• $1050 Build - Is this any good? Gaming Computer.

Hi guys, I'm finally at the point that I desperately need a new computer. (After procrastinating for years.) I've put together this so far - and I'd like to know if it's any good, or if there are better options that would provide more power yet not surpass my $1050 budget.

overkill psu
Well, personally, i5/i7 are pretty much wastes ([i]in my opinion[/i]) If you're going for a 1050, perhaps AMD or a LGA775 quad. Oh, and you don't [i]really[/i] need 750w

Okay. What power supply would you guys suggest? And Razzie, what's wrong with 5000 series cards?

[QUOTE=rampageturke;20060665]do you NEED 1.5 tb hdd?[/QUOTE] Probably not, but for 120 dollars, I figured why not?

[QUOTE=Inacio;20060701]Also, can't you get a better video card? Like a 5850 or even 5870?[/QUOTE] well with my suggestions he might be able to now :downs:
[QUOTE=McMissile;20060682]Probably not, but for 120 dollars, I figured why not?[/QUOTE] Get a Samsung Spinpoint F3 and dump the rest into a better graphics card. Ninja'd :ninja:
Thanks, added the hard-drive. How much extra would a 5850 or 5870 cost?

[QUOTE=rampageturke;20060748]$50 more you could.... sorry, dont know how to puplic wish list shit on newegg[/QUOTE] Thanks. I think I might be able to do that. How much of a performance boost would that give me?
[QUOTE=McMissile;20060767]Thanks. I think I might be able to do that. How much of a performance boost would that give me?[/QUOTE] a 5770 is a little less powerful than a 4890. A 5850 is pretty much equal to a 4870x2, but with DX11, Eyefinity, ect

I do like the price... But I don't know a whole lot about AMD processors. How would that one compare to a i5-750?

Even my Q6600 @ 3.0 doesn't really increase frames in games (unless they enable multicore processing)

It seems like in running processes the AMD Phenom outperforms the 750 (Either that or I'm reading it wrong) And the 750 outperforms the Phenom in gaming fps. I really am at a loss as to which one to get. If anyone else has some input based on experience or something like that, I would be very appreciative.

So in your opinion the 945 is a better buy?
