How about a i3 or i5 build? could it be done? And you can leave out windows 7

ShadowHearth

Okay, this build is not including an SSD, but it is a very powerfull machine. I personally would take Better GPU over SSD. Like i said before - SSD is a luxury and can always be added as an extra, Wheres Gpu will have to be completely replaced, old one resold.

Though if you do want SSD, you could drop to cheaper RAM, cheaper GPU and cheaper PSU and get an SSD.

Is the intel the more powerful of the 2 builds?

AMD started to pull their **** together with price drops, but i would still go intel myself. From a Fast search looks like those 2 are neck to neck and i5 takes a small lead.

In reality both ways are good, it is your personal preference i guess. As i mentioned above, i would go i5 myself. ( i am not an intel or amd fanboy, i just like to pick things, which are time proven to be good )

If he's going with a 3570K he might as well get a Z77 board. If not, drop him down to a 2400-ish something and beef up the GPU a bit.

ShadowHearth

damn, i did not notice it was not z77 board. so yeah, switch to z77 board. cant link it as somehow german website being very slow to me today again.

Can I use PayPal with HWVS?

Copper_pipe

Anyone?

Hank Scorpio

Think Its bank transfer only, was for me when I bought there 2 yrs ago

Serephucus

You can use PayPal, but they charge an extra 3% for it, so you're better off with a bank transfer.
