Hi Gamers and Friends,

I have finally ordered my Budget Gaming PC.

Please have a look and let me know your thought. Most budget gaming PC.

PSU: Deepcool DA500 80+ Bronze Certified 500 Watts PSU (Budget bronze certified PSU)

RAM: Kingston FURY Memory - 8GB Module - DDR3 (Budget RAM works great, no customer complains so far)

HDD: WD Blue 1 TB Desktop Hard Drive ( Cheap and Best, WD black is namesake fast, both have 7200RPM)

CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 (No difference between i5-4590 and 4460)

VGA: BenQ RL2455HM 24 inch LED (Best gaming monitor 1ms GTG)

CASE: Corsair Carbide Series 200R ATX Case (Can't get better than this, Award wining case)

MOBO: Gigabyte GA-H97-D3H (Gigabyte one of the best and less expensive, ultra durable Motherboards)

GPU: Asus STrix-GTX960-DC20C-2GD5 (Factory overclocked, memory overlocked best GTX 960 aftermarket product)


Thanks and Cheers! Happy Gaming!

Why choose GTX 960 over R9 280X?
Nvidia drivers and better and products are more reliable, runs cool and quiet. R9 280x does wins by chunk of FPS but for a extra price.

EVGA is the best Nvidia Card manufacturer.
Yes I understand, but not available in all the country. ASUS, Gigabyte and MSI are equally good.

Where is the SSD?
Coming Soon!

FPS: 1080p, 40 - 60 FPS very high to ULTRA settings, All Recent AAA titles.

I agree with the others.

AMD would be the way to go in this budget of yours.
Also, for RAM the G.Skill Ripjaws X is usually much more budget friendly choice.
That Deepcool psu is probably not so great. Though one Deepcool psu is tier 3, the others are unknown. They might as well be Tier 4 or 5.
Which means it's not so safe to use in a build like this.

Here in the states you can get a 280X for about the same price, and it's roughly 15% faster, PLUS 50% more VRAM, which is actually the bigger deal at 1080p or more.

As for better drivers and reliability from Nvidia, says who? I've had my 7970 (basically a 280X) for well over 2 and a half years now gaming hard on it and no problems with card or drivers.

You have to ask yourself, are you here to take advice, or give it based on speculation?

I have no idea where you're from or what your pricing is like though. Cheers could mean UK, Aus, or a Brit or Aussie living in the US or Can for all we know.

PSU: I would only use good quality and efficient psu. Seasonic and Super Flower are the leader in this and very proven and trustfull. At least, it should be 80+ Gold rated too.

SSD is missing for operating system installation. You should have brought it first. Otherwise you need to install Windows again.

Other than this, for this budget and gaming its quiet a good build.
