4 gigs isn't enough for gaming and he needs PSU AND OS.

Eximo · Aug 6, 2013

And 5400rpm laptop drives don't make for good desktop builds either...

Sangeet Khatri · Aug 6, 2013

If you need OS, then this build is the one you should go for. Update: Also if you don't plan on overclocking :

Will post the non OS version soon.

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 6, 2013

BIOSTAR ? Optical Drive? OS?

He asked for a Build.

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 6, 2013

I agree , BIOSTAR is useless , and no OS , or DVD drive.

Sangeet Khatri · Aug 6, 2013

And if you do not need the OS, then this build is pretty good. You can also overclock with this one :

Unless you are not overclocking the Biostar should be just fine. Anyways if he does not need an OS, then he can definitely go for the other build that I suggested. It is not bad at all..

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 6, 2013

Add an optical drive to it.

The 200R is said to have HDD heating issues as said in a review of the case in Anandtech.

Also there is nothing wrong with the Bitfenix Merc Alpha. It is a pretty good case for the price. I mean what is wrong in that case. Can you please specify. It has got good reviews all over the Internet.

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 6, 2013

Awesome build , just bump the ram to 8 gigs and use 2 ram modules , so it will run in dual channel mode.

Sangeet Khatri · Aug 6, 2013

Guys have a look at this one. Looks like a better balanced rig for gaming. 7870 GHz Edition > 7850.

Update : Added the Optical Drive. Forgot to add it again, though that has been updated now. Sorry for that.

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 6, 2013

How about an optical drive ^

Sangeet Khatri · Aug 6, 2013

AAh..!! Sorry man.. forgot to add that again. I don't know what is it with me and Optical Drives! LOL!

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 6, 2013

Nice builds everyone , the OP will have some nice ones to choose from.

Sangeet Khatri · Aug 6, 2013

The only imaginable problem could be that he would get too confused with too many builds.

Dark Lord of Tech · Aug 6, 2013

That's a nice one , would run real nice.

refllect · Aug 6, 2013

I'd prefer this. It's more upgradable but you probably wouldn't need to. Switch out the motherboard if you plan on adding a 2nd video card later.

thanks guys

Sangeet Khatri · Aug 8, 2013

Thank You! It is a compliment in itself when your build gets selected in the builds between the builds of Awesome and more experienced guys like SR-71 Blackbird. So, it is an honor.

Also, post the pics of your build once it is built. You know.. just for fun!

Anyways, have fun building your PC.
