Hello,
I am trying to get some help with an ultimate (budget) gaming PC build. I am trying to stay within the $700 price range and the main sort of games I like to play are multiplayer shooter games. Ideally, I'd like to be able to stream my gameplay while gaming without any huge performance gouges.
My current proposed set-up:
CURRENT BUILD IDEA
The components I'd like to continue using are as follows:
GRAPHICS CARD
POWER SUPPLY
- I already have Hard drives and optical drives. I only need motherboard, CPU, RAM and case.
- I've heard the IvyBridges are the way to go, and the reason I got the 3770k is to do some light overclocking, however I'm not completely comfortable with overclocking nor totally eager about it, so it's not necessary to keep it there.
- Also, I've also been hearing that 2133 memory is overkill, but I wasn't sure how much overkill it is.
- I want to keep the system open for expansion later, so if there is a reason to upgrade to 32Gb ram in the future, I want to use 8gb sticks, if that's overkill and no one needs more than 16Gb, then I can use smaller sticks.
I would ideally like this rig to last for years, I know technology changes all the time, as well as gaming demand, just trying to build another machine to last. Have fun with it, and I appreciate all the help in advance!
