Want to be PC gamer. Need advice please.
Hello guys, this is my first post ever, and I need some advice from someone PC savvy, if that's the correct term. I'm looking to get into PC gaming and am thinking about building my own PC, since I hear it's much cheaper than buying a pre-made one and better to a point. I was wondering what the best brand of components I need/should buy for the best PC experience possible. You may need to be specific if you intend on explaining something to me as I am not very familiar with PC's and the gaming side of them, been a console player since I began playing video games.
If you guys could post the web addresses to online stores that sell the components I'd much appreciate it.
Thank you
Sorry for not editing this in earlier as I should have had this in from the beginning, my budget is around $1000-$1500.

8 RepliesAll Depends on your Budget. How much do you want to spend? Best Bang for Buck Graphics cards out at the moment are from AMD imo , the R9 *** series are very powerful . CPU , again , AMD more bang for buck (A top end AMD CPU are quite cheap and can run games Perfectly , but I have not used them in years, just going by what I've read) . Intel Chips like the "i5's" or "i7's" are great. I still have an old I7 920 (@ 3.8 Ghz) and can still run games like BF4 in Ultra @ 50 -100 FPS on 64 player maps ,( but the R9 290X helps achieve that ... ) Try not to get stuck into the Fanboy -ism of PC gaming , the whole "Nvidia vs AMD" is almost as bad as the Console war between "Sony and Micro soft" (Almost) lol At the end of the day , Choose the best you can afford . If you spend wisely ,the more you spend the longer it will be before you want to upgrade. Both Nvidia and AMD offer great Products for Both GPU and CPU. Do a bit of research , decide what camp you wanna go with , Nvidia/AMD or mix it up between the Two , tell us how much you want to spend and I'll post some links. Building your system is half the fun ... hope it goes well :)
