I'm lazy and know nothing about building computers, and I don't think I plan on learning how to any time soon.
What gaming computers would you guys recommend and what should I look for? Is this the right board for this? Or should I be going to Sup Forums

the guy tgat runs that site admitted that he gets payed by manufacturers . He's payed to advertise each tier parts.
Thanks guys
1. We need to know your budget.
2. There are literally new cards coming out. A generational jump. For example the latest one we know of is 200 bucks and exceeds the level of a 300 buck card atm. So it's advised you wait a month or two.
Intel i5 processor
cheapest matching motherboard
8GB DDR3 or 4 RAM, depending on your Mobo
GTX 970 or 1070
600W 80+ Bronze PSU
Pirated W7 Ultimate x64
There you go, you can play anything at 1080p/60fps, all high settings, for the next few years.
>suggesting the 970
you want this guy to waste money on outdated garbage or something?
I was think something along the lines of 500 to 600. If that's possible. I've seen some good looking ones around that price.
Is it even worth waiting for 1070, i just want a fucking gpu and play games since thats all im missing.
thta desktop is a great price for the card alone
so its an actually decent pc
Hey op i just got this 5 days ago and it fucking rock's.
Not OP but are any of these good? Im in the same boat.
elitegamingcomputers.com
Does this website have any reputability?
looks shit
If you can't take five minutes to build a gaming PC then you should just buy a console
My bad op here are some of the specs
i7 67000k
gtx 970
ya but it run's like a beast.
I thought as much
Given your budget waiting for zen and the r9 480 will suit you well
The 480 will run you 200 and zen cpus are said to be releasing later this year. You'd get a shitload of performance at a low cost
I found a better picture for you.
still think it looks like shit?
20-30% faster than GTX 980, for cheaper price, with DX12 support.
Aussie here, I am also pretty much wanting to get a new rig. I've been told I should have a minimal budget of at minimum $1000 to start with, how accurate is this? Should I just go get parts from a cheap as fuck place like MSY or just buy an entire machine?
Yes
The 970 has 3.5 gb vram and the standard is 8gb now. Don't even get me started on tflops
I'm just warning you so you don't waste your money and blame others when you learn you bought outdated tech
1000 bucks / euros is pretty much the MAXIMUM any smart person would use on his build. Unless you really wanna game at 4k / 120fps, on Ultra.
And is releasing zen which can drive cpu prices down. Depends if you're willing to wait
Yes, it's shit, looks like something from 2008.
How long of a wait are we talking? I've still got a ways to go before I hit my 1k goal. I'm thinking no longer than a month/six weeks until I hit it.
C'mon user are you sure you are just not broke and mad? i was poor too once then i got a job.
> predator
Amds demoing zen today in 2 hours for the first time
Well get more info then to see if it's worth it
Thought it'll prob be end year so just pick up an Intel if you're too impatient
OP here
Look's pretty sick, how much did that cost?
I will look into it.
I wish I knew more about computers. I just want to stop playing games on my laptop and run better ones like Doom, and Fallout 4. Also to play everything in high qualtiy.
it's retarded gamer shit
compared to this, that case is tacky and tasteless
Both are fucking garbage.
Unless your case is a steel featureless box you're doing it wrong.
I am, might get in on it later on towards that point in the year
what, you wanted something like this?
Pretty similar to mine but I don't even have a clear side. It's just all black.
> $1000
>minimum
topkek, no. Minimum would be half of that.
hey op i got it on newegg for 1200$ it came with a steelseries keyboard,steel series mouse,preditor mouse (ino it came with 2 new gaming mouses weird right?)preditor headset and a preditor mouse pad.
and it runs any game i throw at it on ultra.
Both of you are missing the point. op needs a good pre built pc thats what im trying too help him/her with.
I wasn't responding about the OP, I was telling that person calling the other case tasteless a retard because his is just as retarded looking.
Overall though it's the inside of a PC that truly matters so if you want shitty looking cases be my guest, as long as the PC is well made.
Poorfag here. Would it be a good option if I built a cheap PC, and change its parts once it gets old? I have a laptop now with FUCKING INTEL HD GRAPHICS, so I can't run shit and want a PC that can handle most stuff, even if at minimum.
I'm not american, I'm from Chile, but I have around $500.0000 (which is about $725 dollars, I think). What should I look for? I heard the motherboard is the most important part, but I don't really know.
is there a crash course i can read online to just figure all of this stuff out? Not OP but Im trying to get a mid tier PC soon for relatively cheap for mid level gaming and something I can use for 3d design as well. My budget is about 500 dollars, i would spend more but am a college student with a part time minimum wage job.
i could not agree with you any more user.
>choosing style over functionality
I think Apple might make products your style.
Let me guess, you like those retarded fucking small form cases too?
Judging by the fact that you bought a prebuilt, my guess is that you're stupid not rich.
>steel featureless box
You must be quoting the wrong post because I'm pretty sure I just said I like cases that are 100% functionality and no style.
>Runs like beast
>970
Nice one user.
Instead of admitting my fault, im going to meme on you.
Trolled you hard faggot
It's ok user, take this ebin meme in return.
aw what
Never once did i say i was rich, I told you i had a job.
Hey i play all my games on ultra with over 100 fps so ya it gets it done
How does this sound, so far? :
GPU: ASUS GTX 960 (STRIX-GTX960-DC2OC-2GD5)
CPU: Intel Core i5-4590
Motherboard: MSI B85M-E45
Take in mind my budget is pretty low.
Well you're not playing the most currently demanding games because my 980 can't even max out some games and get a 100 FPS.
but what are the specs.
>outdated hardware
>runs shit like overwatch at 120 fps
Love this meme built mine this month and the 970 was cheap and effective.
pcpartpicker.com
no burrito version however
what exactly is your budget
hey op here is the published speccy of my insides
Rate my meme machine
hey op these are my specs
>Tfw still rocking a first gen i5
I really, really need to replace it, but to do that I need to get a new motherboard and at that point I might as well just build a whole new PC so everything is new and spiffy.
Could I make something good with select parts from this section?
And you're surprised why?
Every single tech website out there is paid by one manufacturer or another.
Is this a decent build? I'm trying not to go over 800 dollarydoos. Should I change anything and if so what?
The fuck is the point of building a gayman PC in 2016? There's fucking nothing to play to take advantage of that power. There's nothing even worth playing, frankly.
I know the feel all too well my man.
I built a sick ass rig last year and all I play is roller coaster tycoon, morrowind, snes and n64 emulators, and some occasional minecraft. I can run all of that shit on my dad's wife's adware bloated laptop.
bumping for input
Playing multiplats at acceptable framerates?
>it's looking like 1440p is about to become the new standard
Can't wait for a new GPU and monitor. Too bad 4k gaming maxed out is still just out of reach right now.
looks okay except cooler masters are always a bitch to fit into the motherboard, noctua was so much easier
I wanna build a PC and I'm gonna buy a 1070 for my GPU. I've heard it can do 1440p quite easily. My max size for my monitor is 24 inches(maybe 25). Can you rec me a 1440p monitor that has a 120hz rate and is less than 24 inches long?
no poptarts
0/10
what the fuck are you doing with an aftermarket cooler on a non oc mobo, get rid of it, only the K versions don't come with a cooler now
3TB Seagate? fuck that, avoid 3TB, stick with 1TB if you're going Seagate
terrible case
psu is pre-built tier
Cool, I'll swap the fan for another one and go with this then. Thanks for the input.
120hz monitor are dead unfortunately. I thought it was a good middle ground between 60 and 144hz but the only ones I can find are 1080p.
$700, but it should be up to at least $850 by the end of June.
Do you have an 144hz one in that same size range?
A lot of the ASUS ROG stuff is pretty good if you're interested in a prebuild. Try looking into their stuff.
>I don't think I plan on learning how to any time soon
here, this 9-year-old can teach you
youtube.com
yes
yes
the EVO is a good drive, but for a OS drive I would get something like the 850 pro or a crucial MX300 128 GB
also, do yourself a favor and go for the 380x with the money you save
>youtube.com
>2013 was 3 years ago
FUUUUCK
>buying a prebuilt
You're getting screwed. Always.
>I would get something like the 850 pro or a crucial MX300 128 GB
>also, do yourself a favor and go for the 380x with the money you save
Thanks I'll look into it
Like what? Doom? Because that's the only decent game that's come out this year, and it sure as fuck isn't worth building a new rig for.
Don't get me wrong, it's not like it's worth buying a console either. The current market is just a fucking wasteland of bland, boring garbage.
>only this year's multiplats count
RotTR was released like half a year ago. Just the first example that comes to mind.
Wait til the 1070 and 1080 come out then buy a computer, don't even bother looking at the 970 ,980 ,or 980ti right now unless you want to lose money
Return that and just wait til the 1070 comes out, so you dont have a 3.5gb card
>that fucking graph
every time
Like this one better?
Ignore everyone else, OP. A minimum of $1000 is a good starting place considering our inflated prices and the weaker AUD. For example, the 1080 is a minimum of $1299AUD and a 970 is about $450 unless you're buying second hand. I got a pretty good ex-demo i6 machine for $600 off budgetpc.com though, I'd hunt around there for refurbished/ex-display machines. Anything there is the cheapest you'll get in Aus
yes
$500 budget, but I already have a HAF 912, Peripherals, HDD, and 8gb of ram.
>using any AA at 4k
I can't even imagine why.
Why are you even here then?
Guys, how's the HP Envy 15-AE101LA? I need to have a laptop because of my studies, but I also want to play.
Is the NVIDIA GeForce 940M (2GB) card a decent one? I just want to play some Rocket League and Overwatch, really. Nothing too fancy or AAA.
>we need to go deeper
i3
H170
1060
no
no
Will my current planned build be good (After I switch the 970 with the 1070?)
that MB is complete shit
at least get an H170 with options you can live with
Get a generally non-shit board with DDR4 RAM, and some DDR4 ram.
>LGA1151
>DDR3
What? 1151 is only compatible with DDR4 and DDR3L.
>30hz screen
Yes, you have a little over a week to rate and even the 1070 is better than the current top of the line TItan X/980 Ti, which both destroy the 1070. Also, as others have said, 8GB VRAM is going to become standard in the next couple of years so if you want any kind of future proofing at all you might as well wait a tiny bit.
