DMTwired 2 Posted March 11, 2013 So i need a way to scratch off 70-150$ off this build Intel Core i5-3570K, Asus Radeon HD 7770, Thermaltake VL80001W2Z - System Build - PCPartPicker without making it too much worse. tips and suggestions appreciated. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 50 Posted March 11, 2013 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/IYgw Add a wireless card of your choice. You can change around the graphics card, it's just what I would recommend. In yours, you bought an i5-3570k, on a non-overclock motherboard, and a PSU which was not 80+ rated. That could potentially fry your PC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMTwired 2 Posted March 11, 2013 and the build u posted would avoid the frying?... also, could the 1gb graphic card interfere with newer games? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 50 Posted March 11, 2013 and the build u posted would avoid the frying?... also, could the 1gb graphic card interfere with newer games? 1 GB is a lot. The only newer games that would take advantage of it would be Crysis 3, Battlefield 3, etc. You only need more if you're doing multiple monitors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DMTwired 2 Posted March 11, 2013 i have 2 monitors, but my 2nd is the old perfect square one. but its just for side programs (ie, firefox, hlsw, ex) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian 50 Posted March 11, 2013 Not much more. You can get a 2GB 7770 then, but the impact, as long as you're not gaming on both, shouldn't be too much of a performance hit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As long as you have a decent GPU, and a 7200 RPM hard Drive, which you do, you'll be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
