Okay, so I need to give a backstory, I'm helping a friend with building a new computer. Now, as I know what I'm talking about, I relatively could use some help giving him parts. His budget is $2,000. Here's what I got so far;
Processor - AMD FX-8350 Black Edition 4.0GHz (4.2GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ ($189.99)
Graphics - (2x) Nvidia GeForce 750 ti FTW ($159.99 x 2)
Cooling - CORSAIR Hydro Series H100i Water Cooler ($99.99)
Hard Drive - WD Purple WD20PURX 2TB SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive ($99.99)
RAM - Team Vulcan 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2400 (PC3 19200) Desktop Memory ($79.99)
Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-Z97X-UD5H ATX Intel Motherboard ($189.99) [Comes with Diablo 3]
Power Supply - EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 220-G2-0750-XR 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS GOLD ($114.99)
Sound Card - HT | OMEGA Claro Halo XT Sound Card w/ a built-in HI-FI Headphone Amplifier ($249.99)
OS - Microsoft Windows 8.1 64-bit - OEM ($99.99)
Mouse - Mad Catz R.A.T. Tournament Edition Mouse ($79.99)
Keyboard - Razer DeathStalker Expert Gaming Keyboard ($68.99)
Total: 1593.88 (Almost everything is on Sale.)
If you're going to add something, there I brands I wouldn't give an enemy of mine. Theses brands are; Intel (They cost too much for such powerless performance), ATI (They're inferior to AMD). That's it. Anyhow, Read up, and have fun. Hell, maybe I took the liberty of giving him my wishlist of parts but oh well, Hahah!
