Gaming pc diy kit help?

MR TROLL M

I really want a gaming pc, and after a few months i finally have enough to buy a kit to build a pc. But i have a few questions. This is the link to the kit i want to buy

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1243056

Now i was wondering, does this kit have everything i need to actually use the pc when it is built, or do i need to buy additonal stuff to get it up and running? Also, does the kit come with instructions to build the pc? (This is my first time building a pc)

P.S: keep in mind i'm a 14 year old who isn't old enough to get a job so my income comes from mowing lawns, washing cars, babysitting etc. so if i do need to buy additional things try to keep it within a reasonable price.
Thanks in advance!

Answer
heey nice seeing people your age building pc's! On you-tube are lots of tutorials to build a pc, building a pc is for almost all systems the same. The kit will rune some games in very low graphics because you do not have a graphics card in it, you will be able to use your pc but not running graphic intensive or even medium games, go on the site and buy a GPU (graphics card) I recommend a AMD card, AMD is the brand and the models are named Radeon. you don't have to spend a lot on the graphics card but the more you spend on it the better the games will look and be playable. hope I have helped you a bit!

-G.SKILL 4GB(2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory
-Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 Conroe 1.86GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 Processor (overclocked)
-LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA DVD Burner with LightScribe
-RAIDMAX Smilodon Extreme Black ATX-612WEB SECC STEEL ATX Mid Tower Computer CaseNo Power Supply
-Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 (Perpendicular Recording) ST3750640AS 750GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
-Thermaltake W0106RU Complies with ATX 12V 2.2 & EPS 12V version 700W Power Supply 100 - 240 V CE, CB, TUV, FCC, UL, CUL, and BSMI certified
Thanks in advance. Also, will they all be compatible?

Answer
Everything sounds good, however for gaming I would recommend the following:

MoBo and CPU: AMD CPU and a AMD MoBo with SLI capability from MSI, Gigabyte, or ASUS.
Graphics Card: 8800GT SC'd, KO, or SSC versions (cheaper and run better than the GTS, who knows why.)

Everything else looks fine with the parts I've recommended and your parts. AMD processors are much better at gaming than Intel, and you can get a good Dual-core AMD 2.1Ghz CPU for about $70 bucks on Newegg.com.

I can't afford another Video Card at this time, but thank you!
Oh, an i will most def. gat a bigger power supply!!
Thx again Luke

Deja-Vu, what do you mean by The card needs 500+ and adding the processor?
Quad-Core or Dual-Core?? Which one??

Answer
I'd recommend visiting the Ars Technica system guide for some ideas on components for your build. You should find it useful. http://arstechnica.com/guides/buyer/guide-200803.ars

Just some other thoughts; since this is a gaming PC, your better off sticking with the cheaper dual core processor and getting yourself a better graphics card (8800GT or better), or dual cards. Mostly because most programmes (including games) out there today have barely started using dual cores, much less four, so you wont actually see any kind of improvement in terms of gaming performance. You will, however, if you put that money into a better graphics card (and really, you can't go wrong with a shiny new 8800GT!).

Another thing, June should see the release of ATi's next-gen card, which is looking to be quite a monster, and shortly after Nvidias next card should also be released (ahh, competition!), which is looking to be a monster as well. Either way, you may be better off waiting a month and getting one of those two (tentatively, the Radeon 4800 series and the geForece 9900).

Power supply is quite important, it's important to get yourself something thats good quality. I'm quite partial to the Corsair VX550W, which is a very high quality PSU for its price, along with Corsairs excellent customer service. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139004

Have fun with your build, and good luck!

Gaming Pc Help!!!!!!!!!?

Max

Hi im going to build a gaming pc that will be able to play all of the latest games on max. He is what I have so far:

Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard
Arctic Power 700W PSU - 4x SATA 1x PCI-Express
Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz Socket 1155 6MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
Sony Optiarc AD-7260B 24x DVD±RW & DL SATA Optical Drive - OEM Black
Seagate 1TB 3.5" Sata-III 6GB/s Barracuda Green Hard Drive - 5900RPM 32MB Cache
D-Link Gigabit PCI Card
G Skill 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333mhz Ripjaws Memory Kit CL9 (9-9-9-24) 1.5V
Sweex All-in-1 Internal Card Reader. OEM
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 1536MB DDR5 PCIe

is this all compatible? if not what would be?

all I need now is a computer case which one would you recommend? (i dont need the greatest one in the world just one that will do the job!)

thanks
oh yes almost forgot, Creative Sound Blaster Audigy SE 7.1 OEM PCI Soundcard thanks. any ideas on computer case?

Answer
For gaming that build is one of the best you can get, there are a few things I will point out though:

1. I don't really recognize Artic power supplies so I will only recommend what I know: the Corsair TX650 would be a great choice, so would any other 600W+ power supply from good brands like Antec or Seasonic. If you are planning in later adding a second GTX 580 you should get something like a Corsair TX850 instead to provide enough power;

2. Make sure the memory modules you've chosen are designed for your motherboard (check within the motherboard supported and recommended RAM as well in the actual RAM specs). Also, higher speed and lower timings is always welcome;

3. As for a case, if money isn't an issue the Antec Twelve Hundred, Cooler Master HAF-X, Corsair 600T, Corsair 800D, Silverstone RV03 and Silverstone FT02 are all excellent choices. However, if your budget is tighter you can choose a quality mid tower like the Antec Nine Hundred Two, Cooler Master 690 II Advanced, Thermaltake Element G, Lian-Li K58/W and Lian-Li PC-K62, which are all very good options;

4. Don't care about the people that tell you to get an Extreme Edition i7 processor, that's just useless, stupidly expensive and will actually perform worse in gaming than the i5 2500K because it's an older and outperformed technology;

I think this is all I had to mention about your build, hope it helped.

Cheers,
Vatanan.

A question about this yaoi game (PC)..?

It's called Silver Chaos :)
I just downloaded it and the game had ended after I selected a few options and killed Hector... I think I selected the wrong ones. >.>'
Well, I would like to know what the RIGHT options are. I think I selected the wrong one in the beginning. Was I supposed to leave with that creepy thing like in this video:

I need as much information as possible so i know everything before i buy the parts and start building it. Also i wanna know how to know to actually put it together and get it up and running.

First, choose the place you are gonna get your parts from. Then you could probably start with the case, or the motherboard, whichever is of higher priority to you. then just get the parts to fit that. google will get you many different tutorials to put it together. you'll want to get building kits too.

What best and affordable components should I get when building a PC?

best gaming pc kits image

Ulises

Im researching on the components that are good when I build my PC. Not an expensive custom gaming PC that totals around $1500. I want a PC good enough to run a games on medium perspective. Give me examples on the:
Memory, OS, CPU cooler, Power Supply, Graphics Card, CPU, Hard Drive, and motherboard.
I hope I waste around $700-$900. I already have a case good enough for the components.

Answer
Get this FX-6100/970/8GB/2TB/700watt PSU SuperCombo DIY kit - $557
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.789267

And add this MSI N560GTX-Ti 448 Twin Frozr III - $270 after mail-in rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127615

The above is a GTX570 minus one shader cluster, but can easily attain its original speeds...


That's $830 for a super gaming computer...

Wanna go cheaper, add either this HD6870 2GB - $180
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150563

Or the HD6870 1GB - $145
