Any suggestions on how I can make my build cheaper? (I just threw in a high watt/low price PSU.)
(this is my 2nd online-build.)

[B](Also if someone could give the approximate graphics settings that the games below could run well with this build, please do<3)[/B]

Arma 2
Minecraft
Source games (Not too worried. these run near perfect on my current $500 laptop hue)
Battlefield 3
Arma 3

Also, would it do very well recording DURING these games? (With Dxtory/fraps)

Cheers

Get the asus z97-a instead, its a way better mb. Msi is way skimpy on their vrms amd z97 overclocks better. I would get a 280x instead for $260 or reach out a bit and get the 290 for $360. Get the 600w for $50. Get the 200r? Get the a-data ram.

No difference

[Lilyo]

Other than the frequency...

[Levelog]

Yeah. Although RAM speed does not matter much, 1333cl9 is where you start to have noticeable slowdowns.

If you use something like start8 or classicshell, windows 8 essentially becomes a smarter and faster win7. There's no real reason not to get it

Have you even used it?

Yeap, my mom's laptop runs windows 8

[Lilyo]

Its literally identical to 7

Always buy Seasonic power supplies. Corsair CX series have garbage capacitors.

[Lilyo]

Corsair psus are rebranded seasonic

[Levelog]

[QUOTE=Lilyo;44965695]Corsair psus are rebranded seasonic[/QUOTE]

Not true. The AX series are rebranded seasonics. The CX series are Channelwell, with the exception of the CX400

Generally seasonic PSU's are what you want to look for for high wattage, while FSP's are good for budgets

[Lilyo]

Oh I was thinking of the AX then. CWT is still a good manufacturer. I've never used an XFX psu, but I just noticed theyre built by seasonic. Why don't more people recommend xfx for budget builds? $30 for a 550w seasonic build is a pretty good deal. I wish they made semi modular psus around the same price range as the cx.

[Prometh3us]

NZXT psu's are damn nice too.

[Levelog]

XFX's are very nice. I'm most likely picking up [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207021&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID="]this[/URL] bad boy when I pick up my second 680.
