Hey @pinky339,

My apologies for not responding sooner. I did not even realize you posted in this thread. You should link my username next time (@J.Dre).

With your budget, I would recommend the following specifications as a starting point to begin your build:

• Computer Case: Sentey® Gaming Case Optimus Gs-6000R (Black and Red) [+$70] (Amazon)
• CPU: Intel Core i5-4690K (6MB Cache, up to 4.0 GHz) [+$236] (Amazon)
• CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO - CPU Cooler [+$32] (Amazon)
• GPU: Gigabyte AMD R7 370 256 Bit GDDR5 2GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP Overclocked Graphics [+$150] (Amazon)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H-BK (Black Edition) Motherboard Core [+$135] (Amazon)
• PSU: EVGA 500W 80+ Certified 500W 3-Year Warranty Power Supply [+$45] (Amazon)
• RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 MHz [+$48] (Amazon)
• Hard Drive (Storage): Western Digital 1 TB SATA III 7200 RPM [+$70] (Amazon)
• Optional SSD (Primary): Samsung 850 EVO 250GB 2.5" SATA III [+$98] (Amazon)

Sub-total: $786 (without the SSD).
Taxes: Unknown

Notes: I would recommend you start with these specifications and go from there. I chose these specifications because of their especially good price-to-performance ratio. However, the AMD GPU is not something I would necessarily recommend, but your budget is extremely limited. The new R370 is within 10% of the GTX 960 (performance-wise) and should offer you a fairly good experience. You may change the CPU for a lower quad-core variant to save some money. However, these specifications are a great combination.

If you have any questions or concerns, feel free to leave a message below.

ASUS has launched a water-cooled laptop with desktop like graphics performance. Read more...



How does it work? In essence, the laptop contains a ridiculous mobile GPU (known as the "990M") which has similar specifications as the GTX 980. When this laptop is not connected to the cooler, it runs the card down-clocked to GTX 980M levels of performance. However, when you connect it to this external radiator dock, it then boosts performance by approximately 30%.

How much does this cost? Early estimations set it at a minimum of €3000 for the laptop alone. The entire setup will be around €4000.

Hi. My budget is like 600€
Mainly I need a new Computer for opening like 8 tibia clients while playing other games like BF4 / World Of Warcraft on High Settings or just looking movies without lagging.
Also i need a quite one , cuz my computer is just infront of my bed. Im really confused about this CPU battle between Intel FanBoys and AMD FanBoys.
Well i personally think the AMD Octa Core would be better cuz tibia is eating a lot of Core and RAM. Could you guys help me ?

@Kaguya,

You should take some components from this build suggestion. It is within your budget.

IF you want it to be quiet throw away the stock cooler from AMD(not sure about the stock coolers from Intel tho), else you will hear it.

Well im guessing now .. you are an owner of an AMD right ? So what do you think about em ? Are they good fro multi tasking ?

I used both but indeed i`m using AMD now. Also AMD is somewhat infamous for their stock fans.
I never really experienced any problems with multi tasking on the AMD yet. Quick side note i do not really play bf4(or something that much graphic consuming) and as well run 6+ clients. But for sure it should be doable.
Also i do have plugged in 16gb of RAM and just now by having only chrome, steam and skype open almost 4gb is gone. So i would recommend adding more then just 4gb is a must. (which is also favorable for the (on board) graphics).

Or this 2x means you get already 2x 4gb, then it might work out. Tho still for 6 clients and bf4 i wouldn't be surprised for getting performance issues.

Long story short. Yes they are good for multi tasking but its not only up to the processor.

If anyone is interested, I have some cheap RAM for sale (16GB's). It's for a laptop: DDR3L.

Will only ship in the U.S., sorry. International shipping is expensive.
