help with gaming rig for COD ghost

[legolaslee]

Hi guys, just wanna check is this rig good for playing games like COD ghost?

Intel Core i5 3470 & Asrock B75 PRO3 M ~ $314
Powercolor 7950 3gb ~ $318
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz DDR3 Ram ~ $89
Wd blue 1tb ~ $78
Samsung oem drive ~ $21
Reuse case (CM Centurion 5)

Superflower HX600 600w 80+ Gold ~ $109
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit OEM ~ $115

I see many recommending asrock b75m dgs. whats the difference between b75 pro3 m and b75m dgs?

 

[shadow84]

The amount of sata ports, usb 2.0 and usb 3.0 on both rear port and internal headers.

DGS only got 1 pciex16 slot and 1 pcie slot. And only has 2 ram slots.

 

[royfrosty]

To add on. DGS has only 1 SATA 6gbps port and 3 other 3gbps port.

But if you willing to spend till $314 might as well go haswell entry level mobo.

Maybe please indicate what you need and whats your budget.

I see. my budget is less than 1k. can exclude OS and casing since I already have it.

If you are on a tight budget the b75m dgs will do just fine. Remember gaming relies more on your GPU. Rather you channel that mobo money to a GPU instead. If you channel everything to just mobo it won't bring any form of performance value for gaming.

I see. Thanks for the advice. Isit ok to remove the ssd so that budget is lowered.

 

[shadow84]

Best not to.. But if bo bian, den leave it out.

Actually what does the ssd do? If not necessary then I may not wanna get it.

FYI - Solid-state drive

In short, it is a much faster version of HDD.

COD Ghost doesn't require much horsepower despite the hype and so on. The budget can be lowered actually. Totalbiscuit, a famous youtube game reviewer, mentioned that COD Ghost doesn't run well on a 5k system due to optimization issues till date (irony). So a very low end budget should suffice.
