I am currently putting together a Gaming PC for my girlfriend to play along with me. I play a variety of games and need to have some versatility. That said I do not want her lagging behind either. I play DayZ, EVE online, Hawken, and other titles maxed out typically.
I guess I'll start with my specs:
- MOBO: MSI 990FXA-GD80V2
- CPU: AMD FX6300 3.5Ghz Six core ( over clocked to 4.2 )
- GPU: EVGA GTX 460 ( I could just give her this one an upgrade myself as well. Although I do just fine with anything I play or stream) Some over clocking with EVGA Precision X
- Ram: 8Gbs of Mushkin 10666 DDR3
- Cooling: CPU sits under a Cooler Master Hyper N520, Case is a Tt something or other. x4 200MM cooler master fans keeps the CPU around 20C under load and the system nice and cool.
The parts I have for her already, are some of my old parts. Well All of my old parts :)
Her Specs as of now:
- MOBO: XFX nForce 750a SLI
- CPU: AMD Phenom Quad core 3.2 Ghz
- Ram: 5Gbs of PC6400
Here the issue. I need to get her a GPU, power supply, keyboard and case for at or under $300. As I said, I would not mind giving her the 460, and upgrading mine! I have been filling shopping carts online and even went to my Local TigerDirect Retail store. I am all out of ideas! Obviously I am looking for bang for my buck! If anyone has any of the parts I need for sale and would throw me a deal, that would be awesome!
PS I have HDDs and OS as well.
Thanks for the tips and suggestions!
