Budget Rigs for ARR - First Timer

[Tsukichu]

The only recommendation I would make is get an nivdia graphics card instead of AMD, now I am biased towards nvidia but I'm building my own PC as well & I've found out in my research that nvidia cards are optimized for intel CPUs, so if you want the most out of your graphics card i would go nvidia (i personally recommend a GTX 500 series or better). Hope this helps & good luck with your build!

Thank you, I've heard that as well but Nvidia's seem to be slightly more expensive I've noticed. But it turns out for 12 dollars less I can actually get a GTX 660 ti 2gb. I'll probably go with that instead.

Yeah, I was telling Babydoll that earlier about the GTX 660 Ti card. I may see if Best Buy has any deals for the card, but money is tight for me right now so I have to wait.

If you have the time to wait, I'm a huge fan of crawling Newegg for their daily deals. Took me a while to get my pc giblets but I saved so much money D:

My laptop NVIDIA card has 3GB of RAM built into it. Hopefully in the years to come, there will be a way to freely switch your graphics cards by just taking out the chip and popping in a new one, much like putting a game card into a Nintendo DS.

You already can, but it's fairly limited. Many Clevo/Sager based laptops have user upgradable GPU cards.
