Your build will work. No doubting that. Also battlefield 4 is a highly optimised game. It even runs on my laptop.
For 522 you could get this: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/z2bf3C

The case comes with 2 fan's so you dont need to worry about that.



i really dont understand why you dont just lead with that in every thread lol :P That looks pretty solid to me i guess, better than any of the other ones ive seen on here yet.

Ok, few more questions though, realy alot more questsions will come in the next few days befor ei get paid but in the mean time - Can I use my old cd drives, i have the 2 that came with this pc, + another 2 from an older pc, its not a big save, but since that build doesnt include the OS or the monitor i will end up having to buy anything would help. Also, i was recommended the 750 ti by a friend, and since looking at them, the evga superclock one is supposed to be the outperform the rest of them, and its a bit cheaper than that one, are you aware of somethign on that card that im not? Does the 2133 after the memory mean anything, this isnt a price issue, it just seems dumb that theyre selling ddr3 with a smaller number after the hyphen for more money...


THANKS again btw, im starting to get somewhere now, im sure that confidence will fade once i have a big mess of green computer parts in front of me but ill cross that bridge later.

I recommend buying a windows 7 license somewhere else online. Thats only like 20$ and you can activate win 10 with any win7 license. Since i live in germany i dont know what trusted software reseller are in your country.


im gonna have to research this a bit, but if thats true, and it allows me to upgrade right to windows 10, then thats a huge save.

Yes, nothing has changed here in the last years. they all go into the 5,25" bay and all use SATA connectors

750 ti

Yes, superclocked ones are faster, and if you can get your hands on them cheaper then buy them. I disabled mail-in-rebates in my pcpartpicker settings, so most likely there was a rebate on it that i did not saw. (simply picked the cheapest one, since the games you want to play are not very demanding)

It is the clockspeed of the RAM. But only very few applications (WinRar or 7zip for example) profit from faster ram. In Games it does not matter at all. The new Skylake Prozessors and the fitting mainboard only support ddr4 ram, so you cant buy ddr3. You can simply buy the cheapest 8gb (2x4gb) kit you can find, as long as it comes from a trusted manufacturer.

And dont worry about assambly. Thats easy as long as you do it slowly, carefully, whatch a tutorial first and read the instructions. Its like lego.

You dont have to update. You can simply download win 10 on a USB drive, boot and install it on your ssd and aktivate it with your win 7 key.

YOU :P are a prince. I still have a week or two before ill have money but that build you posted is starting to look better and better the more i look at the reviews. I was worried for a bit the i3 was a duo core, not that itd matter for me, but id feel like i was cheating myself if i got alot worse performance because i couldnt pony up 40 bucks or whatever, but it seems the i3 is newer... than the i5, and it outperforms alot of the quad core and even the 8 core amd thing, especially for gaming.

i think im gonna be jsut fine :P


I will have more questions in the coming days im sure, but in the mean time id like to do a little research on my own as well.

Fans are mostly installed on the case. the Spec read like this:
"2x USB 3.0, 1x Headphone, 1x Mic Front Ports, Internal Bay: 2x 3.5", 2x 2.5" 1 x 200mm fan, 2 x 80mm turbo fans (optinoal)" - this means there is a big 200mm fan already installed in the case, and there are mounting options for two additional 80mm fans that DONT come with the case. All the front ports are connected with one big plug to the main board.

But yes i know. Pcpartpicker does not list all the spec's. I always google the part and get the specs form the manufactures website.


You are right. Ghz and core count do not say much. The best way to compare CPU'S is by the cinebench single and multi core benchmark.
And no. with 519$ we cant even come close. This is a pc that was build with parts that were rejected after the manufactuing prozess because it did not meet the quality standarts. We cant compete with that price wise.


If you post your current setup, we can see what can be salvaged and show you what you can get for 550 or 700$.


How can you honestly tell someone that a PC is built with parts that were rejevted? Ibuypower uses lower quality parts such as motherboards and power supplies. That is how they can build them cheaper. Also because they bulk buy that is how they reduce costs. So, please don't misinform people about something that makes absolutely no sense.

Lastly, userbnchmark.com is not a trustworthy site. They do not bench anything themselves and regardless of whether the user has overclocked or left it stock it is all added into the aggregate. Anandtech is a much better site.
