Comments/Suggestions on Gaming PC?

qwik_silva

I am planning on building my own computer and have made a list of what im thinking of using, located here 'http://pricespy.co.nz/mypage.php?a=qwik_silva&k=8420'

Any comments or suggestions on how i could improve it?

Answer
well everything looks good to me. One thing that i should point out is that your are ordering a blue-ray drive which in my opinion is pointless unless you are going to use your pc with you HDTV. other than that everything looks fine, you should double-check compatibility just in case. And make sure that you power supply gives you at least 50 watts free on a full load.

Hope this helps

budget gaming pc????????

R~E

whats some good parts to build a high end gaming pc i like green pieces and am willing to pay up to $20 if its very high end
lol love all the answers i believe sameer was the only one who understood it was a joke i notice alot of ppl wanting high end gaming computers for 200$ and 300$ and thought it would be funny to see what people say if u go way over board with it

Answer
How old are you? green pieces? you gotta be shitting me!
you cant get a broken computer for $20 lol
but dependent on where you live you should get a custom built computer for example im from New Zealand and http://www.playtech.co.nz/ does the best ones here
Also try http://www.alienware.com/ For very high end flash ones with green pieces!!!!
but thats expensive and you will probably have to be very good to get your parents to buy one of them lol

(After you added additional details)
FUCK YOU!!!! you wasted other peoples time you good for nothing trolling ass face

Can Someone tell me if this gaming PC will be alright: http://pricespy.co.nz/list.php?l=67446&view=m?

Craig

this will be my first gaming pc, didn't want anything too flash so I put together this list on pricespy, can someone tell me if it will be alright or whether there are any problems like wrong motherboard for cpu, too small psu...ect. Just wanna make sure its all ok before I buy.

Also let me now if you have any suggestions for changes within the similar price range

Answer
That is a great build, but most of the parts are WAY overpriced. The i5 3570k is 230 dollars on newegg, the I have the same RAM, it is 45 dollars on newegg (or amazon the prices are comparable) the Radeon HD 7850 is 250 dollars (I have that card) and you could get a 120gb SSD for 100 dollars. A pretty good build, (the 7850 can crush every game I own, it can run BF3 on ultra) and that processor is a great choice, as is the motherboard. I recommend getting a cheaper case, my NZXT Source 210 Elite is an amazing case for 50 dollars, really nice construction. However, it doesn't come with any bells and whistles ie. LED lights, or a window to see inside. Also, your PSU is overpriced, I got a nice corsair 600w one for 60 dollars.

To sum up, all of your parts are overpriced by A LOT. I would buy off of amazon, (I assume you live in New Zealand based on the URL) Amazon ships internationally and even buying international shipping would be cheaper than getting your parts at those prices. Also, a 600w PSU can power everything in your build, and it could also power a second 7850 should you choose. Happy Building!

Answer
Nope its not! In Fact a mac includes a program to install windows natively so its just like its a real pc! (windows as primary operating system)

and you can switch between them at any time by holding the option key during startup

To open bootcamp go to the applications folder, utilities and bootcamp assistant

follow the tutorial...

Note: you require a retail copy of windws...
