The moment has come: new PC. I invoke your wisdom

[Tecnho]

Well, if you want wifi, something as simple as a card for example this one.

Amazon.com: TP-Link TL-WN951N 300Mbps Wireless N PCI Adapter: Electronics

A little cheaper

And if I were to get the 6870 and add another one later, I think they perform a little better, but it depends on you, the price difference, and if you like to play at high levels.

Tecno you are a genius. Thank you very much for your answers, I already know why you have so much rep

I will pick up the components without haste during this month because I can't assemble it until next month, I have an urge to play that you can't imagine XD

Greetings!

I would stick with the ASRock Z77 Extreme4 (it costs around 130€, 150$ and you can find it cheaper saving 20-30€) or the MSI Z77A-G55 (around 150€, 180$) which are very complete, good OC capability if you're up for it and very good quality, without being from Gigabyte. And for the case, I would also encourage you to go for a LianLi or a Corsair

[Tecnho]

It is also true that the motherboard that Bm4n recommends you like me a lot and maybe I already like Asrock more than Asus or GB, kalevala has thought about buying from another store.
in newegg which is a recognized store in USA and sends to your home it could serve you and I think it is cheaper

Good PC you are being advised by the colleagues

I would also opt for the HD6870 without a doubt, at least. You have to take full advantage of the equipment, hehe.

Best regards!!

P.D: enjoy it!!

Thanks to everyone, especially for the motherboard recommendations, which is what I was most worried about. I think I'll go for the Asrock and if it doesn't have wifi I'll buy the card that techno recommended.

Techno, I know newegg and I've been looking there too, the prices are similar to amazon. The only problem is that they send it to you by UPS and you have to be home to pick it up. With amazon they leave it at your door whether you're there or not. I already know what you're thinking, that they can steal things that way, but everyone does it this way and it's very safe.

There's also a microcenter next to my house. They have unbeatable prices (the HD 6870 at $160) but the comments I see on the internet about after-sales service and other things are not very good. Anyway, maybe I'll go by and take a look at what they have there.

Thank you very much to everyone for the answers. I'll keep you posted as I get the parts, and I'm sure when it comes time to assemble it I'll have doubts and problems to solve.

Greetings gamers!

Hello,

I'm giving you a quick update on what I've already bought to make you jealous and to accept any suggestions you may have. In the end, I went all out XD

At the Boston microcenter, which as I told you has very good deals, I got a i5 3570K and the asrock extreme4 z77 for 290$ :ugly: do the math and see if you think it's as good a deal as I do. At the same store, I got a Corsair TX 850 PSU, of course modular, for 160$ (also on sale)

With what I saved, I got the Crucial M4 SSD ;D

Now the best part, on newegg I found, and bought, this Shaphire HD 6950 2GB OC edition for…200$!!! But the best part is that it comes with Dirt3 and BF3!!!!! I think it's an unbeatable deal, what do you think? I saw that Neptunno had it in his signature and with how much of a gamer he is, I can't go wrong with getting the same card ;D

As for the rest of the components, they are on the way: 8 gb of Corsair Vengeance Black bought on Amazon and I'm still undecided between the Corsair Obsidian and the Antec 1100 case :fumeta:

well, I'll keep you posted when everything arrives, how the build goes, and of course I'll turn to HL for help. In the end, I think it will be a pretty cool machine

Regards!

[Tecnho]

Well the prices are good, which is being handled here since the dollar to euro conversion is disgusting here, that graph here is around that price but I have not seen it with those games, I think I would have also opted for it at that price.
The box I think if you get the corsair you won't regret it, and remember to put a decent heatsink on that micro.

Regards

[kalevala]

Techno, I've got the hyper 212 from cooler master, which I think is the one you recommended

I think if I get the corsair, it's $50 more than the antec, but I'm already spending

I'll tell you how it's turning out

Regards!

[Nemo]

I think the choice of the case is the correct.La Corsair is a luxury case.

The price/component ratio is not bad and you also get a couple of games :fuckyea:.
You will keep us posted on how the "little one" performs.

Enjoy it

Best regards
