Its a new build, need everything. I'll be using this build mostly for gaming, MS Word and browsing. The website is only for reference. I'll be getting everything from local retail stores. If you need anymore info just let me know.

Can you guys suggest a cheaper + better setup? Thanks a lot!

Ah, the infamous $500 budget gaming build. In my experience, the way to go at this price range is to get a cheap pre-built and add a GPU, like that 7750. Especially if you need Windows as well. You might find a pre-built with an i3 in your price range, which would be good.

If you stick with building, I'd look for an even cheaper H61 mobo.

Do you need an OS? How about monitor or other peripherals?

Hey! Good suggestion but i'll probably stick with building. Its my first build and hopefully i'll get to learn more about pc hardware. I'm currently using a laptop. Maybe i'll build a better one later when i can. I'm not going to need an OS. Do you have any particular H61 mobo in mind?

Thanks a lot for replying!:awe:

Hi! Yes I'm going to need peripherals but that's okay. I'm just going to get standard mouse and keyboard. Maybe an Xbox 360 gamepad. I'm going to need an 18.6" or 15.6" monitor which i know is hard to find a good one these days.

And the prices here are about 25-50% more than that on Newegg.com.

Honestly, that looks like quite a good budget list.

Thanks bro! I will be able get it for even less from the retail stores here. Could you tell me if i could use the 1333mhz RAM with the g630? On the intel website it says that it only supports 1066mhz RAM. Will i need to manually change the settings from the BIOS to make it run at 1333mhz?

 

[mfenn]

Yes, you will be able to dial in 1333 MHz in the BIOS to get the RAM to run at that speed.
