advice on gaming rig

[IAmZTX]

Hello everyone! I'm actually looking to purchase HP ENVY Phoenix 810-130qe Desktop PC (sorry if i advertise this product in this particular topic, i need it for comparison)

Is there a better specifications or cost savings i can get for a price lower than the product i

mentioned above? Basically i need all the components/software (monitor, speaker, keyboard, mouse,

OS, harddisk (prefer SSD and a RPM HD)

Usage: I usually surf the website daily, play games (if better, able to support the latest games)

Budget: Less than or equal to the product mentioned. (if can get better specs, don't mind to fork in

another $200 - 300)

What is the desired specs of that com? Cause there are a few variants to customize what you need.


Furthermore may be please indicate your budget. Do you need keyboard mouse and monitor?

Won't really recommend mynextcom because their price are slightly higher and you will need to wait for confirmation since they don't keep much stocks.

My budget is around 1k to 1.3k (include monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers)

I dont think that com if you were to add i7 will not fit the 1.3k with a Monitor ba.

For DIY a typical i5 rig will do just nice.

1.3k everything in.

MSI B85M G43 + i5-4570 ~ $356
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz ~ $89
WD Blue 1tb ~ $77
Powercolor 7870 2gb ~ $241
Superflower HX500 500w 80+ Gold ~ $89
Windows 8 ~ $120
NZXT H230 ~ $109
Samsung ODD ~ $21
Dell S2340L 23inch monitor ~ $215

Total $1317

Roy ur 7870

Roy ur 7870

theres a reason why i recommended that.

A simple customize at the HP webby they offering him only the gt640 and one more card. The max was a 760 1.5gb.

And add in the 760 he would burst his budget in HP website lol.

Just giving him a rough guide on how much a diy can offer and to make comparison.

notice i have not even tell him where to get the stuffs yet also

MSI B85M G43 + i5-4570 ~ $356 (B75M-DGS + i5 3470 for sub-$300)
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz ~ $89
WD Blue 1tb ~ $77
Powercolor 7870 2gb ~ $200 - $240 (I'm out of sync for GPU prices tho)
Superflower HX500 500w 80+ Gold ~ $89
Windows 8 ~ $120 (climb mountain if want Win7 for more money saving)
NZXT H230 ~ $109 (sharkoon MS120/140 for $50)
Samsung ODD ~ $21
Dell S2340L 23inch monitor ~ $215

Total $1217

Can still maintain even after correcting GPU price

Aiya.. Distributors do deliveries twice a day.

And small shop doesn't mean no stock. I've seen bigger shops taking/borrowing stocks from smaller shops before also.

Usually if a hot item is OOS, chances are the entire SLS will not have stock also. Like the R9 290...
