building a pc for this game

[Gamemako]

This rig will be fully decked out with in a year or so, why buy multiple parts in the future when I can just get it all done now, and just upgrade slower when parts become cheaper by the time I need them.

Your $1200 current rig will be next year's $600 budget rig. Build a complete system without overkill anywhere and you'll have a rig that keeps everything maxed for 3-4 years. My box is 4.5 years old now and still champs through everything. It was $600 at the time and has $130 worth of upgrade in it. I run ARR @ max settings, only get noticeable slowdown in towns and big FATEs (all due to having slow old budget processor -- Phenom II 720 @3.4 with 4th core unlocked). Yeah, it's due an upgrade, but I didn't exactly break the bank to make it, and until the next console generation shows up and games start being made to higher specs, I don't really have need.

This is the build I'm putting together today:

This has to be a joke. A Titan? Today? And a SB-E proc?

I'm going to 1 up this, this is the only build list in this thread that has made any sense at all.

Yes a 120Gb solid state drive with no other HD makes perfect sense.

Mechanical storage is dirt cheap anyways. 120 is more than enough for OS and a few games to start, more storage can be added much later in the road. That list makes a lot more sense than the ones in here that recommend an APU to start.

You would be much better off waiting on the solid state drive. It's not a necessity. Not to mention you could save that money and go with an intel cpu. Which is a much stronger gaming chip.

Its not perfect, but most people have a HDD or two lying around they can throw in a pc, if you're updgrading your old one just scavange it for optical drives and hard drives or just replace the SDD with a normal hard drive.

Ok here is one I built quick on newegg.com. This is about as close to 800 bucks as I could get.

If you include a copy of windows 7 Home Premium for $99.00 the total build is 919.92. Almost forgot, throw in a DvD burner for another $20.00.

I should also add I like this one too, the rebate on the 660ti would essentially pay off the cost of the dvd drive.

Is that a joke?
You can get a gtx760, 7950 or R9 270X for that price.
And the 660 is discontinued. People need to stop recommending it. Bad advise.
