However, I don't know which brands are decent; Sapphire and Powercolor seem to be some of the better brands. |

Woah. I didn't even see this here... Oh well. Anyways, I'm also picking out a setup now and would like a bit of help. My budget is $600 max. Kinda low, but it may go up with time/if I get my job in the next month. |

Double post/bump. In my last topic Koolkody pointed me to: http://www.maximumpc.com/article/features/build_a_500_pc_play_crysis_40fps I read it then looked it over, then read it again. I noticed I could spend some more money on it, upgrading the graphics card/CPU or something, and I could sacrafice the hard drive and disk drive for less expensive ones. (I don't need much of a hard drive because I have a 1TB NAS downstairs. Only need 150GB or so) And I don't really need a CD drive that much, because I download my games and stuff. So yeah. I need some help optimizing that build before I actually buy the stuff. (Should I make a new topic...?) |

I wouldn't suggest skimping on the disc drive. It's kind of important for things, namely installing the operating system. |
| blaman:
Maybe so. But the one they suggest is more then needed to install an OS. Even if it will take a bit longer to read. |
