Recommend a gaming rig 2k-2.5k

[undead102]

Hi most probably will be getting this rig on next saturday. Need advice for your recommendations for this budget of around 2k-2.5k. Need windows 7 os, keyboard, a 27 inch monitor, and a mid tower chassis. Will not be overclocking. This rig will be use for playing current modern games and any future pc games. Good if can last for 3 -5 years. GPU only interested in at least a 3 year warranty gpu. Most probably powercolour or msi ones.

Also need gurus here to recommend me a value for money graphics card around $200-$250. Thanks.

Thanks for the recommendations. Yes the $250 budget gpu is for my own rig. Am thinking of upgrading.
The 2k-2.5k rig I am asking is for my bro upcoming rig. So the budget is seperate. Have some questions about the recommendations.

i5-4570 + Msi b85m g43 ~ $348 - Seems ok think will get this since not overclocking and is for gaming.

G.skill Ripjaws 8gb kit ~ $110 - Seems ok will get this but will it be better to save some cost and get kingston or adata ram at around $90? Is gskill ripjaw better and faster?

Plextor m5s 256gb ssd ~ $245 - Seems good will get this but was thinking of getting intel 256gb ssd got any difference?

Wd blue 1tb ~ $78 - This one ok will get this.

Msi 280x ~ $470 - Was originally intending to get the Msi or powercolor non reference 290x is it ok? Coz with a budget of 2k-2.5k was thinking of getting the highest end single gpu which is the 290x.

Superflower hx 600 ~ $109
Samsung oem drive ~ $21
Fractal design arc midi r2 ~ $130
Win7 64 oem ~ $115

Aoc i2757fh ~ $395 - For the monitor is it better to get a 1440p 27 inch capable monitor? Since will thinking of using 290x gpu. Or stick with 1080p 27 inch monitor. Was thinking of dell, samsung or other brand.

Keyboard ~ $100-200 (See which type u like..) - Keyboard thinking of getting the cheapest mechanical keyboard but if too expensive then a normal membrane keyboard will do.

Thanks for the recommendations.

If I am not wrong, the Kingston or ADATA RAMs at $90 +/- are value RAMs.

I think the cheapest mechanical keyboard is Rosewill.

Kingston value ram around ~ $100..up to u ba but since budget allow I opt for better rams

Ssd if u can get the intel ssd @ $200 go for it

Msi 290 twin froze @ $688 is the best bang for bucks with good cooler if u wan higher tier gpu

Dell ultrasharp 27" $700+ if u wan 27" 1440p can consider Qnix 2710....from qoo10 @ $360+...if u lucky might get 1 with 0 dead o bright pixel

Keyboard wise see individual like simi brand de

sapphire tri cooler r9 290 @ about $620 w/o bf 4

$620 i rather go for giga or msi. Tp is selling r9 290 around $65X msi.

must hoot one of these, 4k monitor coming to be the 'IN' things now

This is the revised specs after making some changes.

i5-4570 + Msi B85-G43 GAMING ~ $384
G.skill Ripjaws 8gb kit red ~ $110
Plextor m5s 256gb ssd ~ $245
Wd blue 1tb ~ $78
MSI R9 290X GAMING 4G ~ $929
Superflower hx 600 ~ $109
Samsung oem drive ~ $21
Fractal design arc midi r2 ~ $130
Win7 64 oem ~ $115
Dell S2740L ~ $499
Rosewill RK-9000 mechanical keyboard ~ $100

Total damage = $2720

Budget over abit but is ok however have some questions.

Is it better to save the money and go for MSI R9 290 twin frozr instead of the 290X twin frozr since I read that the performance gain from 290 to 290X is not worth it? Lets say money is not a problem should I just go for the 290X instead?

And the Superflower hx 600 watts PSU is it enough to power this rig?
Thanks.

 

[chaoswar]

let say money no issue ,go for non ref 780ti card
290x not worth it,better to go for 290 or xfire it,
if plan to xfire in future ,buy a 850 watt psu
