Budget Gaming PC

TinyFrog · Aug 20, 2014

Hey guys! I'm new here and need help with a part list for a budget gaming pc. I already have a working keyboard, mouse, monitor, and a working SSD from my previous broken down PC. I typically use the pc for gaming and web-browsing and my budget is around 600-700. Thank you for your help.

Take a look at these BestConfigs threads for budget AMD and Intel builds that will give you an idea of the kind of parts you should look at. There are also builds in both threads within the $600 range that you can work off of.

Thank you for your reply zeyuanfu. I would like to hear some more comments and suggestions since I'm a total noob and have no idea what's good and what's not.

What would you like to know?

TinyFrog · Aug 21, 2014

I want to know the performance level with this PC. Would I have trouble running games in high settings? As for the processor, would it be a waste if I took an i5 with these parts?

TinyFrog :

1, What games will you be playing?
2, Getting an i5 with this build would be excellent, but it won't be a BUDGET build anymore

TinyFrog · Aug 21, 2014

If I go with the i5, are there other parts that that I would need to switch out ?

TinyFrog :

Nope.
