Need advice on a Gaming PC?

SuperGamerDude · Aug 28, 2014

I just created a build on PC Part Picker, and I am unsure about if it is good enough to play modern games. It is around 670 dollars total as I am on a budget. Here is the build:

Any suggestions on what I should keep, and what I should trash and replace?

Thanks!

Ok, your videocard is really bad and you spend too much on the case and other things on your budget. Your harddrive is also very small and will fill up quickly. Tell me your total budget, what parts you already have (OS, mouse, keyboard, monitor, etc), and whether or not you want to to count rebates into the build cost.

Edit: so that I can give you a better build.

Hey, I might have a different solution from you.

Teemi :

Alright, thanks Teemie and N00b Builder! I already have the OS, I can get it from a friend for free, and I have a mouse keyboard and monitor. My total budget would be in the 500-700 range, and all I really need is the PC itself, don't need any peripherals.

Sorry, but that build is pretty bad. An over priced PSU and GPU call for big trouble. This build is boat loads better.

Ok give me a few minutes to make a build. Do you want to count rebates as part of the budget or no?

Teemi :

Yes.

I really think that you should get an hdd first and save for an ssd later. 120 gbs of space gets filled up very quickly with just a game or two.

Edit: Also, getting an ssd just saves you several seconds on loading time. It doesn't affect game performance. My build also has a stronger gpu compared to noob's build so you should get significantly better performance.

I was only trying to help the OP. I'm sorry that you took offense.
