Hey guys, I'm getting super hyped for Star Citizen and so is my friend but he doesn't have a gaming pc. He's willing to spend $700 and he would like to be able to play it on high at a comfortable fame rate (45-60+). I tried to put a build together and I'd love some input
not a fan of the PSU... stick to Corsair, Seasonic, XFX, and Fractal PSUs.... on top of that 700w is major overkill... a 500w will be fine... with that case you'll want it to be semi/fully modular as well...
I prefer Asus mobos as well... but that's just do a bad experience I had with Gigabyte so it's admittedly biased... I do prefer the 990 chipset, though the 970 with will work for a FX6300...
if you need to cut costs you can shave $50 off the GPU with a 7870 GHz edition (or 270x) that will give similar performance...
so smaller, better PSU... better mobo... shave the cost on the GPU and go AMD
