Thanks xdsxblazinxdsx What does your $800 computer look like what are the Tech spechs ?

I built my PC for under 500, you can get good deals with bundles. Also, I wrote down 2x 4GB It straight off my order history so I know the priceI paid Forsure it looks like a great build, I mean when I added it up it was like $390 yeah I missed that 2x 4GB a bundle would make sense. Windows case etc. like another $80 so you could do it for under $500 no problem. You should post a screen shot of your city SO for me without specifics, AMD A-10 FM2 motherboard Kingston @ 1333Mhz or 1600 Mhz (undecided) 2x4GB Western Digital Harddrive..Cool Master case and a fann I'm at 480...with a free digital limited edition Simcity, bundle with the A-10 But windows 7 is being a real thorn in my side putting me at 560. It should be a great build though and run all the games I want. I have a HDMI input and am using my T.V as the monitor. Not sure how thats gana go, but if it goes like I hope it should be sweet. More expensive than I would have liked. not by much though and the AMD A-10 should kick ass. Based on my experience, for gaming rigs Intel CPU's are the way to go. And for the RAM no need for the faster clock speeds. 1333 or 1600 is fine. You won't feel the difference esp. for a budget build. Yeah I'm sticking to this AMD A-10 5800K I hope it plays games as well as the reviews say it does. in a few years when I build another and I'm ok with that. I hope this lasts longer than that hopefully five years. I know thats a stretch but I take good care of my stuff. I'm just going to stick with the AMD A-10 cuz i already bought it. Thanks for the suggestions. That is nuts. Great buy. They don't have that deal anymore I looked and $700 free shipping is the lowest i7 I saw priced. It didn't have 16gb of memory or a 2 tb harddrive you could fit a school in that thing

not a bare bones kit would have been nice, but i bundled amd a 10 with simcity game, So I have weighed out my options and I have decided for the last time drum roll please to build my own rig. mid tower still deciding on the case probably kind of but that price down therry gives me room for $65 case more than enough AMD A-10 FM2 A85-XMA-E35 western digital hard drive 212 fan $631 that is including windows 7. shipping tax. This should play anygame I throw at it basically for a few years (hopefully. See where technology takes us) on med to high settings. Good choice on building. What gpu are you going with? Keep in mind that unless you build the best of the best, it isn't going to play everything for the next few years on med to high settings. It won't even play all current games on mid to high settings. For your own sake, ignore Metalpuritan. A quick google search for reviews of the card he claimed could run anything out there at max settings shows that is clearly not true....GTX 630. It's a low-end budget card. It'll barely hit 32 fps running BF3 at low to mid settings. Nor will his Walmart computers run everything for the next three years, nor will they 'eat the face off the next generation consoles'. Shoot, we don't even know the specs of the next generation consoles. Well the AMD A-10 is an APU integrated with the 7660 HD and I probably wont buy a seprate card. I read somewhere that the impact of another graphics card with this apu is minimal. Besides. I'm tapped out anyways. 630 is enough for me, yeah solid motherboard, solid memory, this comp will be fine, hopefully better than fine. hopefully it's fantastic. Thats right we have no idea whats coming next. I do have to say that metalpuritan is right you can buy a cheap refurbished computer and do it up with gpu cpu or whatever but, in the end theres no deal out there where they aren't making money.

I just got that graphics card and a 650W psu. Game runs great now. 650W That is a lot of power

If you guys don't think thats worth it. and I get the $400 comp. All thats left is to upgrade the graphics card. HURAYYY THANKSS FOR YOUR HELP GUYS!! NVM sorry this is my first build and I've been trying to find the best deal so I keep changing my mind.

HAHAH yeah dude I am worried about that probably going to have to get the hyper cool 212 evo and at $40 bucks it aint bad. It comes with a stock heatsink and fan but it might not be enough My desktop has this cooler in it and it does the job well. But most mainstream CPU's come with a stock cooler... it's usually only the high-end hot-running ones that don't. If your CPU comes with a stock cooler (which your's does) then IMO you probably don't need to replace it with a big aftermarket one. The stock one should be fine. It's totally up to you though. The 212 evo is also pretty big... so if you do get it, make sure it'll fit your case and that it's compatible with your CPU socket. Right I heard the 212 is big I'll keep that in mind. The A-10 shipped today with the simcity limited digital edition code. got it from newegg shipped real quick, very happy but I'm still searching. Might even return it if I find a full comp with everything and upgrade the graphics card like metalpuritan suggested not sure yet but I hope to have a computer by May 6th (two weeks) at the latest. Hopefully earlier but no theres no rush.

Interesting. Could you send me two links please? one for the Walmart comp and the second for a graphics card. No need for the monitor. HDMI capability needed instead. Monitor would be cool but I am planning on using my T.V. Budget under $600 esh I know topic was $510 but it was pay day today haha. Thanks metalpuritan The computer: http://www.walmart.com/ip/HP-Pavilion-p6-2313W-Desktop-PC-with-AMD-A4-3420-Accelerated-Processor-6GB-Memory-500GB-Hard-Drive-and-Windows-8-Monitor-Not-Included/21984277?findingMethod=rr This thing is ultra cheap but it only come with the graphics card that is integrated with the motherboard, that is no good, maybe okay if all you do is watch videos and surf the web and play browser "games". So here is a decent Graphics card, I found this at micro center, they price competatively, so you can find one at YOUR local store or online retailer for about the same price http://www.microcenter.com/product/399343/02G-P3-2637-KM_NVIDIA_GeForce_GT_630_2048MB_DDR3_PCIe_20_x16_Video_Card And since this computer was made on the ultra cheap cheap they included with it a power supply that could handle what this cputer was made with and nothing more, so you will need a new power supply to handle the new graphics card as the one that is included will not have the necessary plug for it, neither Nvidia nor ATI, so the link to a power supply here: http://www.microcenter.com/product/365237/TR2_Series_500_Watt_ATX_Power_Supply This power supply is cheap but will definitely do the job AND all together is under your budget and you get a second monitor(if you have one already) a second monitor is always a plus by the way, watch a movie while downloading all your plugins and installing them or whatever or sell it LOL. I know two people I did this for and they can and do play any game they want to play. I estimate they will be able to do so for at least the next 3 years with this exact set-up, well as long as they keep them clean anyway, they have a dog and they smoke so their PC's get dirty FAST. You might even be able to find a cheaper PC that is about the same set-up but without the monitor, that will instantly reduce the cost by at least $50. So, in summary, this is a $495.00 full computer set that will never give you any troubles, not for at the very least 3 or so years, maybe longer if you can keep it clean. Edit: Oh yeah, that $495.00 price tag is before the rebates for the graphics card and the power supply, after rebates it would be $466.00. The other thing is I need a desktop with a HDMI output, I'm going to keep looking for something similar to your description I like the idea. Let me know if you find anything.

Why is the AMD A-10 5800k Beating the i3 3220 in tests for the gaming portion? I did hear somewhere that the tests are rigged but a lot of the ones I've seen online show that AMD wins with gaming tests. Not sure how much that means
