How to make a Gaming PC?

Aiman

I need to know what is need to make a Gaming PC.

Detail information is fully appreciated.

Answer
A Gaming PC usually defined as a PC that is capable of playing the latest 3D games without any slowdown that can affect gameplay or reaction time.

To accomplish this you will need:
- Good CPU (multi-core processor so background process does not slow down your game).
- Ample RAM (so the game can load entirely into RAM and avoid swapping to hard drive).
- Good Graphic card (one that can play games at your desired setting at 30 frame-per-sec or better).
- Good PC case (one that is silent and have good airflow to cooldown your high performance components).
- Good Monitor (low latency and high refresh rate to eliminate ghosting and slow response).
- Gaming Keyboard/Mouse (can't play without a good, responsive input device).
- Gaming Headset (if you like to chat online and immersed in the 3D environment).

The choice of components will depend on your budget. Below I include a site that can help you decide which component you may be interested in to start building a gaming PC for any budget.

Good luck!

Why does my PS3 lag offline on most games on 23 inch full 1080p LED PC monitor ?

WILDLEGHOR

So for 2 years I've played on my PC which was a very powerful rig ! But recently last week, I bought a PS3 Slim & I've been noticing some lag (basically rendering lag,) on most games like KZ2 (appears to run in about 35 to 40 fps & not 60), Fallout 3 GOTY (same problem), etc ! Overall the gameplay is smooth & fps are constant but it feels to me that I'm getting about 35-40 fps on all games & not more than that ! Why is this so ? Is it because I've been gaming on my powerful PC rig in the past @ 60fps ? Is it because of my small size of PC monitor (using HDMI though !)? Can someone name me some games that run a.) full 1080p b.) 60fps constant (a. & b. can be different) ? It's getting more than enough air-flow as I've placed a big ass giant table fan in front of it & after touching it for more than 5 hour, I can safely say it's not overheating or getting hot AT ALL !! It's mildly hot (but as you'd except, not more) !

What do you guys think is it me being paranoid (especially because I gamed on my powerful PC for so long) ? Is this the same feeling everyone gets while playing ? Or is it just me ? Will buying a 40+ inch HDTV solve my problem to some extent ! PLz.. tell me the cheapest price of a 40 inch full HDTV (don't care about company/manufacturer, i just want an estimation of cheapest quality 40inch HDTV) ? What do you think ? Can this be because of a cheap HDMI cable (red in colour)

Any PC gamer turned to PS3 gamer's advice would be really helpful, also someone gaming a PS3 on 25 inch or low monitor advice would be appreciated !

Answer
Your problem actually stems from your PS3 and not your monitor. Had the same problem when I switched to a PS3 when my PC blue-screened on me. Also, contrary to popular opinion, Fallout 3 GOTY is not perfect. In fact, a week into buying the game, i had 7 freezes and 2 crashes on my Fallout 3 GOTY, on a MONTH OLD PS3 ! The size of the monitor doesn't matter, as I run mine on a 21 inch LG monitor at 720p. My advice to you would be, if you have such a powerful PC, play Fallout on said PC. Leave the PS3 for console-only games. I've always noticed Fallout working better on the PC anyway.

Good PC gaming monitor?

KewlzYo

Right now I'm using a 1440x900 Samsung 19' monitor for all my gaming, but I'm looking to get something bigger.

The specs I want are 1920x1200 resolution (only 16:10 ratios, not a fan of the TV style 16:9), with a size of 24". Under 6ms lag would be cool also.

Any brand, and obviously cheaper is better... ;)

Thanks!

Answer
Any monitor you get that is bigger will work, what you should look into if you're worried about the resolution is your graphics card. Every graphics card has a limit to the resolution that they're capably of displaying. Mine, for example, is capable of displaying only up to 1440x900 (ATI Radeon HD 2400 PRO). Check your settings on your current gfx card by going to the desktop settings and seeing what the max possible resolution is on yours. If yours can display what you're looking for, then just get a bigger monitor, preferably one with HD capabilities. If you can't display the resolution you're looking for, get a new graphics card along with your new monitor.

I need a gaming pc that will come to 900$ MAX with monitor and OS included?

sharebear4

So i'm trying to build a gaming PC. And all the builds I like that i've made come to 1,000 or more with the monitor and OS (windows 7) so I need a build that will come to 800-900 total with the monitor and windows 7 included. Games i'll be playing... Diablo 3, Guild Wars 2, and Elder scrolls online whenever it comes out and maybe Skyrim and the Total War games.
I've done alot of research already lol that's why I need a build! Someone give me their build please

Answer
I made you this build that comes out to EXACTLY $900 that has a 20' LED monitor and and I managed to add a cpu cooler so that you could overstock your i5 that I put in there. This is a really nice build and I'm surprised I was able to get it for that price. This is a really good gaming computer for the money. I hope you enjoy the build I made you and I hope you are able to do something with it. If you need it cheaper just take off the cpu cooler and that will save you $25.

PC Monitor vs TV for gaming?

Charlie

Basically I'm looking for a screen I can use for gaming on a Xbox and for watching films etc. I originally looked for a TV but all the decent TVs nowadays have all this smart wifi rubbish and you can't really get a decent small non smart TV with a refresh rate good enough for gaming. So I was wondering if I would get better value for money by getting a PC monitor instead. If so any good models you suggest?

Answer
A lot of pro gamers use computer monitors for gaming instead of TVs. the reason for this is the response time, sometimes the TV's cause lag, but Computer Monitors don't that is why pros use the monitor. Plus some people don't like big TVs because you gotta keep turning your head. I you want to use a computer monitor i would go with a good one that isn't to cheap but isn't to expensive, and make sure you get a size that you are comfortable with.

This website explains the lag and game mode purposes on TVs.

Is there any way to use a PC Monitor (perhaps an advanced one) to play console video games?

Chuka

.....i.e. playing PS3 on a PC Monitor instead of a TV? Any specific types of monitors that allow this?

Answer
you need an LCD monitor. Or an LCD tv. most are compatible in both directions.

my samsung TV has all the usual connection found on a TV as well as HDMI and VGA (for hooking my laptop to if i want).

My brother has an LG LCD monitor hooked up to his PC that he also plays his Xbox 360 through - and if he's feeling nostalgic, his sega dreamcast! lol

i noticed recently here in the UK that some of the major electrical stores don't seem to understand the difference between small LCD monitors and TV's, as two stores i went into were both selling 14" - 22" monitors as TV's! but i guess that also shows how similar both are getting these days.

How to set up computer with dual monitors to only play sound from a certain monitor?

best gaming pc monitor image

RB

I have my computer hooked up to my TV through a miniHDMI cable. I want to have the sound to come from only That monitor. For example: I want to have netflix for example to play on the TV while I am playing a game on my PC monitor, but only want sound to play from the TV, and not the PC monitor. I have windows 7 home premium edition 64 bit, and use an INTEL/nvidia system if it matters.

Answer
You can easily extend your Windows desktop across more than one monitor by plugging two or more monitors into a desktop computer or one or more monitors into a laptop. Most laptops allow you to connect one external monitor. A desktop that spans two or more monitors significantly increases your desktop area so that you can drag windows, program icons, and other items to any location on the extended desktop.

How much will it cost to build a gaming pc?

That Kid F

I was looking into building a gaming pc instead of buying a next gen console since everyone online says its cheaper than a console.. Which I only seen the computer not including a monitor or keyboarding or anything go for $699 at the cheapest? Can someone tell me a rough price point of what the price would be?

Answer
A good gaming PC that can run Crysis 3 on High getting 30 FPS will cost around $500. I am linking you to a build that has everything you need. You can also always check youtube channels such as teksyndicate(razethew0rld), Adam Evans(duncan30333), NeweggTV, and LinusTechTips/NCIX

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twUM3vkm-mo It seems many people have decided to use this, as Newegg contacted him saying that they will be getting more of the parts, as they must have ran out!
