Budget PC Build

N00b_of_PCs · May 4, 2015

I want to build a secondary pc that can run skyrim with mods (60 fps 1080p), CoD (60 fps (1080p), Battlefront 3/Battlefield 4 (60fps 180p), The Witcher 3 (30fps 1080p), and of course minecraft ultra. I would really appreciate if this pc can can compete with these consoles! The Budget is $450-475 including an internet adapter(can these chosen parts not have rebates and such). I already have a windows OS. Thank you for your day and God bless.

There is no cheap PC that can run that. You're looking in the 1000 range.

EDIT: I say this because of the mods in skyrim. The rest can be run with maybe a 550-600$ PC but for a modded skyrim to run at 1080p 60 fps you definately need 1000+

Have to up your budget for that ofcourse. 450-475 including adapter is not realistic for 1080p@60fps in all those games.

How can the alienware alpha i3 runs mods at 60fps then? I though it was a rather crappy pc?

It will by no means perform to those benchmarks you gave us though, especially not BF4. No rebates included in the price. I hesitate to use the 500w EVGA, but when there's no money to spend.....
