| 1306668 | 2012-10-13 13:16:00 | in a gaming system the most important parts are the psu, gpu, cpu, mobo ram, everything else in that order. That psu doesn't sound fantastic, I would cull some of the ram, add more later in order to beef up the psu and graphics card if you can. Also don't forget to factor in the cost of the OS, keyboard, etc. You can ask many retailers for a bundle deal if you're buying a full system of components from them though. |

| 1306670 | 2012-10-13 18:16:00 | Multiplayer in 1080p at highest settings? No way. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1306671 | 2012-10-13 19:26:00 | Processor - Intel Latest Core i5 3450 Ivy Bridge 3.1GHz 6M L3 Cache LGA1155 Processor Memory - 8GB DDR3 Memory Hard Drive - 1TB SATA2 Hard Drive DVD Writer - 22x Speed Optical DVD Writer PC Case - Aywun A1-923,Black mid tower ATX case Full Mesh Front Panel & Pre-Installed 500W PSU(Max Power) , ext.5.25"x3/3.5"x1, int3.5"x6, front audio& USB Video - 6770 Fan 1GB GDDR5 128-bit, 850/4800 MHz, 2x Dual-Link DVI, HDMI, DP, DX11, Fan Brand of parts matters. Motherboard, Graphics - Gigabyte or ASUS. PSU - Corsair, Enermax or Antec. Never buy a generic PSU bundled with case. Hard drive, Seagate or Western Digital. And the GPU you have is not that wonderful....the single most importnat component in a gaming machine is the GPU. |

| 1306672 | 2012-10-13 20:14:00 | something like a radeon 7850 would be able to play probably about high settings and the 7850 can be overclocked tons | jonovw (16835) | ||
| 1306673 | 2012-10-13 20:23:00 | Yeah you could save money and go for like an i5 2500 to get a better gpu. As the gpu is the most important and in most gaming builds ends up being the most expensive part. | Slankydudl (16687) | ||

| 1306676 | 2012-10-14 01:37:00 | As mentioned before, you need to consider a better PSU than the 400W. Something like below www.pbtech.co.nz |
