What is a good list of specs for a gaming pc?

Walter

I want to own a gaming PC for various reasons my main driver now is pretty good but it is a everyday computer it is fairly new so it plays games at a fairly good speed because the specs are pretty good but I want a gaming PC that is dedicated to just that games the main reason is because I like to play emulators and when I try to play the Wii, play station, game cube etc. emulators it is unbearably slow with certain games and I wonder what I would need to have something that could handle them at full speed. any advice will help

Answer
everyone here is pretty clueless lol

for wii emulation you NEED a i5-3570k/4670K (or an i7-3770k/4770k but it doesnt help much over the i5), period.
there is NO other cpu which can handle wii emulation. even a 5.0ghz fx8350 can NOT handle wii emulation at full speed (i know from personal testing as i had one).

and for pc gaming, you want a decent graphics card.
so a gaming pc build which can play pc games and wii emulation id suggest:

i5-4670K (overclocked to 4.0-4.2ghz)
coolermaster 212 cooler (or better)
$150+ or so Z87 motherboard (to handle overclocking w/o any trouble from weak vrm or capacitors)
8GB ddr3-1600 memory
gtx 660/760 graphics card or an r9 270X or an amd 7870 ghz edition.
atleast a 650W quality pus like a corsair TX650 or HX650 or better.
any decent mid tower case such as corsair 300R will do fine.
1-2TB 7200rpm HDD
120GB SSD (optional, used for main boot drive and used to store your installed programs on. should be enough room for a few games which you wish to have fast load times. mmorpgs benefit greatly)


benjamins build is one of the worst ive ever seen :/
a logysis psu? shoot yourself now... it wont even power the computer at idle...

and moist is completely clueless about everything...
ssd do NOT make textures render faster... the textures are loaded into ram... and then passed to your gpu.
do you understand how SLOW SSD are? they are like 1/10 the speed of your ram, and like 1/50 of your gpus memory...
your pricing of cpus is way off, and ram memory capacity isnt in gigabits :/
you need to learn how to better use google....

Gamers! I need a list of PC Games.?

Q. Does any Gamers know any good Action/Adventure type games for the PC that I could play? And if you may can you post some Shootings and Fantasies as well? I'm trying to become a hardcore gamer :P And any games with dream stuff in it would be nice like Myst and stuff I am really into those type of games as well. Heres a list of Games I've already played for the PC to help all of you out :)

list of fun pc games...?

i used to enjoy harry potter 2 chamber of secrets for pc but ol next versions were bad..i also enjoyed rayman raving rabbid for wii ..is there same 4 pc..i need games with some storyline n nt nt same old stages

Answer
based on the games you listed I won't suggest zombie massacre games (like l4d), BUT I think you'd really really enjoy some or all of these:

highly recommended:
Lego PC games (Lego Harry Potter, Star Wars, Batman, Indiana Jones etc.) these are entire movie storylines you interact with as Lego people

any Sam & Max game, these are adventure games where you control a dog and psychotic rabbit on "police" investigation stories, they're hilarious.

Mini Ninjas, this is like playing a pixar movie as a game.

maybe recommended:
World Of Goo
Diner Dash (or Spongebob Diner Dash, Cooking Dash, Doggie Dash, Cake Mania)
Plants Vs Zombies
Zoo Tycoon 2
Spore
any The Sims game (The Sims 2, The Sims 3)

What are the best parts to building the ultimate Gaming PC?

best gaming pc list image

MrShadow

I need a list of parts and even a case to build my Ultimate Gaming PC, I only want the BEST parts available and the best combination of Gaming PC and OS. Money is NO object. Thank you

Answer
If you are looking for the absolute best, known as an enthusist board. You are going to cough up quite a chunk of change. You are looking at approximately $3600-4200 depending on how many HDD's you would want. There really is no best gaming PC out there. PC technology keeps evolving every month to something faster and smaller, along with a $$$ added to it. Here would be an example of what this month's top PC.

Motherboard-EVGA SR2 motherboard
CPU- (2) i7 965 Processors (motherboard has 2 cpu slots)
Cooling- (2) Zalmann 9900 LGA 1337 CPU coolers
RAM- 24GB of Corsair Dominator 1600mhz DDR3 RAM (motherboard has 12 slots for RAM)
Graphics Card- (2) Asus Ati 5970 ROG Radeon HD cards (4 gpu's total and 8gb RAM GDDr5)
Power-Corsair Modular 1200watt Power Supply Unit
Tower- In-Win Ironclad gaming tower
Tower Cooling- Go liquid cooled or Freon Charged
Operating System- Windows 7 Professional 64bit

That should be close enough to one of the best builds.

What should be a few necessities for a gaming pc?

fatboiii14

I am thinking of buying a gaming pc. I am willing to spend up to around 1000 dollars(or more if necessary) I want it to play games like minecraft or call of duty. I want something so I can play if no lag. Or even record... I dont know much about computers do I don't know what I should be looking for in a computer. If i could get a link to a great one to buy it would be nice. Or even a list of things to look for. Thanks!
Also where should i buy it?

Answer
Processor: Intel Core i5 2500K or AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition.

Hard Drive: 500GB or 1TB

RAM: DDR3 4GB would be sufficient but 8GB wouldn't hurt.

Graphic Card: GTX 560 Ti or the GTX 570 would do.

PSU (Power Supply Unit): 700W or 650W. (PSU is needed to power up the graphic card.)

Gaming Cabinet: Any cabinet would do, but a gaming cabinet has a pretty better built in cooling system. iBall's 'Thunder Bolt' cabinet is pretty sweet.

Mother Board: If your going to get the AMD Phenom II X4 970 Black Edition, then get the ASUS M5A88M. If going for the Intel Core i5 2500K, then get the ASUS P8H 67-MLX.

You'll need a sound card and a pair of speakers.

A UPS.

A Monitor. I recommend Dell monitors.

A mouse and a keyboard.

What's a good list of PC components for building a gaming PC?

best gaming pc list image

Waffle-ato

I want an epic gaming pc, that WON'T break the bank. I'm willing to go upwards around $1500-$2000. I want a total Kick-A$$ gaming pc. I most certainly will not do liquid cooling (i mean with resevoirs, pumps, and all that stuff) Any money you can save me will be great. I don't need a monitor, mouse, headphones, or any of that stuff. I want this focused on parts not peripherals. Links Please :))

Thanks!

Answer
Just make sure you get SSD (I would combine it with SATA so you have both speed for system/programs and storage for data). SSD could seem quite expensive, but if you buy a smaller one, really just for fast system and programs, it shouldn't be so much money. ¨
Make sure you have atleast 8 GB RAM - it's not so expensive.
Also never skimp on cooling, that's very important. It doesn't have to be liquid.

Now you can look how much money you got left, and considering that you could choose which CPU and GPU (and correct motherboard and power supply) you can afford. I wouldn't go below 2 GB memory on GPU if you are a serious gamer. CPU probably 4 cores.

I'm not going to make you a list, but these are most significant "epic gaming PC factors" for me :-)
Hope you pick well, and enjoy your gaming experience.

What specs and configuration could you suggest for gaming PC?

Nusferatu

I'm planning to configure a gaming PC and im confused about the specs of gaming PCs,could someone be kind to share tyheir knowledge about computers?
Here are some of my criteria:
-The price first and foremost,preferrably affordable and cheap not neccessarily branded.
-Hard Drive?
-Processor?
-RAM?
-Graphics card?

Answer
Ok so it's a gamer you want......
MOBO: Gigabyte EX38 chipset or newer
CPU: Intel Q9450 or higher
RAM: (here's the debate: if you use a 64bit OS get as much ram as you can. If you use a 32 bit OS your stuck with 4 GB) I used a 64 bit OS Windows 2008 Server x64 and I have 8GB of G-Skill PC2-1000 Ram, Make sure your RAM has a speed equal to or higher than the FSB speed of the CPU it will help decrease the bottlenecking problem for the data speed from the CPU to the RAM
Cooling: I prefer fans over liquid, but it is truly about choice.
Hard Drive: 3 in total 1) 80GB Western Digital SATA II (for OS only)
2) 1.5 TB Western Digital SATA II (Docs, photos,
and anything else you want to put on it.
3) 1.5 TB Western Digital SATA II ( Movies, or
virtual drives for your games)
Graphics card: I am a ATI fan and love the new HD series cards, but make sure it has a minimum of 512 MB of RAM on board and a cooling fan. I have two GPU's on my system and I run 4 monitors.

Now what I just listed if you bought it retail would run you about 3500.00 to 5500.00. Dependent on your location. I built this system last year and I spent just over 1500.00. I can now buy all of this stuff for well under 900.00. USE EBAY!!!! I have since learned how to find great deals on EBAY and love it. But if you don't have the cash don't bid. Make sure you also have a good power supply in your rig, I used an Antech Quatro True Power 850 Watt PSU. It is not cheap but it is worth it to have the power there when you need it.

If you want to build it your self have fun, it is a great and rewarding experience to build your own system, but if you don't want to build it your self, send an email to jdptechnology@yahoo.com, they will build what you want and do it cheap. I know this for fact because they just built a system for a friend and it had a diamond viper Graphics card with 512MB RAM on the card and had a n ECS MOBO with a Q6600 CPU and 4 GB's of ram and memory card reader and a DVD burner for under 400.00. It is a sweet machine.
