KnightFire Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 In the somewhat near future I'll be making my own custom gaming computer...the only problem is... I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO BUY OR WHAT WORKS TOGETHER IHRIUH#IU2@JHUIHWOFWDIH! So! I've made this topic so you guys can help me out :faec: I'm looking to spend around $700-800 with as much bang for my buck as I can get. As far as parts go, my only real requests are that the keyboard and mouse match and be somewhat badass. http://accessories.u...7530&lid=627063 Alienware's keyboard and mouse looks pretty sweet but if you guys can find something better I'm all ears. Odi's build was like the final straw that got me excited for overclocking so if you guys wanna hook me up with how to do that correctly I'd be super thankful.But yeah, feel free to shout random processors or graphics cards you think I'll like and be sure to argue with each other!

Bars Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I'll build you a list in a little while. Do you prefer nVidia or ATI, Intel or AMD? If you don't care I'll go with nVidia and AMD for your price range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightFire Posted October 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 Yeah I don't really care to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars Posted October 11, 2011 Report Share Posted October 11, 2011 Soo I went a bit overboard:http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115071$300http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813130611$180http://www.newegg.co...N82E16827106289$20http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814500215$330http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820148419$30http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822136830$150http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817139020$85http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129066$70Total: $1,170 no mouse, no keyboard.This is more conservative:http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819115072$220http://www.newegg.co...N82E16813130611$180http://www.newegg.co...N82E16827106289$20http://www.newegg.co...N82E16814127510$190http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820148419$30http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822136533$80http://www.newegg.co...N82E16817139020$85http://www.newegg.co...N82E16811129066$70Total: $875 If need be I can cut it down to ~650 so you can fit a keyboard, mouse, and monitor. If you want a nice monitor you'll need at least $150, but I recommend getting a used one from Craigslist, just make sure it works before you pay for it. When you get all the parts I can easily tell you how to assemble them on Skype or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightFire Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Awesome Bars, thanks a ton man. I won't be buying the parts yet or building for that matter since I'm still in college, but I'll definitely consider it when I head home for the summer. Let me get your skype now so I can hit you up when I end up going through with it. So obviously these parts work together flawlessly right? Also, will both of these builds be able to handle any game out right now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 I've built a number of machines and researched the interconnect-ability of parts a lot. Those parts have a 98% chance of all working together perfectly. If they didn't it would be due to a Bios revision problem or something in the extreme details I missed, but it seems unlikely. Still other people should look over them and see if they have any problems with my choices. The build on the top should play any game you can throw at it on Ultra settings, with 16x aa, and Netflix in HD or a Blueray HD movie playing on your second monitor, at a stable 30+ fps. The second build could play any game you throw at it on Ultra with 4-8x aa, and no peripheral programs. You should have told me it was almost 7 months until you wanted to buy this stuff lol, in 7 months you'll have a ~20% increase in performance-per-cost.

KnightFire Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Wait you mean in 7 months I'll need better stuff to play the games out at that time? I'm confused. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bars Posted October 12, 2011 Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 In 7 months you'll get the $1,170 setup for about $900, or the $865 for about $680. So if your price range remains the same, re-post here when your actually thinking about purchasing it and I'll compile a better list. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightFire Posted October 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2011 Ah gotcha. That's pretty sweet. I'll definitely re-post thanks for all the help Bars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
