new budget

[bigmac9787]

I recently had my new gaming rig budget just about cut in half because of some home improvments I will soon have to pay for. My new price range will be in the $700-$800 range this will include everything except the monotor, mouse, and keyboard. I need some help picking out new parts. I was going to get a I5-2500K and a 6950 2gb, but now im thinking about AMD and a 6870.

Any help will be awsome, I am building the rig for the upcoming MW3,BF3,Skyrim, and Diablo 3 I know I probally will not be able to max all setting but thats ok as long as I can still play.

i say still go for the I5-2500K and a 6950 2gb, but try to cut your budget elsewhere, is there any other parts you were looking at? and do you need windows too? and is the currency in USD?

 

[bigmac9787]

yea USD and I will need windows 7. I was looking and everything I came up with on new egg was over budget with the 2500k and the 6950.

 

[ixiboneheadixi]

hmm let me try to look

 

[ixiboneheadixi]

if you can get the 900, first thing would be a higher mobo, the asus 990x's and gigabyte 990fx between 140 and 150, then i'd look at a cheap ssd i guess, otherwise this is perfect, also there are 2 promos, the 965 and the psu have 15 and 10 off, and there is also 50 in 3 rebates, so you should get 2 or all of them probably, but don't count on rebates.

 

[ixiboneheadixi]

and how big of a harddrive do you need?

 

[ixiboneheadixi]

well if you could bump up your price to just under 1000 i have a build that might max things out

 

[bigmac9787]

post it and ill see i might can do that not sure

ok just over 100 and IMO its worth trying to shave off a few bucks from your home imporvements for

well remember he started out wanting 7-800, then bonehead got him considering 1000, but somewhere with a combo of all the parts we've said you can find what works for you.
