Building my $1500 gaming PC

MichaelAnthonyKelly06 · Feb 21, 2016

Did some research and came to this build, was wondering if its quality for the price I am paying. Also was wondering about good but decently priced wireless cards and sound cards (do I need a sound card?) and if there is anything I am missing? Thanks for any help, and advice.

that build is just fine and also sound cards are used for audio/music makers...yeah it may improve quality a little(2%)bit but it wont affect anything really...also are you going to connect to the internet with ethernet or wifi?

This is cheaper, but performs about the same.

BoomBoxified :

Does Ethernet or WiFi affect my connection much? We only have maybe 5 devices on the WiFi, 2 of them phones and my computer would be around 10ft from the modem. If cable will get me a more stable connection then I'll go with that, otherwise wireless is less cables lol

Looks good, when you say about the same which performs better? Or is it basically the same?
