cheap computer

[Rhystar]

Hey guys, im currently in the process of building a computer.. I have most all the parts except a processor and a video card.. Im already somewhat set on the video card that im going to get - Gigabyte 7770 OC
But i cant decide on what processor... im on somewhat of a limited budget.... im wondering whether i should get a cheap i3 for now and upgrade later.... or get the 2500k and then get the video card later.

Thanks.

parts as it sits

how much do you game?
and if you do, what games?


If you play lots of newer games, then get the video card.

and what was your budget if you had to buy your cpu now?

Is this going to be for d3??

IMO. You should go for for the gtx 460 for ten bucks more than get 25 bucks back mail and rebate. Better card IMO. Or get the gtx 560 for 60 more.

For a processor I would get the i5 2500 k. Good bang for your buCk. Good performance. No need for a i7, IMO it's only for bragging rights. Most people won't even use it to it's full potential.
if you want speed difference. Get a ssd for your os

The 550'card isn't bad.

You should return the 550 and buy the 460 from here. http://forums.beyond.ca/st/353187/fs...omputer-parts/
