Help with AMD Build
hey guys, i was wondering if a $800 budget can build a i7 comp? i'm thinking of getting a new comp because the comp that I have now has this restarting issue, it would randomly restart by itself. for example, if I'm playing a game, it would sometimes restart, this happens a lot. and I can't seem to bring down the cpu temp, I purchased a cooler instead of using the stock cooler and it's still around the high 50's to the early 60's.
anyways, I'm just wondering what my options would be.. i would re-use the psu that i already have, and possibly the cd/dvd drive, the hard drives, and i don't need a operating system. i won't be overclocking or anything like that. this comp would be used for everyday task and also some gaming, like counter-strike, DOTA, and for starcraft 2, as well as converting videos. thanks for the help.
and btw, I live in the US, and about the moniter, it could be included in the build but it's probably not do-able with such a tight budget, the $800 is just an estimate, I'll re-calculate the money issue after I see what can you guys make, once again, thank you.
UPDATE:
re-thinking about my budget and the idea of power vs. cost, i think i might head over to the AMD side, however i have no idea where to start. i think i will be getting the 940 with a GTX-260 perhaps. any builds for a $800 budget? i would also need a new case. thanks for the help guys.
