Building A PC
So even with the new consoles coming out, I am still thinking about building a new gaming PC. So I wanted to know what you guys use to build a decent gaming PC. I am not looking to spend to much(Over a $1000).

With staying close to 1000USD, this is your best possible bet. Plus, nothing was left out like Cooling you NEED and an Operating system that you NEED. The FX-6350 CPU has a base clock of about 3.9ghz. CPUs can be overclocked and this one does it well. Sadly if you don't have the right cooling, you may very well kill your CPU in a matter of months. Luckily, the cooler is quiet, easy to install, and is pretty much made for overclockers. In culmination, your CPU can get [b]4.5[/b]-[b]5.1[/b]ghz safely. Most people with 800 dollar Intel CPUs never even see 4.8, let alone even do it safely. Your Radeon 7950 graphics card is definitely the deal in terms of price/performance ratio. With the 7950 and the FX-6350 (Overclocked.) , you can get a steady 100+ FPS in Battlefield 3 at 1080P. But you can get better. Not only can you Overclock your 7950 for a 10%-40%, but also the RAM in the cart runs at about 2133mhz, which is extremely fast compared to their 1600mhz and lower counterparts. You Mid tower NXTZ Phantom 410 is badass. Especially in Red. [url]http://www.2cooltek.com/images/T/CS-NT-PHAN-410-R_0001A.jpg[/url]. If Red doesn't satisfy your eye, the 410 also comes in Red, Black, Grey, and White. All models of the 410 come with 3 fans, your cooling system comes with 2 fans, the Power supply has a big fan built inside of it, and the 7950 graphics also has a built in fan. Ultimate Cooling Power.

Edited by Bistromathics: 8/19/2013 1:45:06 PMI finished building my PC just a couple weeks ago on a $400 budget. I was able to get a lot of help about selecting parts, finding awesome sales, and putting everything together from some Reddit communities. [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc]General subreddit for advice on building your PC.[/url] Be sure to read the [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapc/wiki/beginnersguide]beginner's guide.[/url] [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcforme]Fill out a list of your needs and people put together a parts list for you.[/url] [url=http://www.reddit.com/r/buildapcsales]Sales on components. Helped me a lot, since I was on a tiny budget.[/url]

Make sure to use a SSD instead of HDD. The ssd is vastly quicker than a hdd. You can have really nice gpu and ram and what not, but people tend to forget that their hdd disc speed is a large limiting factor in their computer performance.

I'll give you my advice: don't believe Intel shills; AMD is fine in both departments for gaming.

8 RepliesEdited by ThisIsForMarty: 8/18/2013 7:36:16 AMIs this in your price range? This is a pretty high end build that will ultra pretty much everything. If thats too expensive you can go the amd route. [url]http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1pOgD[/url]

4 RepliesPC Part Picker is a good site that compares the prices on other sites for you. Also, watch the 3 Newegg videos on YouTube - I had no knowledge of PCs whatsoever before watching these vids last year and just building my rig. Have fun!

Why not buy an Xbox One as well? Or a Wii U.

I'm building one myself, and my budget is not over 800, and I can probably get a pretty good one. Of coarse 1000 would get you a high end pc, anything below is good. If you don't mind me asking, what parts are you using?

1 ReplyFind different sites which have guides for components. Here are two sites I find useful: [url]http://www.logicalincrements.com/[/url] [url]http://www.tomshardware.com/[/url] However, you don't need to follow component guides exactly. Always research your parts from multiple sources, this will get you the most information, and you can compare prices to get the best deals. Also, you don't really need more than 8GB of RAM.
