Just wanted to drop a quick note to say I finally put this rig together. Here's what I've got under the hood:
1. MSI MAG B550
2. 500GB Toshiba HDD
3. 2x4GB 1600mhz
4. NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti
5. Intel Core i5-3470 3.60GHZ X4
6. Standard Power Supply

I just finished getting Windows 10 Pro set up and I'm sitting at the desktop right now. I'm gonna try installing Call of Duty: Battlefield later on... hopefully this thing can actually handle it. I'll let you guys know how the graphics look on max settings once I get it running.

Also, could someone maybe explain how SLI/Crossfire works? I'm a bit lost there.

Power supply is only 230W, though I don't really know the brand... case is an MS model, and it’s one of those big towers, not a small desktop.

I've already got a case and a power supply, but I guess I could swap them out for something actually decent if needed. Right now, I'm running this 500GB Toshiba hard drive. I did a little digging online, and apparently, an HD 6670 is supposed to be the sweet spot for performance with this CPU. I’d probably drop most of my cash $1333 on that. Also, is this hard drive kind of a joke just because it was the cheapest one they had?

So, I'm thinking about putting this build together: an NVIDIA GTX 750 Ti, an Intel Core i5-3470, a 230W power supply, an MSI MAG B550, and 8GB of RAM. I guess I'm wondering if this is actually a decent setup... like, will I be able to run pretty much anything? Specifically looking at stuff like Call of Duty: Battlefield or Ghosts.🙂
