Hello there, i am currently in the process of building a gaming computer and i have about 750$ to spend. Right now i play a lot of league but in the future im probably gonna play games like evolve and pretty heavy stuff like that. I know 750 is that much to go off of for demanding games like that but bare with me. Im also going to be editing, recording, and sometimes streaming games. I know it would be hard to make a build at 750 capable of that but im going to be upgrading as time goes on, so that doesnt need to be a deal breaking at the moment. in the build please include os and monitor( if you do leave a response)

I have another fifty that i am going to be using to buy a keyboard and mouse so that doesnt need to be included

Any help would be appreciated!

You need to be more clear on where you want to go for future upgrades. The main parts you need to focus on are PSU, MOBO, and Case. As long as you get a MOBO with a socket that isn't dead or dying out quickly you'll be able to upgrade the CPU later. Case is for you needing the room in order to upgrade and the PSU is for being able to supply power immediately when you upgrade. Having too much wattage does not hurt as long as you plan to utilize it later on. MOD Edit: We do not suggest or condone pirated software on the Tom's Hardware site.

my build is good but it sounds like you would need a bigger case and definitely a better graphics card at minimum a 1gb of gddr5 i also have yet to get ram check the compatibility for the board this board is picky i had some cheap ram that worked but it finally died

well i dont mind what brand as far as amd or intel for the cpu but i know that intel has a better route as far as upgrading. im going to need a crossfirex mobo because im gonna do a lot of recording/editing. I just dont really know that much about parts other than gpu and cpu. So i dont know what brands are too reliable as far as mobo and psu. Thats why i was asking for help

First find a retailer like newegg.com to purchase everything at once so you can make sure all works so you have time to rma if something doesn't work. I recommend going with an ASUS Z97 motherboard wich means an intel cpu. haswell 1st gen works on these so if u find a deal get it. ram is ridiculous since couple years ago crucial, corsair. cpu coolers are important Corsair water coolers, coolermaster 212 evo, swiftech xh220. Drives ssd 250 gb Samsung evo are best price/performance. Powersupply platinum would be ideal a corsair or seasonic. Graphics goog place to start is gtx 760 by asus or r9 270 by asus are median cards grreat price/performance. also decide what form factor you want, nowdays small for factor builds are accessible MATX motherboards for that. For case/chassis corsair again, xigmatec "aqulla", nzxt. Hope this gives you good brand ideas. Cheers! Patientce and research go a long way when investing in a pc.
