hi sirs/madams,
i am have asked a local computer sales store to build a pc for me. my original budget was going to be in the 500-650$ range but i did not account in for the labor that they had to include which would be putting the parts together, installing windows,..etc.
anyways here is my rig, i wanted to know if there is any other graphics card or processors that u guys reccomend instead of the one that i have listed... but i want it to be similiar in price and if not better in performance.. or reccomend me one that is the same performance and cheaper in price,.. this rig was total is 830$... so probably it was in reality 700$ but they boosted it for labor... do u think 830$ is still a good price, please comment. thanks.here is the rig:
Also here are the key questions that i want to ask:
1. i know the intel cpus are better but amd is cheaper.. should i still switch to a intel i3 or something for same price? is there a better amd i should get?
2. the graphics card... is that the best i can get for under 100$?
3. good enough ram?
4. i will be playing CS:S,CS:S (upcoming new css), TF@ ( i really really want to play this game on max settings with very good fps), possibly bf3 and new COD
