Hello, I need help

JordanYoung · Oct 20, 2013

Lately I've made the decision too build a gaming pc, I need help on which parts too buy my budget is in the region of $800-900 I would like to play games like skyrim, Starcraft, minecraft, bf4(when it comes out) and games like that, would I be able to get a pc like that for the money I would be willing to pay? I would also like to install mods.

Thanks in advance.

Yeah you're probably looking at a i5-4430 and GTX 760. Try something like this:

Memory: Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($86.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($69.99 @ Newegg)

If you're willing to go slightly over budget:

PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant / Benchmarks

CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($229.99 @ Newegg)
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($35.98 @ Newegg)
Motherboard: Asus Z87-C ATX LGA1150 Motherboard ($145.66 @ Newegg)
Memory: Mushkin Blackline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($86.99 @ Newegg)
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($69.99 @ Newegg)

Total: $958.55
(Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available.)

The difference between the two builds is that one has an unlocked multiplier for overclocking which would be a significant speed boost, and the other doesn't.
