Need an advice on build a budget gaming pc

muzakkifatch · Mar 27, 2016

Hey everyone, i'm newbie. I'm going to build my very first pc, I would like to use it to play game such as Fifa 16. Currently I have about $500-550 , oh yeah I need to buy monitor, keyboard and mouse. If you ask me, are you going to buy Operating System too? Since I know that my budget is limited, so i'm okay to use a free OS like ubuntu or steam until I can save my money to buy windows. I have read tons of article about build a budget pc gaming. So I figured it out that I can't have any good hardware with only $500. So then here you will help me to choose a hardware part.

I need your help to choose component, i'm okay if I can't play my game, but at least with $500 I have a component that could be upgrade on the next time to play my game. So which component that I have to spend my money on it? I'm okay If I can't play my game right now, so i'm going to use that pc for browse the internet or watch a movies. Oh yeah i'm okay with Amd, intel for me is too expensive.

Oke guys, that's all. I need a pc that can be upgrade to gaming system until I can save more money.
Every suggestion or advice would be appreciated, thank you in advance.

Now, the i3-6100 is Skylake, so it supports DDR4 RAM, and you can upgrade to a i7-6700K! Isn't that amazing? I thought so. The R9 380 is also great for gaming at 1080p*. (*vs. GTX 960) You see, Intel is never too expensive for budget builds, and I just proved that.

Change the power supply to a Seasonic S12ii 520W, and that build is ready to rock and roll!

Actually great build. Maybe an amd chip could squeeze a few extra dollars of and still offers same performance as the i3?
