PC Gaming Build

TheCinemaXBL · Aug 16, 2016

Hey everyone,
I'm looking to buy a gaming pc and have created this one on cyberpower pc:

http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1J4PLN

What do u think of the build? My max budget is 1000$ including shipping. I will be using this PC for mostly gaming and maybe some video editing if i get back into youtube. I will be playing, as of right now, games like GTA V and COD.

Thanks for your help!

I don't want to sound like you have to build a PC. But for a 1k you could get way better specs http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ybnJf8

OP, you came to teh wrong forum if you want a pat on the back for wasting your money on that sort of thing instead of building your own, like the big boys

Man, it really is junk, the PSU is probably junk as well.
WiiUMasterGman's build is good, except you can't use a 380Watt PSU for a 300Watt build.
I edited it a little:

You can also go without the peripherals and get a 6600k with a Z motherboard.

Even though PSU is junk but for that price I am surprised it is that low

Do you plan on overclocking>? If no then a 6500 could do

Not at the expense of the GPU. It's not liek you actually need to overclock a skylake i5 of the 6500+ variety to feed even a Titan X Pascal..

should i get a bigger ssd

dexxterlab97 · Aug 16, 2016

Not all games will benefit from SSD. SSD will make Windows and game boot faster. A higher SSD will mean higher cost if you are willing to spend more

Hlsgsz · Aug 16, 2016

Definitely, if it fits your budget. BUt, again, not at teh expense of the GPU.
