Good gaming PC?

TVGD · Aug 27, 2014

Hi everyone! I'm a game developer, and I really need a new PC. Even though it needs to run games as perfect as possible, it is also important that I can run other programs in the background, without lag (much RAM needed?) Though the problem is that I really don't know much about components. Soo... any help here? I already have monitors, keyboard mouse and OS, but everything else is needed. The budget is something around 1000 - 1200€ (= about $1500?) Oh, and case is needed too.

this is a bit over his Budget maybe go for the Intel I5 4690k
MSI Radeon R9 270x and drop the SSD ? 1200 Euro is about £950

Hello, if you are really going into the developer's zone I think you should grab a Nvidia Quadro Graphics Card instead of those cards aimed at gamer's. I wish you the best in developing games.

That is true although a Quadro is meant for a workplace.
