I saw your responses (thank you btw), and did what you said. Will I now be able to run games like Skyrim and Starcraft 2 on medium/high graphics without overclocking?


Yes such a configuration is capable of running both games on reasonably high settings at 1080p.

C43 suck. The configuration only needs a quality ~500w unit.


would u say the c45 is alot better? or sucks aswell? :D


C45 is better. Though I would avoid MSI's C series altogether if there are other boards such as the Asrock P67 Pro3 or similar available to you.


is there a reason why they are considered bad? ive googled abit and they said its pretty good

They're bad because they're entry level P67 boards. Lack of voltage options, lack of mosfet heatsinks, and slightly lower quality components. It's fine if you don't care about any of this.

Hmm, I'm uncertain, is it worth it to get SATA III HDD over SATA II HDD?

No. Mechanical drives can't saturate neither and SATA is mostly backwards compatible.

Buying from Newegg is a bad idea since you're overpaying for everything.

If you want the C43, just get it in a bundle for $314.99: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=62550&promoid=1301

You can pricematch the Coolermaster Hyper 212+ to $22.55 using: http://www.bestdirect.ca/products/218427/RR-B10-212P-G1/COOLERMASTER/ , http://ncix.com/products/?sku=41337

You can get a Seasonic S12II 520 for $59.99, not as good as the Capstone but I don't think Capstone at $79.99 is worth it: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=52173&promoid=1301

Instead of the Rosewill Challenger case, you can get a Coolermaster HAF 912 for $54.99: http://ncix.com/products/?sku=55583&promoid=1301

You can get 2x4GB 1600MHz Corsair Vengeance for $39.99: http://ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=57078&promoid=1301

Most of the boxing day graphic card deals are sold out, I'd change from the Radeon HD6870 to a Radeon HD6950, MSI Twin Frozr III for $229.99 ($199.99 after mail in rebate): http://ncix.com/products/?sku=64182&promoid=1301

All of this totals to about $722 before mail in rebate, taxes, and shipping. Buying from a Canadian retailer instead of an American retailer basically got you better components for less and faster shipping.

Hey guys, I'm planning on building a new computer for the purpose of streaming SC2 on high settings and playing games like BF3, Skyrim, etc. on max settings smoothly.

I plan on buying these components:

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500 Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz - $209.99 (10% off) - I'm not going to worry about overclocking
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115073

GPU: GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB $209.99, $190 after mail-in rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125401

RAM: Team Elite 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) $31.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820313086

Mobo: BIOSTAR H61MLC LGA 1155 Intel H61 $54.99
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138340


I have an internal hard drive, CD/DVD drive and case from a previous build that can be reused.

The power supply from my previous build is a rather old hec Raptor r500 500W.
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817339021

If someone could tell me if my power supply is well equipped enough to handle these new components, or if it's just pure shit, that would be appreciated. If it's shit, I'm assuming this power supply would suffice. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371030

If anyone has any general suggestions on improvements that can be made that would be appreciated. I understand there might be lower prices elsewhere, but please keep suggestions limited to newegg. Keep in mind my budget is tight and is around the $500 mark.

Thanks ^-^

yeah the raptor is bad and yeah the neo eco is enough though I'd rather get the earthwatts 650 at 52$ http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=59339&vpn=EA650Green&manufacture=Antec or whatever else that's decent around 450+w if you can find it for cheaper


Staying only in newegg, well then my absolute recommendation would definitely be this:
