Hi, I'm thinking to buy a computer, that has stable frames when playing games on med graphics, for ex. Battlefield 3 or BO2. I'm building it myself, and the price budget is about 600-700€ (or 786-918$).

REQUESTS:

*Small case, I need portability

**Stable frames

*Good price to cost rate

  • = must, but a bonus.

** = MUST

THANK YOU IN FOREHAND AND LEAVE THE PARTS BELOW! :)

That looks cool, because it's cube-like. 19,5L volume, it's really good. Thanks! :)

Which items do you already have? Do you need screen, keyboard, OS, dvd drive?

A nice list, but just over budget would be:
Intel Core i5 4430
ASRock B85M-ITX
Crucial Ballistix Tactical BLT2C4G3D1608ET3LX0CEU
MSI GeForce GTX 760 2GB Twin Frozr Gaming
Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 ST2000DM001, 2TB
Fractal Design Node 304 Black
Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 450W

Of course I would recommend a SSD, but with current budget the above might be more useful.

760 is a nice choise, probably on my shopping list. 2tb might be too much, since I have a 2 tb hard drive. 1tb would be enough. Nice list and thank you for taking the time to help me! You made a big difference! :)

If you are only looking to run things on medium, get the GTX 660ti (older version of the 760). Its almost the same and costs about 40-60 quid less.

Case: Antec One (or other)
Motherboard: Gigagbyte GA-970A-UD3 or ASUS M5A97
CPU: AMD FX-6300
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
RAM: Corsair 2x4GB (low profile)
GPU: Gigabyte GTX 660 2GB OC or if you want you can choose Sapphire/Gigabyte HD7850/7870 2GB
PSU: Seasonic SS-520GB or Corsair CX500

I don't know your region prices but you can calculate that yourself. It will be more or less then 600€.

PS: In future, when you have money you will have to get SSD.

For something really small without having to build yourself, check out IronsideComputer's mini-PC (Sting) or Voyager. Both are customizable to a degree, so you should be able to get the specs you want for a reasonable price.

I could go check that! But I am looking to build it myself and orfering the parts from Germany, because of the taxes. In Finland, taxes are skyhigh! :P
