    How does the GTX 760 do vs the 7870? In comparison the 760 should win out on 3/4 things. Is it worth the extra $50?

    It comes with Black Flag and Splinter Cell which is a good $70.

    Yea, get the 760. I love AMD but the lack of PhysX and buggy drivers are not worth it at all. plus those are 2 nice games

    760 seems like one of the higher end mid ranged cards. 60-80 FPS, ultra @ 1080p on BF4.... GG

    I think they were smoking some crack when they took that benchmark. No chance it gets that at ultra on BF4

    Eh, from what I understand that's what most people get. If not, a ton of people must be smoking crack. Hopefully my Quad core AMD CPU won't bottleneck it too bad.

    I think you're better off with this, anything that goes up to 1k deserves an intel chip since they are overall better than AMD cpu's especially since you're dealing with the 3770k.

    I would have to disagree, with the hyper 212 evo, he can overclock the 8350 to the point that it is better than the 3770k, and it costs over $100 less. you also gave him less storage, worse GPU, AND no after market cooler, leaving him with a really bad intel stock cooler...

    built my computer in dec. 2012(age 12 now 13) so its about a year old purrs like a kitten the oc genie that comes with the motherboard(software) really helps the performance if you dont want to spend all your time calibrating the overclocking settings also i had a limited budget of $700

    Features
    MSI(MicroStarInternational) Z77A-G43 motherboard/systemboard or whatever you want to call it
    Intel i5-3570k cpu
    16g corsar RAM
    WD blue 320g HDD (didnt plan on storing much)
    ASUS CD-ROM (RW)
    MSI 3Dgraphics card class Falcon (added later)
    300w power suply
    and this pretty case

    660ti does more than enough with what anybody is probably doing, it's not like he's running heaven benchmark 24/7, he doesn't need the most recent model to game to his satisfaction. I have never heard of anybody using more than a tb, so 2 tb is unnecessary, furthermore the 3770k beats the 8350 without the issue of cooling, even with the turbo.

    never heared of anyone using over 1tb? you dont know all that many people than i guess, lol. its VERY easy to use over a tb. you still should give him a after market cooler for if he ever decides to OC, cuz you cant at all with the stock cooler.

    Over a TB... You must have the whole Game of Thrones series downloaded in 1080p.... Games don't take up that much space and neither do school Word documents...
