[QUOTE="whiskeystrike"][QUOTE="BPoole96"]PS4 version superior with interactive comic for The Witcher 1 and 2mems_1224

Thanks for all the input.

And yes, that is pretty much what you get with 1000 euros here in Finland. Actually that build costs just over 1100 euros to be precise.

So I guess the basic build is solid. Change the psu, maybe try fitting a 7870 into the budget. I am still leaning towards keeping the SSD, since it adds just 60 euros to the overall price and judging from the Intel/Nvidia rig, speeds up boot and Windows considerably.

So I'm building a secondary PC for co-op gaming and would like to keep the price at or near 1000-1200 (under $1600). This is what I came up with, input and suggestions/replacements welcome;

AMD FX-8120 8C 3.1G 16M 125W

Asus M5A97 mobo

8Gb DDR3 1600 HYPERX

HD 7850 2G DDR 5 2xDP7DVI/HD (HD 7950 is almost a few hundred more, hoping the 7850 will do just fine)

Corsair Force 3 60GB SATA 3 SSD for Windows

WD Black 1TB SATA3

Chieftec 750W PSU

Any ideas for a good sound card? Not sure what the integrated chip on the M5A97 is like, any good? Also, the primary rig is an Intel/Nvidia setup, so I'd like to keep this one all ATI. Mainly looking to get good, if not great performance from games like Dead Island, DIII, Borderlands 2, Guild Wars 2, Aliens: Colonial Marines, FEAR 3 etc. at 1920x1200 or so.

Why do people get upset when someone has a lot of money to spend on a PC?

I certainly wouldn't consider my PC over-kill and it cost close to $3K (and that's not including the speakers).


As long as people spend their money wisely and don't do something stupid like SLI 690s, I don't see an issue.

You may not consider it overkill, but trust me my friend, you pissed away good money. Besides, spending 3 grand on a gaming PC is just as stupid as buying SLI 690s...

Why did everyone expect HOME to be like this ground breaking new thing that blows everything else out of the water.. Seriously its not a game and its free..

I never expect much from home and it is exactly what I expected.. So im content with it, but its nothing special.

Maybe because Sony and all the cows hyped it up to be the next coming of Jesus? For me though, this was to be expected. It sounded like a crappy idea and that's exactly what it turned out to be.

It will be better, simply because they've had more time to polish etc. Plus a good rig is more powerful than a console.

But what's with the formatting?
