Sorry to interrupt, but your talk about i7s is, I fear, a bit out of my league. I don't want to fight for any last fps. I just want a reasonably prized computer that can run up-to-date games well enough and maybe next year's games on reduced settings. So, I've come up with a new build:
Code:
Intel Core i5-3350P Box, LGA1155
MSI B75A-G43, Intel B75, ATX, DDR3
8GB G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9
be quiet! PURE POWER L8 500W
XFX Radeon R9 270 Core Edition, 2GB GDDR5, 2x DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort
WD Red RD1000M 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB
This one would cost me 615€. I chose an older ivy bridge i5 that's been recommended on tomshardware. I know that the socket is outdated, but as I said, I most likely won't buy a new CPU in the next 2-3 or even 4 years (yes, I know I won't be able to play modern games by then). I could also still get a 270x.
Does this one look reasonable to you?
