Need suggestions for $700 build

[beerope]

Need help with suggestions for a ~$700 build, already have a 23 inch 1080p monitor and Windows 7, no need ODD. I have a 750gb WDblue from an old pc, but it has BSOD issues although not sure if the HDD thats causing it, can reuse the HDD? Main use is to play next year's games like GTA V smoothly, so no need SSD as IO slow not a problem for me.

Card i have in mind is the GTX 760, for mobo I want something that can support SLI so I can go dual GPU in the future when my build cannot support games anymore. Also i heard EVGA has got international warranty, so is shipping a EVGA 760 from amazon a wise option? Gumxia in advanced

I suggest u u your budget. For sli config board minimum you need is a z board. Z board plus a normal i5 would cost already $450.

Yah.. Unless TS willing to go x-fire.. Then B85 boards will do and is cheaper by a $100++..

just 1 single GTX760 can tahan play GTA 5 at high on 1080P?

Also, is there a way to use wifi? Will it slowdown speed on 200mbps fiber if I use wireless?

At high settings with no AA, 1080p still possible. 1440p doubt so. But frankly, there isnt a benchmark anywhere for GTZ V pc... so, its very hard to say if it is able to support high settings... dun even know if its comign to PC or nt

wireless will definitely bottleneck the MP experience... Best is still wired.

Possible ar. And fyi gtx760 the cheapest is already $355.

WiFi can be used via a card or wireless adapter. Even you have 200mbps the speed won't give out 200. With wireless you probably get a quarter of it.

For $700 try to squeeze something out for you.

You can't get an SLi board for sure. And you can't hold a gtx760 for that budget.

But an alternative card you can consider would be the 7850 which is the minimum standard you might wanna consider. And also in future run 2 cards on Crossfire rather than SLI.

For $700

Asrock B75M-DGS + i5-3470 ~ $297
Powercolor 7850 2gb PCS ~ $240
Kingston value Ram 4gb ~ $45
FSP Raider 550W ~ $78
Sharkoon MS140 ~ $52

Reuse HDD, Reuse OS, and monitor.

Total $712 build at tradepac. Can ask for discount to meet budget.
