Recommend a Rig

[Kero291]

Hi Guys,
Planning to head down to TradePac later.
Anyone willing to help me out with the parts .

Casual Gaming (Dota 2, FFXIV, Dragon Age III, Witcher 3 etc)
Preferably one that won't take up a lot of space
Main thing is that the graphics card will be able to support newer games!

Budget~$5xx (Possibly up to $1000 if $5xx is too restrictive)
I was looking at the ban leong promo but that's like my whole budget lol.

$5xx is impossible.

Minimum $800 without SSD.

 

[Yureak]

Witcher 3 is hardcore

Even 1000 is quite tough unless u want low on everything

Even an r9 290 should be the bare minimum should you like to push the settings

 

[Kero291]

what would you guys recommend then?

Do you need monitor, keyboard, mouse and/or OS?

For the rest of your games they are quite light so maybe you can consider a gtx760/270x

Your budget shld go up to 1.2-1.3 at the minimum

Gtx 750 ti is good but doubt its enough for witcher3

 

[Kero291]

Hmm if i were to get the Power PCI + R9 290X, wuld the mother board be able to support?

290x is almost 80% of your budget le... Even if you meant the powercolour 290 PCS+ at $499, its 50% of your budget....

Dun aim so high with a low budget.

 

[Kero291]

Lol ok im gonna stop thinking. Zotac GTX750ti it is. Thanks guys for all your recommendations

 

[shadow84]

If you really wanna play high end games, i suggest you forfeit DIY for now and save up to around $1.5k. Maybe you can get GPU on promo for now, and get your main rig some time later.

Otherwise, you will feel that your 750ti cant do much for modern and upcoming games soon. Unless you are only gonna play that first 3 games of your list for the next 2-3 yrs and not touch other games AT ALL.

You mentioned that you wan your gpu to support newer games, i can tell you for sure 750ti is not the card to make that wish come true.

I have to agree. 750ti is very efficient but very far from 760 in performance...

Witcher 3 is supposedly like crysis so...

 

[hengheng220]

bro if want to play high end games must be prepared to fork out more ba. 1k if no os and kb maybe can get a 280x and also sacrifice the ssd

 

[Kero291]

Ok let's say I strip it all down to the bare minimum, building on roy's recommendations

Msi b85m g43 + i3-4130 ~ 252
Crucial 8gb 1600mhz ~ $89
WD blue 1tb ~ $71
GPU ~ $499
Silverstone Essential 500w 80+ psu ~ $55
Sharkoon MS140 ~ $52
Windows 7 home premium 64bit OEM ~ $110

Just wondering if this would work out?
Like would the mobo support the gpu and/or would the cooling be sufficient
