    Prices from MSY:

    Intel Core i5 4460 $209
    MB: Gigabyte H97-HD3 $119
    RAM: 8GB Kingston 1600MHz (1x8GB) $85
    HDD: 1TB Seagate 7200RPM $65
    Graphics: Gigabyte 2GB GTX750 OC $138
    ODD: Samsung SH224 $18
    Case & PSU : Thermaltake H21 Black Case (500W PSU Incl) $78

    Total: $712

    Decent price. Poor build. The motherboard is unnecessary unless you're planning on multi-GPU/overclocking. An ASRock B85M-PRO4 will do instead ($87). The GPU is woefully underpowered.

    • theone4u on 21/05/2014 - 10:59

      Thanks for that. =)

      The motherboard is unnecessary unless you're planning on multi-GPU/overclocking

      It's not a board for multi GPU or overclocking, if you want to do those you're better off getting a Z board since they support overclocking and can have lane splitting.

      An ASRock B85M-PRO4 will do instead ($87)

      It comes with a 4460, B85 boards will require a BIOS update (unless it's new stock) in order for it to work which is just a hassle.

      The GPU is woefully underpowered.

      It can still play a lot of games at high settings at 1080p

      The build is fine IMO

        B85 boards will require a BIOS update (unless it's new stock) in order for it to work which is just a hassle.

        Oh no, you have to download the BIOS update, reboot, press F2, find the BIOS file on the hard drive (doesn't need a flash drive/CD), run it and wait 30 seconds.

          Except computers don't boot up if you have an incompatible CPU.

          Edit: the 3240 is a 1155 CPU and won't even fit on a B85 board

        • Miami Mall Alien on 21/05/2014 - 11:56

          There is also the i3 4130 (LGA 1150) at MSY for the same price as the 3240.

          Now do you have a point here as to why people need the more expensive Gigabyte mobo and why scrapping it and the i5 in favour of a better GPU, is not a better idea? Because it plainly is.

          Seems like I've offended someone's delicate fanboy sensibilities judging by your liberal use of negative votes.

      Here's a much more gaming-capable and balanced build:

      Intel Core i3 3240 $138 (5% faster than the old AMD Phenom II X4 965 Quad Core)
      MB: ASRock B85M-PRO4 $87
      RAM: 8GB Kingston 1600MHz (1x8GB) $85
      HDD: 1TB Seagate 7200RPM $65
      Graphics: Gigabyte Radeon R9 270 2GB OC OC $209 (Prices here)
      ODD: Samsung SH224 $18
      Case & PSU : Thermaltake H21 Black Case (500W PSU Incl) $78

      Total: $680

      All prices from MSY again, aside from the GPU which you'd have to source from one of those other vendors I linked.

      It can still play a lot of games at high settings at 1080p

      Define "a lot". It'll run games like Assassin's Creed IV, Metro Last Light, Far Cry 3, Crysis 3, Tomb Raider, Hitman Absolution and most other Triple-A shooters at ~30FPS or less @ 1920x1080 on High settings. Which is woeful. The only FPS it can actually push at high settings with a decent framerate is BF4.

      • Brouw3r on 21/05/2014 - 11:14

        R9 270X for the same price

        Thanks for the effort. Would it not be better to get a AMD FX 6300+ so there's room to move around in overclocking and multi-threading? I know that right now it has the same gaming performance as an i3 but it might come in handy later.

        That's a great GPU by the way. I would probably spend $50-70ish extra to get a better case and more reliable PSU.

        • Miami Mall Alien on 21/05/2014 - 11:23
          +2

          The FX 6300+ is actually the same price as the i3 3240 at MSY and the ASRock 970-PRO3 is also the same price as the ASRock B85M-PRO4; so that's certainly an option.

          The Intel I suggested merely because most folks are Intel-biased when it comes to CPUs at least; but the FX-6300 should be getting the better of the i3 3240 by about 5-10% if this review is anything to go by.

        • fryandlaurie on 21/05/2014 - 11:57

          Sweet. Wish I had some money and time to get into this all. I was very close to buying a $150 system with Q9400 and GTX 560ti last month. Sadly that fell through.

      • Miami Mall Alien on 21/05/2014 - 12:00

        Correction: Change the Intel Core i3 3240 to a i3 4130 (same price; compatible socket).

        Le sigh.

        This is my problem with building my own PCs. Every time I need an upgrade, I need to spend ages researching all the parts and find the optimum price to performance. Then spending next few years out of the loop with parts and so forth and then have to spend ages to do the research all over again for next upgrade.

      • demiurge on 21/05/2014 - 14:35

        i3's are the biggest ripoff ever. Either go i5 or just go with cheap celeron.

    • lostn on 21/05/2014 - 13:27

      It will work as a budget gaming PC, but to make it decent you'd need to change a number of things such as that GPU, raising the price and no longer making it under $700.

      • Miami Mall Alien on 21/05/2014 - 14:27
        +1

        Well it'd be a hell of a lot better for gaming than CPL's original build.

        • lostn on 21/05/2014 - 14:40

          No doubt. But a $1000 PC probably won't get as much attention as a $700 one.

          IMO, you shouldn't compromise if you actually intend to use it for gaming, but for some casual just starting to get into gaming, or buying it for one game, this has its intended audience.

        • Miami Mall Alien on 21/05/2014 - 14:50

          I don't see it as a compromise if it's going to be a gaming PC. A gaming and a heavy multi-tasking/transcoding/editing something PC? Then yes.

          True multi-threading/multi-core gaming engines are still painfully slow to arrive; everything is still GPU-dependant. The i3 range holds its own against higher-end Quad Cores just fine.

          The ASRock B85M-PRO4 is really the only sub-$100 mobo that matters.

  • inusure on 21/05/2014 - 11:04

    Hi Rep, how much it will be for the window 7/8 ( whichever cheaper) and i want to upgrade the gpu.
    My budget is $900 including OS and better Gpu.

    Thanks

  • inusure on 21/05/2014 - 17:40

    Can any tell me about the psu Case & PSU : Thermaltake H21 Black Case (500W PSU Incl)
    Is it strong enough to carry a Gigabyte radeon Rc 270x?
    I thought that psu included in a case is generally not good enough, and we need to buy a separate psu?

    Please help me, guys.

    • bentan77 on 21/05/2014 - 19:48

      The included PSU should really be considered as a 350W PSU. 270X + i3 should use around 2-250W so it should work OK but I would rather spend $25 more or so to get a better PSU.

  • MagicTsukai on 21/05/2014 - 20:21

    Hey Amar89 and other ozbargainers!,

    just a quick comparison,
    but for the WP build i mentioned before,
    is it better than this one still for price/gaming power?

    http://whirlpool.net.au/wiki/rmp_sg_whirlpoolpcs_gaming_conf…
    again: 3rd build option 762$

      I'd prefer something like this
      http://www.pccasegear.com/sc/jxf

      Pentium is basically an i3 without hyperthreading, 4GB should be enough unless you're running a lot of apps.

      But it may depend on what games you play, some will like an i5 instead so you could change change the CPU to a 4670 and 280X to a 270X.

      • MagicTsukai on 21/05/2014 - 21:08

        that looks interesting, i'll have a look into your build, and its abit cheaper too!
        Also games like CS:go, dota2, sc2, and other steam games =]

  • MrZ on 21/05/2014 - 23:53

    Replace GTX 750 Ti with GTX 660. You will actually save $11 ($189 for GTX 750 Ti OC vs. $178 for Gainward GTX 660). 660 is much better card.

    • lostn on 22/05/2014 - 12:49

      And a 660 Ti is a much better card than a 660.

      • MrZ on 22/05/2014 - 14:06

        660 Ti is no longer available - it was replaced with the GTX 760.

  • buttercrunch on 22/05/2014 - 14:12

    Got mine yesterday. Added SSD and changed the chassis/PSU to chaser one. Total 890 pickup. :) Can't wait to see how it will perform.
