Going to build my very own gaming pc

Stevie031203 · Dec 30, 2016

Hi. As the title states im going to build my very own gaming pc. Im not an expert in this field so please have some patience with me lol.
I would like to build a pc that will run games like arma 3 dayz rust gta 5.
I would like a motherboard that i can add more parts to it or has room for upgrades. I already have mouse keyboard monitor and a power supply from a friend. Psu is an ace 500w atx A-500BR. I have 650 pounds to spend on this build but could go a little more. All comments are much appreciated.

So this is a list put together based on what you are trying to do. I gave you a Z170 for upgradability to an unlocked CPU. You can lower down to a B150, if you do not plan on overclocking, but still add more GPUs and 4 sticks of RAM. I also recommend you change out the PSU. It looks like it's meant for light computing, not anything to really push a gaming rig. I added a quality PSU for you to use. The case is just something I threw in, you can change it if you wish, as long as it's a ATX, the choice is yours. Hopefully you like:

Side tip, if you are going to purchase these parts one-by one, I would suggest starting with RAM. Those tend to change rapidly. I'm building my wife a rig, and I saved a part list it was $79, checked back last night, it jumped to $89.

Herc's part list is great. The only thing i'd change to drop the price is an h170 or h110 chipset motherboard, since the i5-6500 is a locked processor (meaning you can't overclock). z170 chipset costs more due to overclocking capabilities.

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I wont be overclocking as i have no clue of where to even start lol. I will be upgrading the pc over time like more ram and stick ssd in it. Would i need to buy fans for cooling? Or does that case come qith some installed? Thank yous again for the help

Stevie031203 :

I would recommend getting a beQuiet! or Noctua fan for the front intake. It looks like it does come with 1 rear far. Again, you can pick your own case, I just threw something in there.

Does the case not need to be suitable with the components you are puttin inside it? Or was that a stupid question?

Herc08 · Dec 30, 2016

Stevie031203 :

Um, it does need to be suitable, so I'm not understand the question. Base off the list, you want a standard ATX case.
