I looked all these up took me time. I have no idea if this rig will work if I put it together. It'll be a great help. I just want to get some input from pros on building a gaming pc

Plz tell me if these are reliable brands and if you think I could make it better for a gaming pc. For a cheaper price my price limit is at 600 dollars I know this list that I gave is over my price limit but just stay on 600. I just want a gaming pc that's high performance something that won't lagg while im playing a game like civilization 5 at maxed setting. If I'm missing anything from that list plz add it or if a part won't work with the other one or if I could get a lower price for a better graphics card or mother board and so on. I'll be thankful I'm just a newbie this will be my first rig so thx..

Answer 1

I'd go for 1600 mhz RAM, and get a decent brand power supply like Corsair or Antec. You don't need 800 watts. 550 would be plenty



I'd check sites like Newegg and Amazon for prices also. eBay might not be the best place to buy them all from. You can get an AMD 7850 Radeon which will edge out that 650 Ti Boost for $20 less ($40 after rebate)

Answer 2

LOL - crap CPU - JUNKY PSU - and a pathetic all around build. Hope you only plan on using this for 1 week because a crap PSU like that will only last about a week.



NEVER EVER EVER GET A CHEAP PSU - EVER !!



It is the telltale sign of a n00b, period.



Get antec, enermax, PC Power & Cooling, corsair, seasonic



A crap 800W PSU is more like 500W in real world scenarios.





DID YOU REALLY SELECT A NO NAMED HARD DRIVE ?? REALLY ?



What is it you are trying to accomplish ? To build the crappiest computer on the planet ? The only PC worst than a Compaq, Acer, or emachine ? Because you are close !

Answer 3

Yes, it is a decent build. The mobo and the cpu align. The only thing is buying from ebay, you must understand you cannot hope to RMA it if something goes bad.
