Starting off with a DYI Kit?

[rewq007]

Trying to build a low end gaming rig. I'm not a hardcore gamer but my kids are getting into things like battlefield, starwars online, etc...

So time to fix em up since my old rig is giving them some crappy framerates.


I'm trying to keep things under 750 dollars (operating system, keyboard, mouse, monitor, and peripherals not included in that number)

I'm considering starting off my build with a DYI kit from newegg. It has the following in it:

Rosewill Xtreme Series RX850-D-B 850W Continuous @40°C ,80 PLUS Certified, ATX12V v2.2 & EPS12V v2.91, SLI Ready CrossFire ...

AMD Phenom II X4 940 Black Edition Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM2+ 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ940XCJ4DGI

Xigmatek MIDGARD-W Black 0.7mm SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case

XIGMATEK AIO-S80DP All-in-one liquid cooling system - Retail

I'm building from scratch here - so I was thinking going with am2+ processor and motherboard would let me save a little money on them and memory.

Unless I've picked out total junk - I still need a motherboard, memory, harddrive, and videocard.

(videocard will be determined by how much we have left I suppose).

Love some advice and parts suggestions.

I'm not a big fan of the kits from Newegg. I think you could save some money by staying away from a liquid cooled system.

Have you taken a look at our recommended builds?
