Need Pre Built PC Help

[Goma]

honestly the 6100 will do you fine and I wouldn't say you'd need the extra cash for the i7 2600k the 2500k is just as good for gaming and runs around 200~250$ US. Having said that the 6100 isn't so amazing for gaming as it cannot utilize the extra cores as well. It is great however if you do a lot of multi tasking but most os's are not optimized for AMD's architecture just yet, hopefully in the future..

I would not recommend buying a pc part by part over a long period though. If your mother board is bad and you don't find out until 6 months down the line you've lost that much time on your warranty, you're better off saving and buying all your base parts at one time.

Also as far as running FFXIV in high settings, check out my blog I have a mini guide detailing how to squeeze more performance out of your game with ATI and Nvidia cards. Everybody who has used it has seen a FPS boost and diminished lag. Any problems and you can catch me in game or try me on my blog.

P.S. Forgot to add, the 6100 will run the game just fine, go for it if it's in your price range, the performance is worth the ticket cost.
