I asked other questions on here about pc builds and i feel like the price for the pc is more for the people who play pc often. i am a console player and i want to get into pc gaming but i am not really going to be playing demanding games. If there any suggestions for a casual gamer that can play games on high 1080p 60 +fps on medium demanding games. My budget is under $900 and i will be upgrading in the future so there are things i dont need at the time. Aslo i dont like amd products Nividia and intel for the build

I think I would take an i3 6100 with a GTX 1060 over an i5 with a GTX1050ti for gaming.

Also, the PSU is one of thee most important parts of a PC build however it unfortunately one of the first casualties of the budget. You want clean strong power running through your system with very low fluctuations to maximize the lifespan of your investment.

As a rule of thumb I typically get gold rated power supplies and get 100 Watts more than what my system requires.

IWARNING!!!! The following build is over budget by 38 CENTS!!!!




ntroducing for the first time in history of forever Dropment's FIRST GAMING RIG:bounce:

The case will be housing all of his parts so we need it to look good. DEEPCOOL TESSERACT SW Mid Tower Computer Case with Side Window and 2 Blue LED Fans comes in with a matte black exteririor with blue led 120mm fans. 1 on the front and one on the rear. Dropment has the option of adding additional fans in the future. Upgradeability? Yeah, it has that.

Now we need to fill our case with components worthy of Dropment. We start of with the foundation. We start small and compact. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130897 It has the sata connections for your DVD drive, OS drive and 2 more drives should you add on late.

Now we need the brains of this operation. The CPU https://www.amazon.com/Intel-I5-6400-FC-LGA14C-Processor-BX80662I56400/dp/B010T6CG7E/ref=sr_1_2?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1480987172&sr=1-2&keywords=i5+6400

After that we add some RAM modules. designed for a Skylake motherboard. https://www.amazon.com/Kingston-2133MHz-Non-ECC-Desktop-HX421C14FBK2/dp/B00TY6A1P0 starts you off with 8GB of RAM.

You do need an operating system. Windows 10's price is included.

Asus brings in an DVD RW drive

WE do need something to power this build. https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-BRONZE-Supply-Warranty-100-B1-0500-KR/dp/B00DZ6R9GE will power EVERYTHING in this build. SOme would say to spend about $20 to get a higher end PSU. This PSU meets or exceeds this system's needs.

But wait! There's more. It is a VERY power GTX 1060!!! Not the mid-range cheaper budget build 1050 but the more powerful card with more VRAM and it will get you those higher settings you want. You know. just can't do that. You're defecting from the other side. WE need to give you a taste of REAL POWER. Let's toss that high end 1060 and present you with a VERY HIGH END 1070!!! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125893&cm_re=Gigabyte_GeForce_GTX_1070_8GB_Mini_ITX_OC_Video_Card-_-14-125-893-_-Product Wait a minute. It's mini. THere has to be less than 8GB of VRAM. Nope. You get the full 8GB of VRAM. 2 full GB more than the little 1060 who is looking a little lonely at the moment. It's weaker? Ummm not really. It's an OC version.

Short and sweet

An i3 6100 will beat any AMD FX processor handily. It games great. I was very surprised at how snappy and responsive it is.

Plus you can always upgrade to a Core I7 in the future.

The GTX 1060 is designed to max out any game at 1080P. So long as you have a 1080P monitor you will have a very enjoyable experience
