Gaming Rig Recommendations

[vskeizv]

Planning to build a new gaming rig with budget of 1.5k or below if possible. Hopefully be able to play games at 1080p with max settings(BF4, Watchdog, etc). Will be getting SSD from Amazon, most probably Samsung EVO 250gb. OS required. No need monitor, odd, kb and mouse.

Samsung evo 250gb quite ex at $166. Better off getting the crucial m500 240gb at $139.99

U cant really tell the difference... many would recommend samsung, crucial or intel. but since crucial the cheapest now, just get that.
