Yes, yes I can.

1. You don't need more than 8GB RAM for gaming, games simply don't utilize that much.
2. i5-3570k beats the FX series when it comes to gaming
3. The Corsair AX PSU is fully modular and is much more effective than the Azza PSU.
4. You don't need a soundcard for gaming, onboard is more than good enough.
5. The Thermalright Silver Arrow is on the same performance as the Corsair H100 (Which is better than the H60 you listed)
6. Chose a bigger SSD, a more solid harddrive than those generic harddrives than iBuyPower gives you.
7. Chose a much better monitor, comes with pre-calibration too.
8. There's no difference in pixels between 23 & 24 inches.
9. The 7970 GHz completely annihilates the 7750 crossfire, especially in games that doesn't benefit from crossfire efficiently.

The problem is I dont know how to build a computer which is why i was shopping at ibuypower.

[inux94]

It's very easy, like lego for adults.



Just do a little research, otherwise you will never learn. It's basically like learning to ride bicycle, you'll gain from it for the rest of your life.

The hardest part of building a computer is picking the right parts. Building a computer is so incredibly simple actually. Just watch a few YouTube videos and you can save $500 and get a rig that will crush the ibuypower rig in every way.

[Beno]

Im not from the states myself but have looked at the newegg site a few times - dont they build to order? Not sure what shipping or pickup would be like however. Maybe grabbing it all from there might be an idea?

Im not sure Ill look into it. Ill probably build a computer at some point, but im afraid ill mess it up.

[inux94]

You can't really mess it up, only thing that has a slight chance to get messed up is your CPU due to the pins on the back.

Basically, if you're using too much force to fit something in, it's probably not in the right area.

[Chickat]

If something breaks during installation will the warranty cover it generally? That would make me feel much better.

Also what kind of frame rate would that computer you recommended get in say battlefield 3, gw2, and wow? I'd like to have everything maxed, but i can live with medium-high in battlefield and gw2.

Not if you break it, no. Just take your time and you'll be fine. Here is another video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls

[Martinussen]

Wow will run ultra no problems, even better when OC'ed

i dont know how GPU/CPU dependant GW2 and BF3 is, but im still 98% sure they'll both run at ultra with no problems.

The 7750 is a HTPC card, not really meant for gaming.

[Deleted]

Dude really:


So extremely easy.

He explains it well. I did it via this video. Though your CPU cooler may vary.

[Milkshake86]

The 7750 is a HTPC card, not really meant for gaming.

7750 is the absolute bottom line gaming card, 128bit says right away its an entry level gaming gpu, it will not however BF3 @ 1920x1080 on ultra not even remotely playable atleast, it will play TF2 and WoW 10m's.

Im talking about his computer he built. How would that run games.

[Tehterokkar]

Im talking about his computer he built. How would that run games.

My build is a bit older than that and I can run every game at Ultra1920x1080

My setup
i5-2500k @ 4.3GHz
ASUS GTX 580 DCU II
Kingston HyperX 1333MHz 2x 4GB

Runs BF3 at Ultra at over 70 FPS on some maps(GPU is OC'd a lot) and WoW 25m raids at over 40 FPS easily all ultra(No Multisampling)

[Chickat]

How would i go about overclocking? Is that something I should do with no experience. Also can the cooling system handle it.

[Deleted]

easy with the cooler that inux used in that build list.
also oc'ing is cakewalk on sandy/ivy just tweak the multiplier gets most people to 4-4,2 ghz

[Chickat]

Im waiting on my college loans to buy it in January. Will this still be a good build then, or will I need to ask for a new build?

[Deleted]

with a moderate OC and perhaps SLI in a year or 2/3 your good for the next 5 years i think (that is assuming no major tech breakthrough regarding high end gpu/cpu, which seems kinda likely with focus being on tablets/mobile devices)
