Custom Gaming Computer

Hey Youngster,

If you're a teen then congrats  
Anyways, to the advice.
Reading really does help with getting to know the components, or even watching videos online just to learn how everything looks like and how it installs.
To give you solid advice I need to see what kind of price range you're thinking of so I can give you good advice on components to fit your budget.

Hi thanks for the response.

I guess I'd be willing to spend in region of about 1500 - 2000 euro on the components. Hopefully save up and buy things bit by bit.

I'm kinda coming up with my budget based on friends computers. They have had them custom built over the internet and seem to be in the 1500 - 2000 bracket.

Being that I was in your shoes a few years ago, I know how excited you are about all of this, and once you start learning and actually do it, you will be hooked.

A really good place to start is reading up on the components like you are doing. Also, Newegg usually has some really good videos on their product pages, so if you see a component that you want to know a bit more about, look it up on Newegg (or YouTube).

Also, when you are looking at what parts to choose you always have to factor in budget. Once you have a budget set, a very nice site for planning a new build is www.pcpartpicker.com. That will give you tons of options to chose from for each of the components that go into a computer, and the lowest prices it can find online.

Wow, that's a nice budget, I finished getting all of my things and its less than 1500$.
Not including monitor and stuff.
Anyway that gives us a lot of room to work with.
I suggest Intel for gaming so you should good Intel processor:

Its one of the best and its a 3rd generation processor so its top-notch.
As far as video card i suggest an nvidia GeForce 670 because its in the middle of 660 and 680.

Should come up to less than 1500 Euros

 

Also, if you want a good build that falls in under your budget, check out the most recent Tom's Hardware System Builder Marathon (in the articles section) because they have a $2000 USD build that will fall into your range.

Thanks very much for all that information! That's exactly the response I was looking for. Very helpful and informative! and it saves me money
