Can someone help me build a gaming desktop pc?
i5 3450 CPU - http://goo.gl/7Re5i $175 Gigabyte GA-B75-D3H - http://goo.gl/kGM6x $75 Thermaltake V4 Black edition - http://goo.gl/4QcRM $45 CX430 - http://goo.gl/nJu2L $40 Gigabyte 7850 - http://goo.gl/Xkq5u $175 1TB WD Blue - http://goo.gl/P1Ajd $80 DVD Drive (If you dont have one) - http://goo.gl/WZ5WB $18 That would add up to about $608 (Only 590 if you move your old DVD Drive over). However, if you were planning to get another card and crossfire (ie. dual cards), I would recommend the cx600 instead of the cx430 @ $75 (http://goo.gl/v1Xz2). The Windows 7 isos (which can be burnt to disc) are available here: http://goo.gl/jlX2a. If you are really short on cash, the i3-3220 is still decent for gaming, but is not very good at multi-tasking, and is only $130 as opposed to $175 (http://goo.gl/WZ5WB), which will take the total cost down to $573 (or $555 if you use your old DVD drive) This computer would easily handle DayZ and GTA V. Good luck and merry christmas :)
