MOTHERBOARD: MSI Z87-G41 PC Mate Socket LGA 1150 ATX Intel Moth $54.99 CPU: Intel Core i5 4670K 3.4GHz Socket LGA 1150 Boxed P $199.99 RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB DDR3-1600 PC3-12800) C $74.99 CASE: Zalman Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $44.99 GPU: EVGA 02G-P4-2765-KR NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked $269.99 DISK READER THINGY: ASUS DRW-24B1ST Internal DVDR/RW Burner - OEM $19.99 OS: Microsoft Windows 8 64-Bit Full Version) OEM $94.99 HARD DRIVE: Western Digital WD Green 1TB IntelliPower SATA 6.0 $59.99 POWER SUPPLY: EVGA 500B 500 Watt ATX Power Supply $49.99 TOTAL: $870.91 + $72.98(TAX) $943.89 In case you are wondering why the cpu and motherboard are so cheap is that microcenter does a combo deal if you buy both. I know I can get some other parts for cheaper but since I hate waiting for shipping and microcenter is right by my house I got all my parts from micro center. If anyone has any better solutions or problems with the build please post them. If you want me to add anything to the build make sure that the product is available at microcenter.

Sadly, someone broke into my house and stole some of the money when I was out. I only have around $700 to spend on the computer, so here is what I got... Msi Twin Frozr 660 OC $215 Intel Core i3 $109 Corair Vengeance Series 4gb Ram Asus p8h61 motherboard $69 Msi Tactical Case $29 Lg Disk Drive $18 Windows 7 $95 Thermaltake 430w power supply $39 WD green drive 500gb $49 Hope to see you guys in a week or so.

Maybe a gtx 660 if your lucky the price has been pretty low.

nice

Ok thanks lmao. Good luck with your build

yeah nice. Thanks for all the advice you've been giving me.

Ok I added the caviar blue drive to the build. I have $50 left for the build, what would you recommend to work in with that $50? If anyone has a skype just add me, andrew.constantin It would be easier to tell me what the parts where and I can get this done quicker so I can have these threads taken down and helix can be happy.

Sorry but I really don't have that much money I have $1000 that i've been saving up for almost a year. Sorry for making so many threads I tried to delete them but it won't let me.

if i got everything i wanted for $100 or less i would be very happy. I do plan on upgrading my ram I just want to see how the performance is with 8gb. Thanks for the advice.

as i stated in the post, that ram is unavailable at that speed and that price at micro center.

Aghh looks sweet post pics!

Please vote for your favorite build! I want a computer that you all would be jealous of! (Just Kidding), but on a serious note, please choose which one you like most, if you have any recommendations, or changes you would like to make, you are welcome to post them in the comments. Also comment a setup that you think would be nice for around $900 and I will add it to the poll!

updated version of #4 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1pz7E

I would get a bitfenix case prodigy and just stick an i5 in there with a good gpu and you sould be fine, and very easy case to move around form place to place (unless your on a plane)

thanks for the feedback guys

Hey people, would this be a good setup to run DayZ, I want at 40+ FPS on high settings, will this do? http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1pcRJ CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ Microcenter) Motherboard: MSI Z77A-G41 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($85.99 @ SuperBiiz) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($52.99 @ Newegg) Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($67.99 @ Microcenter) Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 660 2GB Video Card ($199.99 @ Microcenter) Wireless Network Adapter: Rosewill RNX-N250PCe 802.11b/g/n PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter ($17.99 @ Amazon) Case: Zalman Z11 Plus ATX Mid Tower Case ($34.99 @ Microcenter) Power Supply: Corsair Builder 430W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V Power Supply ($19.99 @ Newegg) Optical Drive: Samsung SH-224BB DVD/CD Writer ($16.99 @ Microcenter) Operating System: Microsoft Windows 8 (OEM) (64-bit) ($88.00 @ Amazon) Total: $829.91(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.) The prices might be more for some parts because I tried to get as much stuff at microcenter, because I live right by one.

Fixed

Ok thanks now im confident in this build.

Ok thanks, but what settings is that FPS at?

Thanks I like that ram it looks cool lol, I added it to my build.

Here it is, the completed product, http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1prxx If you see something wrong please say something. I've been saving up for almost a year now and it isnt easy to get this money at 16 years old.

Yeah when I posted the updated build in response to Barret I added 8gb, I will look into the graphics card also. EDIT: What about something like this? http://pcpartpicker.com/part/gigabyte-video-card-gvr795wf33gd

Ok thanks, hopefully I can get out there soon because the mac I'm on right now runs at around 30 fps on everything low. heres the keyboard and mouse I already have, http://pcpartpicker.com/part/logitech-keyboard-920002530 http://pcpartpicker.com/part/mad-catz-mouse-mcb4370800c2041
