Budget gaming rig.

[balston_pig]

Hi guys i am a total noob here. But will like to build a rig for gaming. Games like maplestory, dota2, skyrim, fallout kind of games. Preferably with high to highest settings.

And if possible, with upgradable potential to suit the changing technology in gaming

My budget is around $900.
I already have: mouse, kb, OS, 22" TV as monitor

Will get it around jan 2014.

Thank you in advance

thank you all for the inputs!!

I asked now because I needed some guideline to do some research first, yes I will definitely come back frequently esp during Jan when im going to buy the items

 

[balston_pig]

Hi since its Jan now, will like to ask if theres any changes? haha

I will prefer 1tb storage. budget still the same ~$900

Prices haven change much, except for 280x. Worldwide low supply whcih causes prices to go up up up.

Actually I have search around the forum, I realised for rigs around the budget range i gave, these few cards came up: Gigabyte 270x vs Zotac gtx760 2gb vs Leadtek gtx760 2gb

sorry for the noob question but can anyone enlighten me what are the main differences among these cards? thanks

A brief comparison - Geforce GTX 760 vs Radeon R9 270X.

i5-3350p + Asrock B75M-DGS
Crucial 8gb ddr3
WD blue 1TB
Zotac GTX760
Superflower HX 500
Samsung ODD
Sharkoon t28

I have decided on this, would this be a feasible rig for around $900?

Looks good. It can be better if you can cough up another $135 for 128gb ssd.

1080p or 768p?

I guess is the latter right? If spot on, you may consider downgrading GPU to squeeze out a SSD...
