I'm looking for a computer that can run a few games (league of legends, maybe some shooters) on high quality with at least 60fps. My
budget is $920. I can't go above that price.
If you guys have any suggestions, please comment it below.
Many thanks,
Daniel

Here is a build with a better CPU that you can OC for the same price.

Is the stock fan for the 4690k good enough or will I have to buy one?

Well first off the build is over $920 that you gave us.... And secondly are you looking to overclock?
You can also save yourself some money by getting a 750 ti that's only $150. That way you can get your build price back under your budget. Then you can spend some extra money on a nice mouse.

If you want to OC at all you will need to buy one... I have one added into my build. I edited it putting a different video card in to save you another $15.

I'm not looking to overclock (sorry there's no reply feature on the mobile version of this site)

I had mail-ins turned off sorry.

Dnlchong :

Ok I made the changes for a non-overclock build - was able to upgrade the GPU to a GTX 770 and still keep it under $900.

flamefire999 :

Why are you trying to get him to lower the GPU in a GAMING build... where GPU is pretty much the main thing he needs to put money into?

Dnlchong · Aug 1, 2014

@derza10, thank you very much! You helped me out a lot.

Derza10 :

I had mail-ins turned off so when I looked at the build it was way over what it should have been. So that was the closest he could get without sacraficing the CPU

Dnlchong :

NP! I changed out the motherboard in the last build i linked... noticed it was a micro atx ... here is the most up-to-date link: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/Vf8nyc

A build like this would be much better for you. It has a better graphics card, processor and power supply (The CX series aren't good) .

Dnlchong · Aug 1, 2014

So the best gpu for me is the 770?

Ytyoussef · Aug 1, 2014

For your budget, yes.

Derza10 · Aug 1, 2014

Yes either the GTX 770 or r9 280x... I prefer nvidia but either one would work.

Derza10 · Aug 1, 2014

Either(mine or Ytyoussef's) build would be good, mine has a better CPU (200Mhz faster) but also costs $15 more... Other than that they are pretty much the same, can't really go wrong with either one.

Ytyoussef · Aug 1, 2014

The better CPU won't make any difference in gaming, while the gpu would. He would get better gaming performance with the build I posted above. Oh and you shouldn't get the corsair power supply, it is not a good power supply, the XFX is much better.

Derza10 · Aug 1, 2014

Ytyoussef :

How would he get better performance exactly? my build has the same GPU in it... Changed the PSU out awhile back... the only difference in our builds is you picked a different CPU/motherboard and HDD.

Ytyoussef · Aug 1, 2014

My bad, used the wrong link. Your build is very good.

Would this $920 gaming computer rig be good?
