Hello, I want to build my own pc to save some money. I want it to be able to run games such as Skyrim, BF4, Borderlands 2 and other FPS games at high settings. I would want to keep it below $600 including the OS and monitor. I wanted a build from my previous post ($800 build) but everything combined with shipping will cost about $1000+ because I'm in Indonesia.

Approximate Purchase Date: This month

Budget Range: $600

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, surfing the internet, movies, music

Are you buying a monitor: Yes

Do you need to buy OS: Yes

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Anything is good.

Location: City, State/Region, Country - Indonesia

Parts Preferences: Anything is good except for Intel HD graphics (Had bad experience with it)

Overclocking: Maybe

Your Monitor Resolution: Anything over 1280x1024

Additional Comments: I'm gonna mostly use it to play Skyrim with hi res mods, Borderlands 2 and many FPS games such as BF3

And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: My current PC is very bad and can barely run anything even in low settings.

Anyway, thanks guys.

http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2N6mS this is over $6 but this is the best considering your budget. and with the monitor reso 1600x900 you can play bf4 with that build maybe medium to high without AA. 8gb of ram is necessary to play bf4. 4gb just wont be able to run it. you will have stutterings. and when you have additional budget for your comp on the future. go buy a discrete graphics card and that will be already a good rig

Ps: You might want to buy a decent cpu cooler for overclocking. hyper212 evo is a good cooler AND DISREGARD THE 500W COOLER MASTER POWER SUPPLY I PUT THERE AS I ALREADY CHOSE A CASE WITH A BUNDLED 500w POWER SUPPLY. SORRY CANT EDIT THE BUILD TO REMOVE THE POWER SUPPLY.

you will not play bf4 at 1080p on a apu its going to look like dogshit. do yourself a favor invest your 600$ into hardware and get the monitor when you can afford it.

he doesn't have a choice. he said that he needs to buy a monitor

and a 4gb ram cant play bf4. it will have stutterings. bf4 sometimes spikes to 6gb.

all based on experience, i used to have 4gb ram since 4gb is typically enough for gaming, but i needed to add another 4gb just to get rid of the stutterings
