Could someone help me build my computer? I just need help with finding parts and cases that are compatible with each other.

szenerij · Dec 23, 2017

Hey all. So recently my previous computer crashed and I've been meaning to rebuild it. If anyone could spend the time of day and let me know what I can choose and buy to get me a decent gaming computer and if I could salvage any parts from my previous computer, that would be much appreciated. I'm looking to run 100-120 fps for games like PUBG, CSGO, Warframe, etc. on medium or low settings. Would anyone be able to help me? Thanks!
Current parts: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/nV8jGf
I can also give a list of the older computers parts if requested

First of all, why on earth do you need to hit 100+ FPS for games when your eyes can only see 60fps Max? Secondly, what’s your budget if any?

jgustin7b :

Because you can see higher than that. The average person has a reaction time of 10ms, which is 100hz. People can see well into the hundreds.

Anyway, OP, what's your budget?

jgustin7b · Dec 23, 2017

Ah, realized my monitor only has 60hz. And people can see faster. Apologies, but yes, the budget and any ideas would be helpful.

List all the working parts in your current system and give us a budget.

I want 100-120 fps so as to make up for any possible fps drop I may suffer. A specific instance in CSGO in particular. Whenever I look at or in the general direction of a smoke grenade, my fps drops considerably.

Sorry, this is my first time ever using this site so please excuse the broken up messages. My budget is $800-$1,000 but the more money I can save, the happier I will be. Thanks for the quick replies guys!

jgustin7b · Dec 25, 2017

Well at least there’s a reasonable budget to work within...I’ll get back to it later...

WildCard999 · Dec 25, 2017

Using the parts you already have and that budget can get you quite a nice system.

I left out items you already have...I included a case with an odd slot and an actual odd which can be of use sometimes, but you can swap it for, say, a fan controller or a hot-swappable hdd bay if you want...oh, and you’ll need to request an am4 bracket from cryorig.

I have to vouch for WildCard999's build as you can't go wrong with the CPU. I have an i5-8600K myself and she's a beauty.
As for the other components, seems like a solid unit.

Cheers,

Unless the submitter is a heavy multitasker (15% better workstation score in userbenchmark), I couldn’t agree more with wildcard’s setup...
