Diablo 3 $400-500 Intel Build

post #1 of 9

Thread Starter 
Hey, My friend wants to play Diablo3 with me and his laptop will not run it even on minimum requirements. I made a "build" for him using newegg.com, but i haven't built a computer in a few years since the new intel series has come out. I was wondering if anyone has a machine that would be viable for this game in this price range or if anyone can help me put together the best solution for my friend.

He has a monitor, and the OS is not an issue. All help will be very much appreciated!

Thanks.

Why not look into getting a llano build?
You could play without any problems, and you wouldn't need to get a discreet gpu.

Otherwise, this seems like it would be a good enough machine.

I've looked into using a llano, and I feel like that would be far to less power to run diablo 3 on decent settings. I know it might be an option because of the price, but I am looking for only a

motherboard
hard drive
ram
cpu
gpu
power supply
case

As these are the only items, I have been doing research and feel like I can get a decent gpu and cpu and motherboard for that price.

FREE MOTHERBOARD /W PROCESSOR
$90 Processor : PHENOM II X4 960T (MOST UNLOCK TO A 6 CORE)
http://www.microcenter.com/specials/promotions/AMDbundlePROMO.html

$34.99 Kingston HyperX blu 8GB DDR3-1333
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0353218


$34.99 Logisys Mid Tower ATX Computer Case with 480 Watt Power Supply
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0373898


$49.99 Hitachi Travelstar Z5K500 320GB ( I would get a used one on ebay instead)
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0371989



$229.99 N560GTX-TI NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0355794

OR

http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0387845
$129.99 Radeon HD 7770 GHz Edition


Comes out to be around $470 after taxes and everything

OR if you get the Radeon 7770 (15% slower than a gtx 560ti once overclocked)

You only pay $370 total


I would get the Radeon 7770, better bang on the buck and it wont be so hard on the psu

and if you want the 7770 instead, you can get a better better combo motherboard so you can do crossfire later with 2 of them

http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/radeon-hd-7770-7750-benchmark,3135-5.html

7770 is a good value, but when you overclock it, it will be right under a 560ti

I believe i gave him a better buy on graphics for the same price he is getting a gtx 560ti instead of a 6850

Hey, thanks to everyone who is helping out. I am looking into both builds, as of right now he wants his computer to be able to last 4-5 years, and I feel as if both will last that long, (although probably not play video games at max quality in 5 years)
