Hello,
I'm thinking about making my very first gaming computer, but I'm having some difficulty trying to figure which parts would be best for my budget. If anyone can help me figure this out and educate me a little on computers, that would be ggreat! Thanks everyone!
Budget Range: My budget is around $700 - $800.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, School Work, Browsing the web, Watching videos/movies.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes, I'm gonna need a monitor.
Parts to Upgrade: I'll be needing whole sha-bang. I'm starting from scratch.
Do you need to buy OS: Yes. I don't know what would be best for a gaming computer.. Windows 7 or Windows 8?
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: The only websites i'm familiar with are newegg and amazon, so if you guys have any other great websites, that would be great.
Location: Los Angeles, CA, LOS ANGELES COUNTY
Parts Preferences: Whichever one is best for my budget.
Overclocking: No definitely will not be overclocking. Don't want anything to go wrong haha.
SLI or Crossfire: No
Your Monitor Resolution: A decent sized monitor. Not too big or too small.
Additional Comments: A quiet PC would be nice. I'll be playing Dota2, LoL, Diablo3.
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: The computer I'm using right now can handle some gaming on lowest settings and currently I've been having trouble playing League of Legends ,on the lowest setting, cause of the recent update so I thought it was time to get a gaming computer. I've been contemplating on whether I should buy a laptop that can handle gaming or if I should buy a desktop. Then I came by some posts talking about making their own gaming computer and how much cheaper it is then buying pre-made. I thought it'd be a fun experience making my own computer.
