Yeah you could go with that. Upgrade the graphics card to the gtx460 1GB version and change the powersupply to the Corsair CMPSU-650TXV2. Then you are golden. You are still getting ripped off if you order from there.
This would play the games you want to play, although not much more.
It also won't be very upgradeable, as socket FM1 is only for APUs and the PSU is rather weak.
Good idea but he doesn't need a 2TB HDD and he doesn't need 8GB of RAM. Use the saved money for a better PSU.
Stop arguing and help this guy out! :biggrin.gif: I would say he should go with a Phenom II x4 build with his budget. If it was another 200 or so then the i5 would be good.
I got people who can upgrade the parts though so it's not a problem.
Thats not the problem. The problem is that their products are overpriced and their cases are ****. They also have the worst part configurations. Like thisfor example, they are charging 1.5k for an i7 960 and a HD 6450, a 6450. Its another $250 to upgrade to an HD 6870 when the card its self doesnt even cost that much. Then from 9GB of RAM to 12GB, they charge
$120. And who needs 24GB of RAM? Get the point? Not trying to be harsh but this is the truth.
