Low budget build for gaming (mainly LoL)

iMarr · Jul 28, 2013

This is the first time I have decided to build a pc and I'm seeking help to build one. My budget is around $500-600. If anyone can make and link to a build on pcpartpicker it would be awesome. I'm mostly going to want to play league of legends but will not only limit myself to that game. CoD and BF are also games I'm interested in. I want to be able to play in good settings. I'm completely new to all this so help is greatly appreciated.

johnnyb105 :

That PSU is complete trash. Stick with Corsair, Antec, XFX, Seasonic.

iMarr · Jul 28, 2013

tiny voices :

To be honest, I have no idea what is good or not. I have the money to buy this. I just want to know if I'm getting my money worth. I know little to nothing about pc's.

tiny voices · Jul 28, 2013

This is as good of a PC as you will get for the money. It is considerably more powerful than everything else posted.

johnnyb105 · Jul 28, 2013

Ok the above build the way I figure it costs roughly 426.00 minus rebates and discounts comes to 44 bucks so this is total cost of....382.00 after rebates and discounts... Happy building...

This build is ok but upgrade to a GTX650 Ti boost 2gb or Hd 7850 2gb video card and a motherboard that has a heat sink on the mosfets like a MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ or Asus M5A97 R2.0 ATX AM3+, Asrock and Gigabyte make good MOBO's also.

tiny voices :

is johnnyb105's build any good?

tiny voices · Jul 28, 2013

There will be no difference between a 2gb and 1gb 7850. The card runs out of steam long before the Vram runs out. This has been proven many times. Also do not get a 650ti boost because it is LESS powerful than a 7850.

tiny voices · Jul 28, 2013

iMarr :

Not really. It is VERY underpowered compared to mine and uses a crap PSU. It will be many times worse for gaming.

rojodogg · Jul 28, 2013

Go to pcpartpicker.com and make your own build with what you want.

He said he has no idea what he is doing. That is why we are here to help.

iMarr · Jul 28, 2013

tiny voices :

thank you very much tiny voices. I'm debating with myself if i want to spend the $550 on the pc.

tiny voices · Jul 28, 2013

If you change budgets let me know and I will put together the best build possible for the money.

iMarr · Jul 28, 2013

tiny voices :

what about for a $300-400 budget?

thanks for the time to build, but those builds are a bit out of my price range.
