    Hi fellas
    I'm going to build a new rig with a budget around $600 to $800 (I'm a father now, easy). I frequently shop on newegg.com and I happen to come across these combos and I was wondering if they are any good for the price. My question is; is it better to just buy each piece individually or get one of these combos?

    or


    http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1715807 (favorite one)

    I just want to play some Blade n Soul on max settings, is it possible to achieve it with this rigs? if not, I'll gladly read some suggestions.

    The second one is better, tho the GPU from the second one, isnt that good. Better spend 50$ more for a better GPU.

    I wouldn't even dare to get a Seagate HDD, I've gone through 5 of them within the span of 6 months, they burnout and die so easily and I keep good care of my computer.

    I create custom desktops for friends and family. If you need help designing your own rig, PM me.

    I'm not able to load the 2 links because of slow service atm.

    Pretty much what you looking for in a pc is a cpu that can handle the processes and a gpu that can give you good bandwidth over memory capacity.

    I have a i7 and it is an overkill for things I do with my computer. Games like aion and bns only take up 20 -30% of the max performance of the cpu. It's a octa-core 4.5 ghz cpu. So I believe a basic i5 or advance i3 will do you good.

    I use a geforce Titan And loving it but a cheaper gpu I would recommend is a 770x or 780. 1 gb gpu memory is plenty. Both gives a good PFR and memory bandwidth. The 780 is more expensive ofcouse but can handle better shaders and boost 3D performance.

    For RAM size. Depending on the OS. Windows 8.1 is better when it comes to memory allocation. of course do not get a 32 bit version of any OS as you will not be able to process as much data. I recommend 8 gb 240 pin RAM. 2 sticks. You can get 12 gb if you want ( RAM is cheap). I run 32 gb but I only use 10% of my memory, Even with photoshop. So 8 gb is plenty.

    Hard drive I recommend a ssd for your operating system and one or 2 games. The rest, get a hard disk with a 10000 reading spead. Games like aion and bns run off your hard drive alot, so if you want to decrease your loading speed to a few seconds versus a few minutes, a good HDD or SSD is the way to go.

    Sorry for any messed up stuff in my message. I'm using my phone to type and the auto correct is terrible

    I personally don't like glowing parts because it melts my retina and it also adds extra heat and heat is the number one enemy of a cpu and the end.
