-:Build Me A PC:-

Lol

^build that. He has 32 million subscribers on youtube. He has over 2000 videos of him playing video games mostly from his computer. Thatll get you where you want.

 

I'm surprised no one has poped in and said "why not buy a Mac :handz:"

 

Your power supply might not be enough for some of those high end video cards. They vid card manufacturers typically recommend PS needed. Too little power and odd issues occur with gaming. I helped my son last year build his gaming PC around an Intel i7 and he is doing well on Counter Strike Source.

 

Better PSU and a couple 760s or one 780 and you'll be doing just fine with what you've already got. Toss in a SSD too while you're at it for a system/game drive and you'll see an enormous boost just from that by itself.

I built a tower that can handle just about any game out, and spent around $700 on it. I don't really play games anymore, but I needed to upgrade for school. So why not spend $700 for a gaming tower rather than spending $1000 on a store bought tower that can't handle that. It has all the fancy lights, and fans.




On that site, you can find other computers that people have built, and how much they payed for them.

 

If you want to catch up on what's current, I remember using these two sites quite a bit for my build last year:

http://www.logicalincrements.com/ to make sure my build was appropriately balanced.

http://www.cpubenchmark.net/ because I wasn't looking to build a monster, and that helped to put bang-for-your-buck into perspective.

I am very happy with what has resulted. I hit my budget on the nose, and have been thrilled with performance. Holiday sales are coming so if you really want some deals, do your research and find those bundles! Unfortunately, if you're picky, you may have to spend some extra coin to get what you really want.

 

There's a video card benchmarking site by the same people too that is useful for comparisons:

I use unicorn blood in my CPU and GPU water blocks. Let's me overclock them to 11.

 

Dayum.

Heres a link to my last build, maybe it'll give ya some ideas? overclock.net is my main site. Agree with the member above about PSU, SSD, (850pro or crucial m5?) and a pair of R9's or 780's.

 

I've seen multiple P4s get hot enough (usually Dells with aluminum heat sinks that have been stopped up with dust) that the melt into the heatsink and the ink on the processor that spells out the model info, etc. gets transferred over to the heatsink...

 

Ah thanks, I should've pointed out the tabs where you can compare everything else!
