Here is one I found on Amazon, which has a quad-core processor which should more than handle Ace
That one seems a little heavy, I need to get one that is lightweight for traveling.
How is that possible? Last time I checked PS3 was just an overpriced Blu-ray player.
It has better games than 360. :D
Corsairs used to be good when they were rebadged Seasonics but their Builder series moved away from that and when I checked when building that list they have a gamer series which might as well be a red light of 'well catch fire when drawing remotely close to rated power!'. The TX series should still be the Seasonics but I haven't done the research. I may be excessively picky about PSUs though.
I wouldn't recommend the i7's, the 3770K commands a $100 premium over the 3570K for mostly minor gains. I'd put the extra cash towards more Ultrasharps, a 27", SSD, or future upgrade funds.
For a $500 budget I'd try this (also discovered AMD released Trinity so my CPU knowledge was out of date! This changes things, it's a better cheap CPU w/ GPU chip than anything Intel has.)
Total: $320.
GPU's on-die, steal a DVD drive from another computer. No Windows (+$100). There's room for upgrades too based on budget and what you want. The AMD 5800K CPU is a bit better on both CPU and GPU tasks for an extra $20. TOR looks to be a GPU intensive game so maybe a discrete GPU would give better performance for a $100 bump or so. You can get more HDD storage and better speeds by upgrading the hard drive to a TB platter drive (that one is a 500GB platter drive). I hope the Coolermaster is good enough for a budget machine, it isn't driving some $200-$300 GPU so it should be able to handle that (still miss the Sonata 3).
