I'v been contemplating what computer setup for get for a while, and i decided on a Celeron g530 as processor,biostar h61mgc for mobo, radeon 6670 for gpu, 8gb ram, 500gb hard drive,wifi adapter, cheap dvd burner,nice case, and seperate 50$ psu, and win.7
I had decided on that, but today newegg had a combo sale for the i3-2120, same mobo, hdd, ram, and the only things different was the case(which had a built in psu).So, here's my dilemma: i can either go with the celeron(dual core 2.4ghz) and radeon 6670, or the i3-2120(3.3 ghz dual core) and radeon 6670.Every thing would be the same, but to stay in the same price range, i'de have to use the built in psu, instead of buying seperate. If i did use the built in psu, i would probably buy a better one in less than 6 months. Will this psu hold up untill then, or should i get the less performance setup?And is everything compatible? heres all the items.
-combo

-cheap dvd burner
-tp link high gain wifi adapter (usb)
-windows 7 home premium
andything im forgetting? or thats not compatible? Please respond asap, preferably in the next hour at max, ty.
 
The i3 will blow away the celeron. The 500w would be fine, but replace it as fast as you can. Even a corsair CX430 would be loads safer.
 
If your going to do that, might as well first see hat you can get by starting with a case that comes with a ps. The SS deal has 1 dimm so it it will run single channel.
 
Oh, everything in the builds was the same except for cpu,psu, and case. So i was going to use the same gpu with either build. The sale ended before my dad got home, though, so i will have to wait for another sale.

-Well, hopefully your dad will understand that by adding a meer 20% to the budget might keep the house from burning down or loosing a component or some components due to a cheap underpowered untrutworthy power supply, as well as have quality in every component that meets your current demands and wouldn't need any upgrades for a long time.
-The motherboard is another big consideration. Another place to not skimp to the cheaperest ;) available. These low cost combo systems are low cost for a reason and it's always the ps, mb and/or something thrown in there you don't need. 2 of the most important parts of any system.
-When saving that $100 on Windows 7 by buying OEM, your marrying the mb and os. If the mb goes out /whether its under warranty or not/ you will have to get that exact same cheap mb, and will always have that same cheaply made mb, unless you want to at THAT time pony up for a better mb + another $100 for Windows 7, again. Naww, nobody wants to do that.

So another $100 towards the already $500 budget makes big sence in more ways than one. If you can spec a build that's $665 yet have it delivered to your door for $600, not mentioning 1 mir for $15 making it less than $600, then you've almost doubled that 20% investment. And I believe I have done that - let me know.


Hope this helps.

Get the I3, you will be dissapointed in the celeron processor. Spend the money now getting something decent instead of having to spend more money later replacing the bad stuff.

I dont really need a 13-2120 to play wow/minecraft, because they're not that demanding. And my budget cant go up, so ill have to stick with 500 before shipping/tax, until get more money/bring up grades.
