I think he misread your list to be a new shopping list instead of the existing setup. :)

That would be funny, but no:

My apologies, the parts I listed are what I'm typing on now.

What was the year you planned that setup? Most of that should be on the second/third hand market already. I don't mean they wouldn't be able to run AH quite well, but they definitely are dated!

You might want to use a tool like pcpartpicker mentioned by wpeters for planning a new rig, or you might as well want to build a retro thing out of abandoned components. Your budget looks more like you were after a modern computer, though.


that is what he has now.   he's looking to upgrade it.

Mar, here is a balanced gaming machine:
i5
suitable motherboard
8GB DDR3-1600
GTX770/radeon280x
case, psu, hdd can be used from your previous machine.

This should fit in your budget and will be a strong all around puter for the next couple years.

Sorry Mar, I really thought that was your shopping list. It looked just like the ones we've seen on this forum multiple times, sent for evaluation with links and everything.

Power supply:
For a 300W PSU you expect it to have an 80+ Bronze certification, 400-600 you expect Silver, above Gold.
A 650 Watt PSU with just Bronze is based on outdated technology
