I want to build a gaming pc for under 500.?

spc.field

Anyhow I don't know too much about pcs. I have came up with this build. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1GSZ5 I was wondering if this is any good . Any changes or sugestions please.

Answer
That's not much of a Gaming PC, ASRock isn't a very good gaming motherboard. You would need at least 8gb of Ram for a gaming PC.

You would also want to go with Intel over AMD. I'd go with an ASUS motherboard (either Rampage or Sabertooth) you can't be cheap with a gaming PC.

You can not build a Gaming PC for under $500. At least not a good one.

If you MUST go with AMD, you'd want to go with this:

Processor: AMD FX6300 6 core 3.5ghz ($119)
CPU Cooler: Corsair H100 ($80)
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-78LMT-USB3 ($65)
GPU: HIS Radeon HD7870 2GB ($210)
PSU: Corsair CX500 v2.3 600W 80 plus ($70)
RAM: CORSAIR XMS 8GB 240-Pin ($70)
HDD: Western Digital WD AV-GP ($90)
ODrive: Pioneer BDR-208DBK ($58)
case: CoolerMaster Elite 431 plus ($60)

Gaming PC under $500?

Mason

I have wanted a gaming PC for a while now, but being 13 i cant get a job. I managed to save up $500 and want a good Gaming PC. I prefer Intel i3 and up( my dad doesnt like AMD i dont know the difference) Thanks
It doesnt have to built when i buy it i will put it together if not done already

Answer
You need to raise your budget.

You can get the hardware alone for $500, but a copy of Windows costs $100 by itself. So your total cost would be closer to $600.

Here's a list of builds, each color is a different performance level. Green ($527) is the one you want. I suggest going with a cheaper case (NZXT Gamma) which saves you enough money to upgrade to the Core i3 2120.

http://www.hardware-revolution.com/best-budget-gaming-pc-february-2012/

A Dual-Core Sandy Bridge Pentium G860 beats a cheap AMD processor for gaming, although I recommend getting an i3 if possible.

Your other option in this price range is buying a used gaming computer- if someone is selling a rig that cost them $650-$800 a couple years ago, you might find a deal for around $500.

**** Update ****
The built-in APU in AMD's A6/A8 processors does have much better gaming performance than Intel's integrated graphics, but it's still inferior to even a $60 graphics card.

Where is the best place to get a custom gaming PC from?

Liam

I am looking for the best gaming PC between £500-700 and i would like to know where is a good place to get a good deal. I have looked at a website called Vibox but i am wondering if there are any other websites that offer a wider range of items.

Thanks!

Answer
If you want the best computer for that price, you will have to build your own.
I recommend using newegg.com, which is what I used to build mine.

If you do your research, and get a friend who is good with computers, you can get a much better deal if you build your own instead of ordering a pre-build computer.
Especially if you want to game on it. Pre-built computers have horrible graphics cards.

How hard is it to build a gaming pc?

best gaming pc 500 image

Q. I want to build my own gaming computer, I plan on saving up around $1,000-$1,500 for it. I have a good knowledge of computers, but I'm not a wiz with them, even though I love them and want to know more about how they work. How hard would it be for me to build a gaming pc from the ground-up with almost no hardware experience?

Answer
I'm 13 and I did it.

You don't need to know too much about hardware to build one, just go on Tomshardware.com forums and on New Build, ask them to choose the parts for you.

If you want to learn about hardware, then I still recommend going on that site. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/288241-31-read-posting-buyer-guides-troubleshooting

The hard part is choosing the parts and learning about what does what. The building part itself isn't that hard, so long as you have time and have a guide on the internet.

Thanks for reply!
OK How about A gaming PC UNDER 900$ this is my maximum money!

Answer
You're not going to find a good gaming PC for under $500. You should either save your money, or build your own desktop, which is cheaper. However, finding the compatible parts will be difficult.
