Would I be able to build a good gaming PC for maybe around 800 dollars?

best gaming pc for 800 dollars image

Sam Keller

I need a better PC. I want to be able to play Arma 2, Farcry 3, Borderlands 2, Etc. Not including the monitor because I know what one I want already, could someone give me some helpful tips?

Answer
Yes you definitely could all you must remember to read the item specs i find alot of items out there for example i found a mother board costing me 250 pounds then found another one for 150founds with better specs.

Make sure though when looking you give your self plentyof room to upgrade you dont want to get a pc that a thew years down the line you want to upgrade and cant.

For a gaming pc all i have is 8gb of ddr3 ram a 1tb hardrive, nvidia hdmi graphics card a blue ray player and a 600w silent psu all costing me a grand total of 600 pounds :D and i find this plays prety much any game i throw at it.

Also a sound bit of advice is to turn the graphics down on windows 7 and windows vista if you use them it makes the games smoother.

Could someone point me in the right direction for building a gaming PC?

I've been wanting to get into PC gaming for a long time now. I've been secretly dying to get into it and all the variety of small and big games the PC has to offer.

The only problem is as far as building (Or even PC's themselves) I know NOTHING. I don't know where to start at all and on top of that I'm on a budget (I would like to keep around 600 - 800 dollars) and even at that it will take me at least 6 months to a year to get all the parts.

So could someone point me in the right direction? What's the best parts for that budget?

and with that money what kind of games could I run? Give examples. I've been thinking about Assassins Creed III.

It seems to be a great deal on a great PC, especially for a first time build. Just remember to get an anti-static mat as well as a ground wristband to avoid frying anything before you can use it.

If you need a cheaper build I have another I built up for about $550.

I have been doing this my whole life, and although I am only 18, I have built many computers and have several people who only call me to fix their computers. So feel free to ask me anything.

As far as building one you could watch these detailed videos, they go through everything:
