First time builder and I dont know anything

flatkylebottchen · May 20, 2017

Hey everyone, Ive been a console gamer my whole life and want to make a gaming PC. I want to achieve at least 1080p 60fps. Ill be playing games like PUBG, H1Z1, GTA5. My budget is around $750-$850. Ill be trading in my macbook pro to best buy to get around $450 plus a $200 bonus gift card. Whatever i can get there i will get. Thanks!

850 for just parts or 850 for the whole setup?

chalky16 · May 20, 2017

Here's a build for $850 (with windows) without monitor or peripherals.

For just parts. Btw!

flatkylebottchen :

Is there any sort of theme you want? Also are you only buying parts from best buy?

chalky16 :

not only from bestbuy. What I can get componet wise there I'll get but I'll get peripherals there if I can't get parts.

I'd like to go down the RBG road if possible.

pretty much the same build, but if you want to change around the colors it shouldn't be too hard

Nice build. I just want to provide a Ryzen based system here if the OP wants to do any streaming, photo editing or video editing too (which ryzen is far better for)

keep in mind this build will be better for programs requiring many cores, video editing in particular, however it will be slightly worse in some games (between 10 and 20% worse in some games)
To be clear I don't dislike the intel build, this is just another option

Hope this helps!

if u arent gonna buy the parts immediately, i would suggest u wait for AMD vega and get a 250 buck GPU. or buy the gpu alone later.
