Hello, I am looking to build a pretty good gaming rig that can run games such as Metro 2033, BF3, Minecraft, etc at the highest setting possible and still get good frame rates that don't affect gameplay. Also so that I can record the gameplay smoothly. Also it would be the first time building one.
The budget is 1000 dollars. Less the better. Hard to say that is enough cause I don't know much about building gaming rigs.
The only thing I would mainly want is Intel Core i5-3570k Ivy Bridge.
As for the case is Corsair Vengeance C70.
Not really necessary if someone can help build a cheaper and more efficent one. Still the the intel core... Hm... I feel like I am asking a lot... Or saying a lot.
well, lets start first off for a budget of $1000 the Corsair Vengeance C70 case is too much. I'd much more recomend this case it is the king of budget cases. but if u want something a little more high end and maybe with handles simular to the Corsair Vengeance C70, try this.
Aside from that here is the rest of the build i would recomend:
or you could go with amd. lotsa futre upgrading possible. get an 8-core 8350 for $40 less than the 3570k. amd chipset mobos are alot cheaper for many of the same features. i reccoment the asrock pro4 990fx chipset. take the money you saved with that, and get the gigabyte 7970ghz ed
As much of the last part sounds good. I am not much of an AMD person. Sadly I know the graphics card is radeon but processor wise not so much. I hear things. Unspeakable things.
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master TPC 812 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103176
If I were you, I would use that SSD as a cache for your hard drive, so it can speed up your most used programs. The graphics card should be able to max out most games, and the case is a very formiddable mid tower that can support over 10 fans if I remember correctly. The CPU cooler will allow you to do some pretty high overclocking as well. Overall, this would be a very well rounded build for around $1,010.
