I've been thinking of building a gaming PC for a while now, making lists of possible builds that wouldn't cost a lot, but would have plenty of power.
I've talked to my brother about several things about building computers, and games on PC, and the Steam sales, and he said for me to make a list of the parts I'd need/want. I think I've done a pretty good job of putting together a list of parts for a low budget build, but I want to know if there's a way I could make it cheaper while retaining the same performance, or if there was a way to make it a little more powerful for about the same price.
AMD A8-3870K, XFX Radeon HD 6670, Apex SK-393-C - System Build - PCPartPicker This is what I currently have in mind (I'd crossfire the APU with the 6670). Someone told me that the A8-3870K performs much better when you have RAM that's at least DDR3-1866 over 1600 or below.
Any suggestions? It totals about $525 before rebates (this is including the cost of the OS). Once again, I'd like to keep it around that price or lower while keeping or improving the performance.
