    Hey guys
    As some of you know I play War Thunder on a laptop. And as this laptop is not able to keep up with the heat generated
    while playing (Shut down twice from the heat). And yes I clean out vents fans ect.
    I have decided to build my own PC. I would like to keep this build on a budget. Say around $600. to $700. Case and core components ..
    I have researched some options. Any Feedback would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    i3-3240 is a couple bucks cheaper, and slightly faster.

    I'd also recommend a 7790 over the GTX 650 TI, it's cheaper and performs better.

    well in WT, there isnt much of a drastic difference but its up to him. If he prefers the amd cards he can grab it. Good catch!

    The first one, specs wise, looks pretty good HL, but no displays with them.

    You guys are awesome, thanks for the suggestions. I have heard some good and bad on the AMD products. I am by no means
    a techno geek more of a plug and play guy. I currently run on a wireless network .Not sure if its better to be connected directly
    to the modem but I assume it is.Also I think I an optical drive to install the operating system and copy CD's to my I tunes library.
    I have always bought PC's / Laptops from local stores. This Laptop (Toshiba Qosmio) I ordered from Toshiba. The thing is
    They all come preloaded with so much crap. I was hoping to do a build and avoid all the crap that I don't want.
    Am I thinking on the right path or would it be better to go store/website made PC?
