BR-Z Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Hey I'm looking to actually build my own PC. I went on different websites looking if I could find one pre-built. Then I saw that that you can actually build your own PC. I'm not looking to play like GTA V on Max settings or anything, I'm just an average gamer and I was wondering if this was a good build. To be honest, the price isn't bad. I'm probably getting it but I have a extra few hundred for a better Graphics card. So if you guys could help me and give advice that would be terrific.

Andreas Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 It would help if you post a link to a store in your country. In which country do you live and what is your budget? What games do you play particularly? GTAForums Crew Chat Thread - The Sharks Chat Thread - Leone Family Mafia Chat Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR-Z Posted June 28, 2013 Author Share Posted June 28, 2013 Link to Store Here. Click above to get a link to the page where it lists all the Desktop Computers. Also, I live in the US. My budget is pretty much anywhere in between $400-$900. I don't want to go overboard because it took a while on saving up for this. I figured I'd get this instead of another console soo yeah... Basically I play the Grand Theft Auto series (wont be playing V on PC unless my 360 breaks). Then I play Need for Speed or any racing game pretty much. Battlefield is also a must, no matter what settings I play it on I need to play it. That's all I play really... not much but I suppose I could get all of these + more from EA's Origin Client and Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR-Z Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 Sorry for the bump but I've been looking for websites/stores that allow you to build your own PC but I think Walmart is the only one that does it in my area. Also I need to get advice on whether I should buy this or not quickly, I have to make my mind up in a few days as I can't have shipped to my home. It needs to be shipped to the store for me.

Andreas Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 (edited) It is up to you from which store you buy the PC parts, but you certainly get more for your money if you build it yourself. That's what you could get from newegg...

BR-Z Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 That seems like a good build, thanks for the links and reccomendations. I have indeed changed my budget up. $500-$1200. I figured I could get a better Graphics card with that budget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR-Z Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 That seems like the best build you've given me imo. I still need time as I only have $930 right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 I'd recommend swapping the HD7970 for a HD7950. The difference between the two is honestly negligible at best, and certainly not worth $100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 Unless you're gaming on multiple monitors at super high resolutions, there's really no need for the $400 HD 7990. I put this build together which is much better as it includes modern components and an SSD. And it's a few bucks cheaper too.

unc13bud Posted June 29, 2013 Share Posted June 29, 2013 i might have missed it, but did you post your monitor's resolution? that is one of the most important considerations. i forget about battlefield 3 recommended specifications, but i know gta iv likes high ghz quad core CPUs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BR-Z Posted June 29, 2013 Author Share Posted June 29, 2013 My monitor's resolution is 1024x768 I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unc13bud Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 so you saw my other post right? you could buy a AMD x2 system. i found this, but its is ugly, i would have to put it all in a nxzt 210 case or something http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16883103795 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Also the GPU is quite bad... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn 7 five 11 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 (edited) I'd go for Ryan's build, the original one posted sucks. I would help more but again I have no net access aside from mobile at the moment. Also uncle buds link is also a terrible choice, much worse actually.
