I've been playing 360 for a fair old while now, and have been wanting to get into PC for a couple of years but have never made the plunge...It's been a little while since I've taken a look into newer graphics cards so a bit of advice on what's about would be appreciatedPC gamer here
Main games I'd be playing are the likes of Battlefield 3. And well yeah, that I know budget is a big thing that'll come into it, but I already have plenty of storage (not to say I wouldn't mind more), so that cuts down some of the potential cost.
Also please no lmgtfy links or posts saying consoles are better I will say 'your couch' in advance to any of you thinking of it
Here are my personal choice for my future upgrade:
CPU: i5 3570 (ivy)
CPU Cooler: CM Hyper 212 EVO
GPU: Sapphire HD 7850 OC
Mobo: Gigabyte Z77 UD3H
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB 1600MHz (dual channel)
HD: Western Digital Blue 500GB
SSD: Intel SSD 330 Series Sata 3
PSU: Corsair GS600
Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Gunmetal
Check them out, they are the best I can come up with since I'm on a tight budget
