  1. Why? What is wrong with them?
  2. I'm not saying they are bad, I'm just saying that they aren't the most trust worthy. If they work for a month or two, normally they are fine and last a while. Otherwise they blow.

  3. Anyways im pretty sure luka wants a prebuilt one due to conversations in game
  4. I think an AMD Polaris card would be better. He's going for a low budget build, and unless you're getting one of the Pascal cards, (With the 1060 being comparable to an AMD 480, mind you) you'd be better off with one of the Polaris line, especially at a 500 pound budget.
  5. If you wanna do some recording, nvidia graphics cards will give you a feature called shadowplay where you can record high quality, 60fps and set it to record the past 10 or 5 or even 1 minute of what just happened if you didn't record it and want it on video :)

    Intel CPU's are better. They used a much newer, balanced design and have much better individual and group core performance than basically all of AMD's, but the good ones come at least 100 dollars more expensive than their AMD equivalents.

    You do not need any of the fancy new GPU's unless you are VR, 4k, or gaming at a super high FPS on max. I hooked you up with a nice AMD card with 4 GB of GDDR5 to run games on high easily.

    Your motherboard comes with only 1 case fan slot. That's a little low, I included 4 case fans to supplement the stock one to create maximum possible airflow in there (feel free to trim one or two, it won't hurt unless your PC runs real hot and I didn't know :p ) You will need these fan splitters to get all them to work, though

    You got a nice 1080 res 60 Hz (60 FPS) monitor for you, and the devastator series are nice, probably the cheapest keyboard / mouse sets I have seen there.

    The cost of this one comes in at $950. If that's a little steep for you, I step things down here ;

    $775
    This features an AMD FX CPU, a GPU with 2 GB of VRAM viddy'o card to run games on high (I can verify ; if you are an overwatch player like me this does high settings nicely)
    Devastator again
    This time the motherboard has enough fan headers for a roomy cooling expansion
    This case is quite nice for a builder

  7. i can get you a gaming computer for 1050
  8. Most people blow their budgets on upgrades they don't need. Stay focused on what you will actually use the computer for. You don't need an expensive machine to do homework.

    I would also buy a complete machine instead of parts. This is often cheaper when you're planning to buy the OS + Case + Keyboard + Mouse. Saves time on the assembly and headaches if any parts are defective.

    Good advice. +1

    I mix-parts here.
