Under 500$ gaming pc

gabada · Sep 20, 2017

Hey guys , would like to build a gaming pc under 500$ . I m new here , so I would like your help .
Thank you
P.S. Don't mind peripherals

kurosagi01 · Sep 20, 2017

You need peripherals and monitor included in this PC or just the main system itself? Do you have any existing computer parts you could salvage to use like a cpu,motherboard,ram, hard drive and OS.

Hello and welcome to TPU. More information will be needed for adequate help.

Do you have parts from previous system ? Which on line shops do you have access to ? Which country ? Are you willing to use second hand parts - like a PC case for example ? or you want everything brand new ? Should we include OS as well ?

Hello , thanks . I prefer everything brand new . Any country is acceptable for me ... no OS is needed

What PSU do you have, I wouldn't risk it if it is some no-name PSU.

I would buy a new Gold Rated PSU from a reputable brand.

Hm, it is a CWT based PSU so it should be decent. I can't find any reviews for it so I can't really say. What I'm worried tho, even though it's 500W it has just one 6+2 PCI-e cable. I would find a new PSU to go along with the build.

StrayKAT · Sep 20, 2017

With that little money to spare, he can happily get by with 500 though.

IceScreamer · Sep 20, 2017

What are your options for buying? Are you ordering online or you're buying from a local store?

gabada · Sep 20, 2017

PSU won't be a big problem . I'm going to buy online , cause there is no such a local shop with big choice ... They got no gaming parts ( More of them )

What sort of Games ? do you wish to play and what sort of performance level are you expecting from this Gaming PC

heres a start w/ knowing all but nothing more than "a basic gaming PC for $500" but it gives a rough idea of what to and not to spend $$ on.

4 thread pentium
8 Gb ddr4
basic MoBo
Seasonic PSU
gtx 1060
case needed. im of the school of thought that a case isnt worth spending money on, so i leave it out until last minute.

) , new trending games

the kids still got it! :roll:

its just a rough idea, but with the limited info the OP provided, its a good start IMO. spending where it actually matters, leaving the shiny mobo, and cases out

BTW, I recommend B&H photo to anyone who hasnt found a replacement for the now all but dead Newegg, B&H has been really great when ive ordered from them, they will even price match if you email them randomly. just food for thought.

Why would be a Gold Rated PSU a must have ?

ikeke · Sep 20, 2017

If nothing can be reused then: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GBsHcc (newer H110 boards should have compatible BIOS preinstalled)

If case and PSU can be reused then https://pcpartpicker.com/list/T3fMsJ

and the CPU , is this ok ? Just I ain't know so much

Thanx for help guys . The price looks nice, I appreciate

gabada · Sep 20, 2017

Hmm Crucial SSD ? Is it NEEDED for gaming pc ? I thought HDD could be nice as well

jboydgolfer · Sep 20, 2017

i didnt pick the PSU due to ratings, i picked it because it is a Seasonic, and a reputable quality PSU.

SSD is NOT needed.
HDD will suffice

An intel i5 would be a bit better for gaming but that's probably out of your budget.
