Gaming pc under budget

[jormungand]

Hi guys, i need some advise from you and opinions. Im buying this month a pc mainly for playing games like Battlefield- Dota 2 and the next Unreal Tournament and some other RPG or FPS, well any single game i like to play. But i cant spend more than $800, im a father and have a family. So here goes what i have in mind for me to last till 3-4years at 1080p/ HighQ.


Im buying from newegg, anyway all advises are welcome. Thanks all and excuse my english im cuban

if i can push my budget will be for 1 of these 2 parts and i think the gpu will be the best option.

It's better to use the PC Part Picker website to put together your list. The site shows the prices of the hardware on all the big sites like newegg and tigerdirect

[jormungand]

this is the original idea although i picked from newegg and the cpu-ram-mobo was a combo with discount.

suggestion- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/nZtrt6

thanks but is too much for me dude and the monitor inst included yet. i dont need hdd / dvd for now. i have my old ones.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

how about this? - http://pcpartpicker.com/p/dhRCgs

better CPU and GPU


edit: since you don't need a HD, with an even better GPU- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/w2qWyc

im taking off the hdd no nned for the moment and i can save a bucks, but personally i dont like His cards dude. Im more for nvidia side and if i choose amd will be sapphire or asus 280x something that pairs with gtx 760 or surpasses. thx for the build hahaha.

check my edited build in my previous post

 

[jormungand]

that looks nice !! i didnt expected to buy a i5 wih that tight budget. My last question is: i have always bought pc parts in newegg, are those sites reliables, silly question since youre giving me the advise but i had to ask lol.

 

[BarbaricSoul]

I wouldn't have an issue buying from them

 

[BarbaricSoul]

BTW, if you didn't notice, that is a 27 inch monitor in my build suggestion, I can up the CPU or GPU, or possibly both if I changed that out for a 24" monitor, which ever you would prefer

 

[jormungand]

yes i noticed the 27 and was good but if i can save money and move to a different brand like asus -dell- acer - benq, will be nice. i really dont like aoc monitors. 24" is fine for me i can snipe well and the creeps in dota 2 will be big anyway lol.

Nice thanks for all just i have to wait till this weekend and make some math and see if i dont have to wait til the end of the month if so,
i will be ordering the pc asap!!!

 

[BarbaricSoul]

No problem, glad to help. Enjoy!!

I would go with this build which i modified from BarbaricSoul's one. Get a 22 - 24" IPS screen instead of 27" TN one. Also i know you said you have HDD but i highly recommend an SSD for the OS. 128GB is $60 and 256 is $90. Otherwise you can shift the $60 to get a R9 290 instead of 280X

I already shifted down to a 24" monitor and used the money saved to up the GPU to a EVGA GTX 770 ACX. The money used for the better GPU compared to an SSD is better spent IMHO. SSDs are nice, but I put more value on the video card.

Yes but it was still a TN and not an IPS panel. Also R9 290 > GTX 770. If he wanna skip on the SSD for the time being I would go with this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/HbjLf7

Do you not read? Jormungand has already said they prefer NVIDIA over AMD. Barb's list is pretty much as good as it'll get with that budget.

 

[Jetster]

I don't like the Rosewill 550w. Everything else is good

It's cool @Lightbulbie , @krusha03 is free to post his/her suggestions, and I encourage it.

I don't see what's the problem. I gave a suggestion, he is free to choose what he wants in the end. He can get the GTX 770 if that is his preference. I would still go for a monitor with IPS panel. And the build i suggested is within budget and has a slightly faster CPU and a Z97 motherboard which means somewhere down the line he can get a cheap 2nd hand i7 k-type cpu and overclock it.
