800$ Gaming PC

18tyweslow · Sep 16, 2014

Hey there everyone!

I'm planning on building a gaming pc.

I have:
The OS: -100$
A mouse: -50$~

I wanna be able to play most modern games with med-high settings. I'm not a super serious gamer. I just like to be able to play games without stuttering.

Again, my budget is 800$.

Thanks for any help!

Its done for you... if you're not going to OC. The parametric filters give you the lowest price component as of the date you click the link that fit given criteria. SOme folks may say "CX is not a great quality PSU, you should pay $10 more for a seasonic" or some such...if you have those kinda questions, post again.

Esco - if he's not going to OC, is he better off with the 4460 I posted? Understand some might say an SSD is not really gonna help the gaming experience... Agree the "k" provides for a bit of an upgrade down the line (OP can buy a nice air cooler in a year, and OC to keep pace).

Enthusiast Builder :

he could do that but there's few problems with your build such as 1x8GB ram you want 2x4Gb to have benefits of dual channel and also the power supply although its fine but Rm series is made by seagate and XC is not you always want top notch power supply and that Rm one happens to be on sale currently otherwise id go with EVGA g2 series made by super flower.

esco_sid :

The Corsair RM series is made by CWT and is of mediocre quality. It's definitely not top notch.

Seagate does not make power supplies, by the way. I guess you meant Seasonic.

Do you want to overclock?
Do you have a monitor?
Do you have a keyboard?
Do you have or want speakers/headphones?

I do not have a monitor.
I do have a keyboard and a headset.
