Can you build me a gaming pc?

TwinDenis · Jul 27, 2014

hello, my friend needs a good gaming pc to run everquest next/everquest landmark, black desert and such online mmo next gen games, he cant efford a standalone/premade pc so he was hoping to build one from scratch, we could tell our store what components we want it with and they should make it for us, we search for the lower price-best suited pc for these kind of games, he is not hardcore gamer so he wont play any games like the ones that will come out for pc on the ultra and such, he wants (60) good fps on next gen online games and such, could anyone build a good pc suited for him?
thanks.

we are talking about i7 cuad core 3,6ghz or higher, 8gb ram or higher, gtx 770 or higher kind of pc. he intends to keep it for some years but he is not hardcore and demanding.

What's the budget? And is he doing any video editing/render? If not no need for an i7 and an i5 would be better if it is for mostly gaming, websurfing, etc.

TwinDenis · Jul 27, 2014

just gaming and some simple school projects, he studies to become an geologist, so he is a student.

TwinDenis · Jul 27, 2014

focus on the specific games I posted, they will have high requirements. check them out.

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

Ok so an i5 would be what he needs, also I would like a budget, so that I can make the build to the best of my ability.

AnthonyStew · Jul 27, 2014

This is an expensive High-End build. The i5 4690k is the best you can get imo, i7 isn't needed. The 4690k also allows you to overclock if you would like to do so. This mobo and GPU are high end, and can sustain more voltage if you would like to OC like I said. Corsair 750w is a great psu and should be more than enough. 8gb of very fast RAM. A sexy black case (One of my favorite) from corsair. A samsung EVO SSD; it is extremely fast and realiable, I own one myself. If you feel you need more disk space, buy a WD BLACK 1TB for about 90$ as well. The Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler will keep everything cool for its amazing price, and will also allow you to keep cool at overclocks of about 4.4ghz on the i5 (If you can remain stable that is).

Expensive build, but will crush anything you throw at it.

lets say 500, he still says they are too much but still

AnthonyStew · Jul 27, 2014

TwinDenis :

If you are saying a budget of $500, you would be lucky if you could afford an i5 with any half decent GPU on the market. You can't build a rig that can get 60fps on most new gen games (BF4, DAYZ, ARMA, COD, etc) with only 500$. The i5 and GTX 770 that you want is your entire budget right there.

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

TwinDenis :

You won't be able to get an gtx 770 with a $500 budget, unless you get a crappy psu, mobo, and already have a OS.

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

With a $500 build I would recommend an i3 and a gtx 750ti, if you want a more detailed build, just ask.

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

JAYnine :

No need to 16GB of ram.. and an SSD at this budget wouldn't work and you could get a better CPU or GPU.

JAYnine · Jul 27, 2014

gpu could be a bit better but the cpu is great i dont know wtf are you talking about
amd cpu is more budget friendly unlike those intel cpus that cost all your money with the wallet

*edit
and if you want a better gpu chose
MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127784

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

JAYnine :

I wasn't hating on the CPU, it would be easier at a later date to get an i3 with an H97 mobo, so you can upgrade your cpu later which would be the bottleneck later on. And I'm not making the discussion a intel vs amd discussion. No hate on AMD or intel.

JAYnine · Jul 27, 2014

TryHardVermin :

ye well am just saying cause amd is cheaper and still good
because if you want intel cpu as good as that it will cost you really big money!

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

JAYnine :

TryHardVermin :

ye well am just saying cause amd is cheaper and still good

I agree and for this budget an AMD cpu would be good.

JAYnine · Jul 27, 2014

And the MSI GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127784
what do you think about this?

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

JAYnine :

It's a good card, but I would say an EVGA gtx 750 ti would be better.

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

Here is my build, I'm not familiar very well with AMD CPUs, so I went with the intel, This build is barely above $550, but is better than a "next gen" console.

JAYnine · Jul 27, 2014

ye well your right EVGA gtx 750 Ti is 10$ cheaper aswell

*edit
GTFO with your s**** dual core intel pentium cpu its f****** crap cause dual core! AMD fits 500$ build better cause its cheaper and better performance for less price . And who the hell needs optical drives these days?

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

JAYnine :

Also it is more power friendly

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

If you have to be right at $500 I can do it, so just tell me.

JAYnine · Jul 27, 2014

sorry for hursh words but intel pentium is bad its only 2 cores
and you can take a cpu that doesn't have integrated gpu so it would be cheaper athlon would be great here why isn't athlon here someone (insert AMD Athlon here)AMD Athlon X4 750K http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819113328&cm_re=AMD_athlon-_-19-113-328-_-Product

TryHardVermin · Jul 27, 2014

JAYnine :

I do agree with that, but the AMD mobo's. I have no clue how to chose and what socket.

JAYnine · Jul 27, 2014

Fm2 and fm2+ are the newest socket types.
If you want descent amd cpu for cheap price get something that doesnt have integrated gpu and it has 4 cores

Can you build me a gaming pc?
