ps4 games could be shares with millions..daveg1thanks for that... I find being able to share with 10 friends EASILY, a lot more practical than the possibility of sharing your game physically with millions. Not even sure why that's considered important to you
Thanks for your advice! I like where this is going. So I'm thinking a 7950 and a XFX 650W. Could potentially OC that 7950 to 7970 clocks too, so it seems like the better option, save a bunch. you cant go wrong with 7950 and if you want to save even more 7870 is a great choice. Both cards will last a while even for 1080p gaming, Great! I think I'll stick with the 7950 cause I can definitely afford it :P Thanks for you help! Hopefully I'll order today or tomorrow7970 is way overkill for 720p I'd say drop down to 7870. 7870 still is overkill for 720p and even at 1080p is a great card. Plus 7870 consumes less power and runs cooler another option is 7950. That way you can take advantage of AMD offering 3 games free with 79xx series and save about $100 from 7970 ( 78xx series offer is one free game
Your current rig it can probably go between $200-250

To cut costs you can get a less beefy PSU. And if you're not planning to play on anything else than your 720p TV you can drop down to a HD 7950 GPU too without making it any worse.spittis

Hello. I am looking to build a new pc with the hopes of maxing out everything for a while at 720p (that's my TV's max res lol :( )
Budget was 1000-ish CAD reusing mouse+keyboard+sound+display from my current rig. Thoughts?

XFX 750W- 105$
Mushkin Chronos 120GBSSD - 85$
Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200RPM- 75$
MSI Radeon HD 7970 925MHZ 3GB 5.5GHZ- 360$
Intel Core i5 3570K UnlockedIvy Bridge - 230$
MSI Z77A-GD55 ATX- 130$
Patriot Viper Xtreme 8GB 2X4GB DDR3 1866MHZ PC3-15000 9-11-9-27 1.65V XMP Ready- 50$
All parts are from NCIX. With a couple other things, it comes out to 1145 before tax.
I was thinking to help cover the over-budget bit, I can sell my current rig, do you guys think I could get a solid 250 bucks for this:
coolermaster 690 case
Gigabye P35-DS3L LGA775
Corsair HX520 520 Watts
OCZ Platinum XTC DDR-2 800 2x1GB
EVGA Geforce 8800 GTS 512MB
Hitachi Deskstar 250GB 7200RPM
Core2Duo E8400 3.0 GHz
Vista
Thanks for your help!
Hi guys, I built my last rig five years ago february, when the first Crysis was released. Obviously it's definitely time for a new build, but for the sake of tradition, I was going to wait until february of this year. Fortunately, I managed to get the money right now, so it is becoming really hard to resist.
I was wondering if there is anything worth waiting for until february. A google search didn't seem to show anything, but to be sure I thought I'd ask the knowledgeable crowd :P
Thanks!
