$750 Gaming PC

Rodbrollin · Jul 15, 2014

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a $750 gaming pc build including the wifi-card and a monitor which I’m guessing will run me about $130 for those things so probably a $620 build? Thanks guys!

Karsten75 · Jul 15, 2014

I'm always more keen to help someone that show interest by proposing their own build first. You do some work, we do some work. That way we don't totally miss the mark of what you have in mind.

ok, a monitor is about $150 so it's going to be a $600 gaming pc.

Karsten75 · Jul 15, 2014

TechyInAZ :

There are plenty of $129 monitors or even a bit lower (in 1080). Not many I'd use, but they do exist.

When you can, get a cpu cooler but the intel stock cooler will suffice until you can get one.

Rodbrollin · Jul 15, 2014

Ehh... Still looking for the perfect answer and @Karsten64 I would prefer AMD because it is better bang for your buck so I was thinking something with FX-6300. There you go.

Karsten75 · Jul 15, 2014

Good luck, I'm out.

Here is a $800 PC build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Kg7Gbv a CPU cooler is included for some overclocking OS and optical drive not included.

Karsten75 · Jul 15, 2014

Ha, I guess you missed that the guy also wanted a monitor?

ThatGmodGuy · Jul 15, 2014

How's this look?

Edit: You can grab a Windows 7/8/8.1 key on http://www.reddit.com/r/softwareswap for ~$20

Perhaps the following build maybe adequate. You can always upgrade the processor and GPU later on, when you save up funds; the motherboard will support next generation Intel processors, that's 5th generation Broadwell.

@ThatGmodGuy That is an insane build you have right there. Under $750 with everything that I need. I like it but do you mind switching out the CPU to AMD and the motherboard to something AMD Compatible? I really like this build. It is great.

Rodbrollin :

I'm LMAO off here. That's why I don't create build for guys like you that won't create the first config themselves. That's the 2nd time you ask people to change stuff after initially giving them no directions. Look at your OP:

Rodbrollin :

Man I don't think he cares if you create a build for him or not. Plenty of other people are willing to help.

VenBaja · Jul 15, 2014

OP, are you going to be getting a retail copy of Windows with this build?

VenBaja · Jul 15, 2014

ThatGmodGuy :

Gmod, you could probably drop the SSD and get a better motherboard. Maybe a decent 970 board that can overclock well.

Silver Wolf · Jul 15, 2014

If you look in my profile you will see a decent computer. It ran about $550-600, you would need to spend about $50 on a case and might spend more than the $75 I spent on my 23" HDMI LCD HDTV that I use for a monitor, so might come out to about $750 if you spend on those. This was bought about 6 months ago, so I went with a new 3rd gen i5 ($180 new, including shipping). I did buy some used/refurbished parts but they are holding up well.

MSI B75A-G43 motherboard, Intel i5-3470, 160 gb Intel SSD 2nd gen, 500 gb WD
7200 RPM SATA hard drive, DVD/RW with Lightscribe, 16 gb DDR3 PC1333 RAM
(4x4gb), AMD R7 250 2gb PCI-e x16 video card, 40+ all in 1 card reader, 700 w Power Supply

Rodbrollin · Jul 15, 2014

Thanks for the help everyone. I've been doing research here and there, but advice from experienced people always helps the most. Everything is greatly appreciated and thanks for the time. I will definitely be looking into the parts from all of your builds. Thank you.

Yeah I forgot but it is difficult to build a $750 gaming PC with a monitor.

Goodbye

Euam · Sep 1, 2014

Will this be able to play next gen games like Borderlands:The Pre Sequel and GTA V PC on max settings

ThatGmodGuy · Sep 2, 2014

Euam :

Borderlands: The Pre Sequel, definately, GTA V, probably not, maybe on medium/high, depending on your resolution & if you use AA or not.

This build would still not be able to do it either, but it is a better build:

I particularly like the last build myself... I am going to aim for a few of the items as a group of upgrades (I want the video card and probably switch to the lower power power supply for better electric bill cost)
