Building my new computer

LuckyYoCharmz · Jul 22, 2014

Recently I've been trying to build a new computer, but i'm not professional at knowing that much about parts. So I need to see if this build will be good enough for high settings in games and no lag at all? Here is the link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/PRrXJx

What games do you want to play?
What's your budget?

I mostly play a lot of mmo's or APB Reloaded, and occasional i play minecraft. I don't play much Call Of Duty or games like that. My budget is about $800-900.

WOW Thanks! The only problem here is that I don't have any idea on how to use an SSD and what it's for. I think its better to keep the motherboard because no offence, but its kinda an overkill. The graphics card looks great but i'm not sure that it might do better than the gtx 760 since its not 280x, but if i'm wrong please correct me.

If you are willing to go a bit over budget, you can get the r9 280x.
Or if you pass on the SSD, you can probably get a r9 290
Here's a little benchmarking.

The 280x is an overclocked 280

Wow, now I see how good it is. Thanks. But, if I do choose to have an SSD what do you use it for?

woworwow · Jul 24, 2014

Install your OS and apps or games that you use a lot of the time. SSD will make the loading times faster

@LuckyYoCharmz - the SSD is basically a much faster HDD.
You install the OS and a few games on the SSD, and use the HDD only for storage.

Cool, alright. Now, this is my build currently: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/m3KQcf
the thing is that they're might be a problem with the graphics card size in the case. I wanted to ask you if you actually knew if it fits?

woworwow · Jul 24, 2014

Yes, that case should be big enough to fit everything

Pr3di · Jul 24, 2014

It will fit. Click on the card in pcpartpicker, and go to compatible cases - you will find it there.

Great, thanks guys I officially have my build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/BMJD7P
I decided to go with MSI because I know it has great quality products. Thank you guys for both your help

I would only go for Win 8.1 if possible.
I don`t like Win 8/8.1, but from what I read, the 8.1 is better optimized for gaming.

woworwow · Jul 24, 2014

You can download the 8.1 update for free if you change your mind
