Please state games you want to play on mid-high settings.

Mid-high on minecraft can use integrated gpu
Mid-high on crysis 3 $1200 isn't going to be enough

Mostly new game which release this time.

if i scale down to 720p instead will budget be enough for mid-high end?

I need to use for school project so prefer to get a pc as long can have the same graphic like ps3, xbox or better is fine with me.

if you dont want SSD 1200 sure ok

3470 + Asrock B75 + pro 3 = 325
1 x kingston 8gb DDR3 Ram = 77
1 x hitachi 1tb hdd = 80
Samsung DVD Rom = 21
sharkoon t28 = 86
powercolor 7950 = 385
FSP plat 550w = 125
Win 7 hp 64 bit OEM = 115

total 1217
Tradepac

CASH IS KING, will get you some discount

if cost is too high u can always drop to fsp raider 550w which is 78 but non modular

if you dun need OS u can easily put a SSD in

3470 + Asrock B75 DGS = 306
1 x kingston 8gb DDR3 Ram = 77
1 x hitachi 500gb hdd = 60
Samsung DVD Rom = 21
bitfenix merc alpha = 59
powercolor 7850 pcs+ = 249
FSP raider 550w = 78

if u want kb and mouse and mouse like Razer then its really out of the qsn

with the remaining money left you can get a 20" or 21.5" monitor

but keyboard and mouse i suggest you fork out abit more for those

dota 2 not very high requirements actually, lag means internet lag

if you really want to buy a new rig can suggest

3470 + Asrock B75 DGS = 306
1 x kingston 8gb DDR3 Ram = 77
1 x hitachi 500gb hdd = 60
Samsung DVD Rom = 21
bitfenix merc alpha = 59
powercolor 7770 pcs+ = 166
FSP raider 550w = 78
Win 7 hp 64 bit OEM = 115

total 882

this setup u can still play other current games in the mid settings, in future just buy a new gpu if u want to play other graphics intensive games will do

actually hwc recommendations are better

cos those shops bundle may not be the optimal choices for ur needs.

and for the given price there are better substitutes available.


anyway the shops i recommend would be fuwell,bell,pctheme.

If you want to play safe, go for established shops like Fuwell, Bizgram or PC Themes but be prepared to pay more.

Personally, I don't really like PC bundle package offer by the shops. Either the parts they use are a bit mismatch or the parts they use are not very good.
