Looking for a nice CPU config for gamming

I wanna buy

Intel i5 750

Asus P6T Intel X58 Core i7 LGA1366 DDR3 ATX

OCZ 4GB (2Gx2) DDR3 1333 Gold OCZ3G1333LV4

Sapphire HD5770 1GB DDR5 PCI-E 100283L

I have a budget of $700, do you have any good suggestions?

 

The motherboard you have selected is NOT compatible with your CPU or RAM.

Chose this instead and you have a real good setup that will tackle modern games at high resolutions and good FPS.

GPU (This is far better than the 5770 you chose, alternative is the 5830)

Microcenter has the i7 930 for $200, that's if you have one near you and can pick it up, then that ASUS X58 mobo you specced out would work just fine. Newegg charges $290 for the same CPU.:confused Or you could go AMD CPU X4 if you wish which has more modestly priced mobos for crossfire.

 

Wow, we have to pay atleast £220!

And it's only OEM!

OUTRAGED!

:-D:-D

 

Yup! I paid $300 for mine! :cry I just thought to pass the deal along for others.

 

Check the combos from ewiz at this link if you buy a combo just above $300 you can use take $30 off w/ code PAPA30, ends 6/13

They also have 100283VX-2L Sapphire Radeon HD5770 Vapor-X 1GB DDR5 2DVI/HDMI/DisplayPort PCI-Express Video Card - ATI Radeon - SuperBiiz.com for $170 after $10 rebate and you can use Coupon ILOVEDAD for an additional $10 off if you place a seperate order

So if you buy combo Gigabyte P55 USB3.0 + I5-750BOX for $310 - $30 coupon = $270 + $160 = $430 for CPU MB and Graphic card

Also buy OCZ OCZ3G1333LV4G Gold 4GB PC10666 DDR3 Memory Upgrade - 1333MHz, Non-ECC, Unbuffered, 1x4096MB at TigerDirect.com from tigerdirect it has free shipping and use Bing cash back to get $24 back = $95

Total = $430 + $95 = $525

Buy this PSU Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER Silent Pro 700 RS-700-AMBA-D3 700W ATX12V V2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply and use coupon code EMCYTZY28 = $80 After rebate or you might be able to do fine with this (I didn't review all the power requirements but this one has only 600 w) Thermaltake TR2 W0388RU 600W ATX 12V v2.2 Power Supply with Free Shipping Promo Code EMCYTZY27 = $39.99 After $20.00 MIR

Total now is between $565 and $600

And this case Newegg.com - Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case was for $30 after promo code EMCYTYX25 and $15 Rebate

 

I just built my i5 gaming rig for under $699.


MSI P55-GD65 LGA 1156
Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156
SAPPHIRE Vapor-X Radeon HD 5770 1GB
G.SKILL Trident 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)
CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX


Ordered everything on newegg, with various promo codes and discounts it all came in at about $689 with shipping. Of course then I added a few things to the list, but that's the basics.
