menny Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Hi guys! Some days ago I was thinking that it is time for an upgrade. I have an ASUS notebook and it did it's job for 4 years at least, but now is time for something else. Since I am not in need of a laptop anymore, could you please help me to build a desktop pc with good performances,that could run some of the last games? ( I am not pretending miracles ) Thanks guys for any advice! Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769301-500600%E2%82%AC-gaming-pc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
yoječ Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 What country do you live in? Do you need OS and peripherals, like monitor, mouse, keyboard, etc.?

menny Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Yes I need those. I wanna spend 600€ max. for the machine itself. Obviously if you can show me some peripherals ( not too expensive possibly), I'll be glad. I live in Italy BTW.

yoječ Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 Can you link to your preferred online computer part shops? That'd help Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769301-500600%E2%82%AC-gaming-pc/?do=findComment&comment=1067026732 Share on other sites More sharing options...
menny Posted February 26, 2015 Author Share Posted February 26, 2015 Ehmmm I don't have one ( lol ). Is Amazon good? Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769301-500600%E2%82%AC-gaming-pc/?do=findComment&comment=1067026742 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted February 26, 2015 Share Posted February 26, 2015 (edited) Ehmmm I don't have one ( lol ). Is Amazon good? Amazon is okay, not always the cheapest option. I'll see what I can get together but I'd look around for some tech stores as PC Part Picker's price database for Italy is pretty limited. Google.it has the shopping tab I should be able to get something in knowing some slightly lower prices. Not the easiest thing to pull off. Most parts have custom prices from sites that PC Part Picker doesn't list.

As you said 600 for the machine that's all I've bothered with, however, there are some upgrades that I'd recommend. Personally I'd go for this mobo: http://it.pcpartpicker.com/part/asus-motherboard-m5a97evor20 It's not that the MSI board is bad, based on the review scores it seems to be \a pretty decent board. I'd also save up for a Hyper 212 Plus or Evo and overclock the CPU when you've installed it. I'd also save up for an SSD to use as the boot drive.

What is the price if we add the things you said? I bet we are over 700€ Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769301-500600%E2%82%AC-gaming-pc/?do=findComment&comment=1067030901 Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMcSame Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Well this seems a pretty good build! What is the price if we add the things you said? I bet we are over 700€ Something like that. You don't need the 212 or an SSD straight away but if you can be a bit flexible with the budget I'd go for the Asus motherboard that I linked which would put the build at something like 607 EUR.

yoječ Posted February 27, 2015 Share Posted February 27, 2015 Alternatively you might consider getting i3-1460 instead of FX-6300. Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/769301-500600%E2%82%AC-gaming-pc/?do=findComment&comment=1067031419 Share on other sites More sharing options...
menny Posted March 2, 2015 Author Share Posted March 2, 2015 I'm curious..If I want to play GTA V to the max, how much I have to spend and what build I can choose? Sorry for the late answer.

yoječ Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 (edited) I'd say you'd have to spend like €700-800. Hard to tell when the game's not even released and there are no benchmarks.
