Building a gaming computer

I just put together a build I would put together on a $850 budget:
Intel Core i5 3570K $235.00
EVGA GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB $335.00
ASRock Z77M Motherboard $089.00
BitFenix Shinobi Black Case $069.00
Corsair CMX8GX3M2A1600C9 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 $045.00
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular $079.00

I went a bit cheap on the mobo but I believe that this build will run all of the newest games on max settings, also relatively good at video and model rendering.

I didn't bother with the OS, get windows 8 for $40 if you want and then iso+mount it onto a usb.

The 6870 is pretty much equivalent performance-wise to a 5850; my 5850 can play most games maxed out with 60+ FPS, but I definitely don't see FPS in the hundreds, unless you're talking about low resolutions like 1280x1024 and the like.

In any case, it's irrelevant; good performance is subjective.

I don't know what it is, it ran with an older motherboard, but it easily handled games from 2011. We've built a new one now. But back to the matter at hand, the PC rig that you posted is just fine.

Anyway the 6870 is a good card but not really what I would get in the way of a more future proof card. I bet the card in you current computer is a 6000 series nvidia card I could see a 6800 playing some games at low rez.

So I wasn't able to build the computer back in September but am ready now. My new question is has anything changed for the better in the past few months or is Kleptos build still the one to make?

I would say everything has been fairly stagnate, as far as technological progress.

Still pretty much around the same man.
