Building My Gaming Comp... Good?

[Ridalgo]

Okay, so my integrated GPU Laptop is really just making me want to hit my head on the wall. So I decided to build a gaming laptops for around $500-600 dollars. I have picked out my parts and was just wondering if this is all I need (excluding OS & Wireless card) and if this is good, which games and what graphics levels do you expect this to play?

Tell me what you think, thanks!

Hi mate, certainly not a gaming pc. The gpu and cpu are low end, so if you plan on playing the newest games at 1080p or higher resolution, you will need to upgrade these.

However if you're happy with playing games at medium to low detail at 1080p you should be ok.

Id replace the following

Motherboard $55

Graphics card $165

CPU $119

PSU $40

All up $379 as apposed to your original cost for the above components of $387. Save yourself nearly a $10 plus you get 2 free games.

The sandy bridge is as good (slightly faster) and more power efficient and produces less heat, much faster GPU (especially when overclocked), and quality yet sufficient PSU. Also a better quality motherboard.

Thanks man! Made those changes! What do you think the performance will be like?

Pretty damn good hey!

Why not spend the 10 on 3220. 4300 wont game @ 1080P or higher??

also the 300 is tight for wiring and a little flimsy, try and price the 302
it's a way better case , regards

 

[gigabiteme]

also if u go antec 300 or 302 make sure you get the special adaptor cable for usb port on mobo to front usb on case antec has a weird set up there., regards

I wouldn't get the 300 or the 302. Instead, I'd get the Corsair Carbide 300R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139011 it costs the same as the 302 but is a much better and newer case.
