Hidingmaster 19 Posted December 31, 2012 Not too bad, processor is good. Only complaint from me is the graphics card, I prefer nvidia, overall though it should perform quite well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hidingmaster 19 Posted December 31, 2012 Thats a great processor, shouldnt have any issues with it speed-wise. I didn't even see that the video card was a radeon, i read ASUS and didnt even read the rest... (shame shame, i know). I have no issues with radeon, thats what i have in my laptop right now (1gb). I'm jelly of this set up... damn laptops.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bigga 2 Posted January 1, 2013 haha this is like my computer except the case,motherboard and videocard :P I have the exact same processor, it is great I never lag in game or anything. My CPU usage is always below 20(thats with steam, teamspeak, opera,msn,and skype) opened up. I have 8GB ram - works great for me. My videocard is a ATI Radeon HD 6770 1GB ddr5 - this shit is amazing, ran crysis on high no lag. ran saints row on ultra no lag, ran prototype 2 on very high no lag. Yours is a newer one so it SHOULD perform better than mine. Your HD(Hard Drive) is decent - 500 is kinda "small" now adays though, i would go for a 1 Terrabyte - but it's up to you. Also, get a higher wattage on the power supply. Get atleast a 650 watt, or a 750 watt. Other than that, it looks good to me :) I built mine literally a year ago ^_^ i love this bitch.

Bigga 2 Posted January 1, 2013 Also, you'll need to purchase a 6 pin connector to give power to the videocard(dunno if u knew that) but yeah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Microsoft 0 Posted January 2, 2013 idk much about computers but im pretty sure a 500w power supply isnt gunna be the best to get. i would suggest a 700w im also getting a radeon 7770 been looking at reviews for it and it runs pretty much everything on high Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian 50 Posted January 2, 2013 If you're gonna overclock, I recommend the 3570k, it's well worth the 30$, and if you really wanna be cheap, you can get the i3. It's not much of a performance loss, especially if you're not overclocking, but yeah. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
