Oh so you already have the 760? Okay so you won't have to cheap out on the processor.

ya I got it for sim city last august cause the default one on my PC was just crap.

I'm going to be giving my dad my PC I currently use, and we're using the insurance money to get a new one for me.

The GTX 760: When you want super performance on gaming, but you don't want to spend super performance money.

Insurance is giving us $600 for a new PC after the lightning strike. I'd like something that can suit my games. It also needs to fit a gtx 760.

suggestions?

How many of the parts did you test and they work? If you're lucky only the PSU fried.

Assuming you already have a case and DVD drive: http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Chipskate/saved/rPP7YJ
It's $10 over budget, but if you drop the aftermarket CPU cooler and stick with the stock for a while you'll slip just under the limit.

i5 is a lot more money. the 6300 is almost similar to the i5-4570, so there's really no point.

aww yiss

perhaps I should invest in one of them newfangled 6gb/s motherboards.

Kira100000 · December 02, 2014, 12:42:29 AM
