so for her birthday later next month im buying my GF a completely new gaming computer (she hasent had a computer of her own fora very long time) Im trying to spend under $400 before customization on it. she doesent play many games. minecraft, sims 3, torchlight 2, and world of warcraft thats really about it. so id like to base this build around AMD A10 since its nice and cheap yet still can handle the games she wants to play. I was thinking something along the lines of...http://pcpartpicker.com/p/C8DH i was immediately dissapointed that the hyper 212 plus doesnt fit the A10 series (or at least ive been told that) since i happen to have a 212 plus sitting around collecting dust. I also have a spare 450watt power supply (80plus gold cert) so thats not an issue. what is an issue is the brand name of the RAM. ive never heard of them and get mixed reviews when i google them. anyone know if its worth switching to different RAM?
Also i need to get the case modified. repainted and have an image on the side pannel (just a symbol nothing too complicated) i seem to recall there being a site that you could get stuff like this done through but i cant for the life of me remmeber the name of the site. if anyone could help that would be awesome.
also if anyone sees a way to shave off a couple dollars here and there feel free to post suggestions. (theres no chance whatsoever that shell OC it so maybe i could go with a stock cooler or at least a cheaper cooler)
