some final advice . To Outline my situation:
I have 650€ to spend. 700€ if it is worth it. I don't care about fancy colours, looks or company names. What i search is best gaming Performance for my money. I Plan on Upgrading in a year so focus is CPU and GPU since they are most expensive. Everything else can be changed later.
What i already have:
- Case (Full ATX HTPC from Antec not nice but will do the job)
- Hard Drives more than you might think ;-)
- Optical Drive is not needed or i can get for free
What i need:
- CPU
- GPU
- MoBo
- RAM
- PSU
- Monitor (if it fits in the Budget, i do have an alternative)
Since every combination for this money should be sufficent for browsing the web, office work an FHD Video, it's realy down to Gaming Performance.
I will be Gaming on FHD. As a Benchmark i would suggest BF3. So BF3 FHD Maxed out in playable Framerates would be great (25 FPS min would be playable for my taste)
Also i would like to have it rather quiet. It's no problem to hear it, but to hear it through my Headset isn't what i want.
What i've come up with:
1. Balanced build:
2. GPU build
3. CPU build
The Spare Money would be CPU Cooler and addon's i might need (or a 60GB SSD perhaps).
Which build would you recommend, and what changes would you apply? I'm also open to completly different approaches (AMD/ATI).
Any help is much appreciated.
Sorry for this much information. I hope you could come up with any ideas.
Thank you
