Read some of Ualaa's posts and figured this would be nice for the price, I'm always worried that the power supply in any computer wont be enough, but 600W seems pretty good.
Some thoughts would help :D
I think that 6670 is less than half as powerful as a GTX 560Ti (which is the minimum GPU I would recommend).
Kind of on a budget, seems the GTX 560Ti is a bit expensive :(
Also, I'm not looking for fancy graphics, just enough to run the main on good or maybe high. I don't care for ultra or anything.
That card is in the same ballpark as a 9800GTX, plus support for some DX11 features.
Now, I ran 4x WoWs at 800x600 on a Q6600 and i7-950 with a 9800GT for the first couple years I boxed it, so that card will suffice if you use ultra-low settings. Note that you will NOT be able to run your main at full resolution on medium or high settings if you expect more than 15FPS. And good luck in Dalaran/Org/etc. It will probably be unplayable at any setting if you use ISBoxer to run all 4 at full rez and have it insta-swap things and do all the fancy stuff ISBoxer does so well. Just not happening on that card, IMO.
You _might_ get a little better performance with the i5 CPU but I wouldn't bet the farm on that.
Basically, buy cheap now and pay extra to upgrade once you realize it sucks balls anywhere but in 5-man instances, or pay a little extra now for a 2-3x more powerful graphics card and be happy (if not exactly ecstatic) for the next couple years.
Forgive me if this sounds brutal, but if $100-150 extra for a GT560 or HD6950 (which are about 2.5x as powerful overall) isn't in your budget, you might rethink priorities. ;)
Well, it isn't in my budget if I get that certain computer, but maybe if I bought http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227389 and did the upgrades needed it would be more budgetable.
Also, all the GPUs I'm viewing on newegg that you two are suggesting are $200+
Okay, found the GTX 550 and 560s, 130-190, looks better to me.
Another edit, what about this? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16883227383
Trying to avoid having to build the computer myself.
