Best $800 Gaming PC Build (Including Tax)

Avocado_1 · Aug 1, 2016

I have around $800 dollars and I want to build a computer. I would like to have a GTX 1000 series GPU in it, and sales tax needs to be included in the $800. Also if its possible I would like Windows in the cost, but I don't need it if it makes a big hardware downgrade. All replies are appreciated

EDIT: OS isn't needed anymore I remembered I have an old laptop that was upgraded to windows 10 and I can just transfer windows 10 from that, and if that doesn't work I'll just stick with Linux or SteamOS until I can buy Windows 10

the GPU is out of stock, but more 1060's at this price point will be back soon. FWIW I believe Windows 10 license is tied to the motherboard.

As of 8/16/16 Best money spent is building an i3 6100 OC 4.6ghz($99), z170m extreme4($89), ddr4 3200 8gb ram($39),EVGA 600w psu($39), matx case(,$39), windows 7 key($20), 2Tb HDD($29),212 Evo cpu Cooler(air) = $354 Total NewEgg

Now you need a GPU: GTX 1060 6Gb $279 newegg or GTX 1070 8gb(Sli capable) $399 NewEgg

This is a Overclocking setup,you can run absolutely any game right off the rip,you can Overclock the i3 6100(non-K) Skylake up to 4.6 on air...yes nonK cpu canoverclock still(bios)(SkyOC)....this leaves you for option to upgrade to Skylake 6600/6700 anytime in the future when you have the $$$ and you can sell your i3 for $89 on Ebay/Amazon.

You can also Overclock your GTX 1060/1070 right off the rip w/ Msi Afterburner w/ stock fans/setup...2200gHz+ easily

Last the 2x4gb sticks ddr4 3200 you can Overclock in Asrock UEFI(Easter Egg) from 2133mhz up to 3200mhz+(3.4mhz even) easily

Anybody w/ youtube and a keyboard can easily find a Video how-to on all of this and its easy enough for even the newest of owners/builders...

This gets you foot in the door w/ latest 6th gen Skylake cpu,Overclocking z170 Sli mobo,OC ddr4 ram,OC GTX GPU w/ all the option to go BIG when you can afford it...if your broke,buy it one piece at a time as you have the $ and you'll have something you built yourself that will blaze anything you throw at it and usually on Nightmare settings
