Looking for advice on my build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nwOj
Budget is $550 but my absolute max is $600
The computer will be used mostly for gaming but I don't care about running everything on max settings just looking to get no lag or hiccups. Mostly play LoL and WoW but every once in a while I'll play a new game that comes out since I don't have a console.
Thanks in advance.
Just a few things to change if you wish to stick with AMD
CPU: [url=http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=46281&vpn=HDZ965FBGMBOX&manufacture=AMD&promoid=1368]AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black[/url] ($50 cheaper but the GPU is most important in a gaming build)
GPU: [url=http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=76218&vpn=02G-P4-2651-KR&manufacture=eVGA&promoid=1397]EVGA GeForce GTX 650 2GB[/url] ($50 more expensive but evens out because of the CPU) (and a $10 rebate that you could put towards the RAM)
HDD: Either [url=http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00461G3MS/?tag=pcpapi-20]Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB[/url] or [url=http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=74462&vpn=WD10EZEX&manufacture=Western%20Digital%20WD&promoid=1368]the 1TB version[/url] ($5 and $25 more, respectively)
RAM: [url=http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104333&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=]Kingston HyperX 8GB[/url] ($5 cheaper)
Should be $10 cheaper or $15 more depending on how much storage you want, but either way, wait until Black Friday to save some more cash
Everything else looks good
VIDEO CARD... theres one reason i am recommending this, but only if you decide to do so for later on because of your mobo. Your mobo doesnt support SLI it only supports Crossfire. So if you decide to do dual gpu's later on you'd be better off at this point with an amd for future upgrade.The 7770s are great bang for the buck, plus right now free FAR CRY 3... just a suggestion for the future ahead if you decide. to run dual gpus.

I found a 560ti with a rebate and canged the build to this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nxw7
What do you think, are the motherboard and video card compatible or is there a different video card that will get the job done thats cheaper?
read my link and post above. cheaper, gives you optn with ur mobo specs to add dual gpu later on if decided. if you want to stick with nvidia and no dual gpu in future, then go with card FoxSpectre suggested.
Ok, thanks.
Your 560ti will be faster than the 7770 by a lot.. Just sayin
