Whats The Best Gamming Build For My Budget? Im thinking about building a PC myself instead of buying a pre built gamming pc from new egg because ive heard the stuff they use to build there pc's dont last and people have trouble with them in the future. So this is going to be the first time building a gamming pc. My budget is 900$. I want something that can play anything such as BF4 etc. On Max settings. I do alot of recording and with my previous pc had a problem where i would be getting good frame rates but when fraps comes on it drops alot. So im hoping this pc wont have that problem.
 
Solution
Here it is. It doesn't have an optical drive nor an OS. But I tried to make it under $900

Just to be sure. You don't really need an SSD to record. I record a lot of games and only have a 2TB hard drive.

I record a lot of games that require a good computer, well kind of do.
BF4
BF3
Cod Bo2
Rust
TF2
SoliderFront
League of Legends.. And a lot more.

But it's just a suggestion, I wouldn't want to get on you for that. But for a person that does have an experience of recording video games, it doesn't require and SSD.
