800$ Gaming budget

[Chrispurvis32]

I have no experience in building computers,and i've speant the last month searching all over for a gaming rig that fits my budget and gets me what I need for the money, but I just can't find one. I'm kind of nervous about purchasing a computer online, Everyone recommends Newegg, but after reading all of the bad customer reviews on many of the gaming pcs that have atleast half of the specs im looking for, it just makes me look away from it.
I'm looking for a nice gaming computer with atleast a Radeon 6850 graphics card, 8gb ram, maybe 16 depending on the price, and just about decent everything, Most of the companies I was looking at, judging by customer reviews, didn't have too great of customer service either.

So all said, I would like a dependable company,atleast an i5 processor with 6850 graphics card, decent ram, decent Psu,motherboard etc for my budget of 800$ if thats possible

If you don't want to build it yourself, you should customize it at cyberpowerpc.com or ibuypower.com. I'll get back to you tomorrow with a build. A 2500K/6850 should be doable, and it'll leave you with tons of room to upgrade.

Even if you can find one at cyperpower/ibuypower, you'll still be better off building it on your own if you are willing - this is where newegg shines (buying individual parts). It's worth the experience if you are willing to put a little bit of time into it. Saves money and you get to say that YOU built it the way YOU wanted it. It's not as hard as you would think!

You can check out my guide here for parts, the $850 build should work for you. You can always save a bit if you want by downgrading from the 560 Ti to a 6870. I wouldn't suggest going to CyberPower or iBuyPower, both are not bad but still they aren't worth the amount they actually charge for each of the parts.

this build is pretty solid for just $600
however i would upgrade some parts like the case and the power supply.

I recommend the Rosewill Challenger Case and an 80plus certified PSU. I use the corsair CX600 V2.

Remember that building your computer is much better because u can get a better PC with less money.
In my case I also checked the similar performing PC's at a lot of websites and now I know I saved between $300- $450
