Guys I really want to get into PC gaming

[Dooby]

But getting into it as in getting a pc is so god damned expensive! I'm even going the route of building my pc but in order to run the latest games I'm looking at around 900-1000 dollars.

Like I said I'm really trying to get into pc gaming but to make the jump is real expensive

Post up the cost of your build and its capabilities if you can...

And any tips or insight on getting better deals on parts would be very much appreciated.

if you're really having money issues, build it in steps. get the gpu last. all jokes aside, you can enjoy a lot of games with just integrated graphics. also don't worry about 'luxuries' like an ssd or excessive memory, as they can be added/upgraded later

just make sure you think ahead, and get a quality psu that can handle whatever gpu you eventually get

the 2 TB HD is whats killing your pockets..

I just started my own business and its building computers and selling them, but ill help a fellow coli bruh out till my site is complete then ill just give yall a discount off my site


Processor: i5-3570k - $220
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K - Newegg.com

Best high-end gaming processors : March 2013

StarCraft II = red
Skyrim = black
Far Cry 3 = blue
Average = green

video card: AMD Radeon 7870 2GB - $215 after rebate
Newegg.com - PowerColor AX7870 2GBD5-2DHPPV2E Radeon HD 7870 GHz EZ Edition (Tahiti LE) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 Video Card (UEFI ready)

it kills everything else under $300 in the video card range.. nothing really close honestly, and its only $215 after rebate. Youd have to get a $300+ card like a GTX670 to best it.

Best mid-range graphics card

RAM: Corsair Vengeance - 8 GB DDR3 1600MHz (this and ripjaws/G.Skills are pretty much gaming standards at this point and HyperX) - $65 (can find cheaper at local frys for like $50 if you have one near by)
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B - Newegg.com

or

G.Skill Sniper 8GB DDR3 1866 MHz - $66
G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 (PC3 14900) Desktop Memory Model F3-14900CL9D-8GBSR - Newegg.com

Hard Drive: Seagate 1 TB HD - $75
Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 Internal Hard Drive - Newegg.com

you dont really need 2 TB and if you do, you can add it later..

That puts you at $580, without a motherboard power supply and case though.

650 Watt Bronze Certified Power Supply - $80
Rosewill HIVE Series HIVE-650 650W Continuous @40°C, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Modular Design, Single +12V Rail, ATX12V v2.31/EPS12V v2.92, SLI Ready, CrossFire Ready, Active-PFC Power Supply - Newegg.com

Z77 motherboard (asus) - $115
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 ATX Intel Motherboard - Newegg.com


$785 before your case (cases can be anywhere from $50-200 depending on a lot of things)

but thats also future proofing your computer with your motherboard (you can find a way cheaper motherboard, probably one around $60 that would put you closer to your $700 goal) but ive personally had bad experiences with cheap motherboards so

heres a list of motherboards thatll work with that computer;

Newegg.com - Computer Hardware, Motherboards, Intel Motherboards, LGA 1155

Starting at $40.. which would put you at $710.. but its up to you at that point.


just for fun I made this same computer on originpc.com which will be one of my competitors , it came out to $1792 with the same parts, comes with windows 7 though. Ima be selling computers like this for around $1000 mark.

I posted this in another thread just a few days ago

you can build a quite alright pc for far less than a g:

~75$ good 600W PSU (OCZ,XFX etc)
~25$ for a cheap case
~100$ motherboard which you could overclock
~150$ intel i5 quad core processor, dont really matter if its lynnfield or sandy bridge, ofc sandy is a little better
~50$ 4GB DDR3 RAM
~100$ 1TB hard drive
now for the gpu I recommend dropping at least 150$ for amd radeon 6850, more if you want your pc to be more future proof

and thats it! voila for about 650$ you got a PC that can run ALL new games at HIGHEST settings
