Lew Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 I want to build a gaming Desktop PC, my budget is ?400-?500. Anyone link me up with parts? Quote [Today 11:08 PM] TehByte: One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater ;D
TehByte Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Buy parts from microdirect.co.uk I used that website, they're very reliable. Graphics card you want an nVidia graphics card, get at least 4GB of RAM and a 64-bit OS.

Administrators AWS Posted August 6, 2010 Administrators Posted August 6, 2010 Why don't you just buy a new pc? Quote
TehByte Posted August 6, 2010 Posted August 6, 2010 Michael, you can't buy decent gaming PCs, you need to custom build them Quote "I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.." - Buddha | My Profile | Message Me |
Lew Posted August 6, 2010 Author Posted August 6, 2010 Why don't you just buy a new pc? Buying parts yourself and building it is cheaper, and I feel like building one :) Quote [Today 11:08 PM] TehByte: One Eyed One Horned Flying Purple People Eater ;D
God Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 just remember 4gb ram nvidia graphics card a decent hard drive/sound drive the rest is up to you Quote
GhostSnyper Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 If you're on a budget, get amd and ati parts. for 1000 american, I have a quad core @ 2.6, 4 gigs of high end ddr2, a 320 gig hard drive, a really nice case, and an ATI Radeon 5770. Runs every game I have had the urge to play nicely. Video is your biggest expense, and Nvidia is in no way a bang-for-your-buck product Quote ~GhostSnyper http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r116/ghostsnyper/Ilovethat1.jpg
TehByte Posted August 10, 2010 Posted August 10, 2010 AMD are out rated now :o you should go for the new intel chipset if you're able to purchase them. I have an AMD processor though, they still run very smoothly Quote "I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.." - Buddha | My Profile | Message Me |
Dan Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 Get a core i3 or i5. plenty of power. i can play cod4 on high with my i3 Quote http://nisne.info/dan/nsig.png website design & hosting | dan@nisne.ca
GhostSnyper Posted August 11, 2010 Posted August 11, 2010 i3? horrible pricing... I have a server that runs better than an i5 dual p4 HT @ 2.8 ghz. intel's core series is really over priced Quote ~GhostSnyper http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r116/ghostsnyper/Ilovethat1.jpg
Dan Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 i3? horrible pricing... I have a server that runs better than an i5 dual p4 HT @ 2.8 ghz. intel's core series is really over priced Well better than C2D or C2Q hands down. but an i5 is way faster than a AMD six-core. look up the benchmarks I paid $710 for my laptop and i like it. I want to pick up an i7 here soon. I tried AMD and i didn't like it. My Core i3 is still fast even though the GPU & CPU are AIO Quote http://nisne.info/dan/nsig.png website design & hosting | dan@nisne.ca
GhostSnyper Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 it's faster because of the hyper threading arcitecture Quote ~GhostSnyper http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r116/ghostsnyper/Ilovethat1.jpg
Dan Posted August 12, 2010 Posted August 12, 2010 it's faster because of the hyper threading arcitecture Yeah i know. but still no matter the price Intel > AMD Quote http://nisne.info/dan/nsig.png website design & hosting | dan@nisne.ca
