Is it possible to build a gaming pc for under a grand? This computer will be used from graphic design/multimedia (flash video creation, photoshop, etc.) It will also be playing games such as WoW, Portal 2, and maybe even Crysis 2. Any recommendation on how this could be done would be greatly appreciated. If you believe the system I'm looking for will cost over 1,000 please explain why. And thank you!


Answer
Yes, It is, IF you choose the right spec and build it your self. And If by "under a grand" you mean under 1000 $, here's my recommendation :

AMD Phenom II X4 955 3,2 ghz
MoBo Biostar TA890GXB
HDD 1TB WD
RAM DDR3 2x2 GB
XFX HD6850 GPU
PSU CORSAIR pure 600W

In total, it's about 8.2 million rupiahs....roughly US$950, includes the chassis, DVD Drive, logitech Mouse+Keyboard & logitech Speaker. US$1070 with windows 7 home premium. (Excluding the Monitor)

Yeah maybe that price is a bit...high, but you'll be able to play heavy games like crysis 2 on full HD and high settings without lags or something like that.

Also, these I got these price from a local store here in Indonesia. You might be able to find cheaper ones online, or where you live.

What is a good way to build a gaming PC that is an economical computer that can run games like BF3 at standard graphics like Xbox. I don't want to waste money on a 1,000 dollar computer, I just want a computer that can run games well, not the heretic way of every game must be ultra settings, but in a comfortable way like the Xbox, sometimes there a lags, but mostly it can run games at a normal standard at a fair price.


Answer
GPU (Video Card) - EVGA SuperClocked 02G-P4-2662-KR GeForce GTX 660 2GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card: 229$

CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz (3.4GHz Turbo Boost). 204$

Motherboard - MSI P67A-GD80 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - 99$

RAM - Corsair 4GB - 18$

HDD - Seagate Barracuda ES ST3500630NS 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare - 39$

Optical Drive - Sony 24X DVD burner. - 18$

Case: Rosewill REDBONE Black SECC Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - 39$

Accessories - A decent 1080P monitor. Headphones/Speakers. Keyboard and a mouse.

It'll cost you an average of 650$ without the accessories. You'll be spending at least 750-800$.

With the above rig I've mentioned, you can pretty much max out any game currently available.
If you don't want to pay 800$ then, for the CPU, you can get the AMD Phenom II X4 970, for the GPU, you can get the GTX 560. If you're getting an AMD CPU then get the ASUS M5A88M motherboard. The Phenom II X4 970 is a beast at gaming and so is the GTX 560. You'll be spending about 199$ less if you go with this setup.

Good luck, mate. :)
