Help me $500 computer build

TraceDaBoss · Jun 18, 2013

Can someone build me a computer with at least 4 cores i would prefer Intel but i know that they are expensive. This is my first build and i am 12 and i plan to game some pretty Cpu/Gpu intensive games and i also plan to record while I'm gaming with something like fraps... Im not restricted to exactly 500 bucks but i would prefer to not go over that. I have windows 7 64 bit OS but i dont know if it is pro or home edition. I dont have a monitor but i dont need to include it in the build and i need a decent keyboard and a mouse. Plz help!!! And it would be nice if i got benchmarks with it. Thank you in advance.

Nice to see somebody interested in computers at such a young age

Well you can start with an AMD Phenom II X4 965. That is a pretty beastly processor for $100. Also, to top it, you can grab a 7790 for around $100 as well, such as this one: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161402
that should give you a pretty good starting point.

A little over $500 and will get about 30fps on max ultra 1080p so if you drop the quality down you will be fine
