best gaming computer case under 100 image
Anonymous
Apparently, I am not good with putting parts together, because the price for the things I've got listed is over 1000 dollars, and I have heard of people with amazing gaming desktops for less than 500.
I'm willing to spend between 600-1000. Under 600 or close to it would be optimal until I get a job.
What I have so far, is:
Monitor : LG - 24" Widescreen Flat-Panel LED Multifunction HDTV Monitor
Tower : Corsair - Obsidian Series 650D Mid-Tower Case
Power Supply : Corsair - Enthusiast Series 850-Watt ATX/EPS CPU Power Supply
CPU : Intel - Core⢠i7-4770K 3.5GHz Processor
Ram : NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card
Fan : Corsair - Hydro Series H100i Dual 120mm Fan CPU Cooler
I don't know if that is all I need, but it turned out being extremely expensive.
My first question is, would this be a good gaming computer?
My second question is, is there a cheaper set up that would be just as good?
Answer
If your main purpose for your build is gaming, then I recommend getting the Intel 4670K instead of the 4770K, the reason why, is that there is almost no game on the market to date that totally takes advantage of Hyper-threading and in some cases it has been known that hyper-threading can actually drop your FPS in some games.
What I recommend doing with the extra $100 you would be spending on the 4770K and invest it in a better GPU, something on the lines of the GTX660ti or the GTX760. The GPU is were you will see the most improvement in gaming all together as games now a days are more GPU intense then they are CPU intense.
Other then that, very very nice build you have going. Also one other thing, if you want to throw a little more money towards a better GPU after saving the $100, you can get a PSU that has 600W and it will still be enough power to support everything you have. Now a days everything is about power saving not how much power you have like it was about 5 years ago. GPU's don't even use a ton of power like they use to.
Hope this helped you,

How can I build a cheap gaming computer?
Nathan
I need the parts for the cheapest gaming computer that would at least run Fallout 3 on medium no lag with 1280x1024 res. I already have a diablotek phd 450 power supply with a Nvidia Geforce 6200 AGP 8x
If an upgrade is necessary then throw on a video card :)
My Geforce has 512mb and my original computer was a dimension 4600i :/
Terrible and not meant for gaming, If possible could i nab some specific things to buy?

Hey man if you can afford to pay $600 or $500 dollars for just the desktop with no mouse, or keyboard and hopefully if you do then this is the perfect computer for you. It can play games of today good if you put in the right settings, but I recommend you getting the 4gb version instead of the 2gb. Make sure you install win7 ultimate to get the best performance which is $179. So all together you'll spend under $600 and play any game of today pretty dam well. You could also just get the regular windows 7 and buy the home premium version for $100 which will have a total under $500. This computer has plenty of room for upgrades except the the power supply, but 550Watts is enough for a lot of gpus today. The motherboard has a max of supporting 16gbs and you'll need a gpu that has no power connectors, but if you do get one that needs one, then you'll have to get a adaptor so you can give the power connectors to the gpu. Motherboard also supports x6 cores and has a cpu core unlocker which is a good thing to have if you know how to do it! The MSI 5670 512mb is great for overclocking because of it's dual fans!

List for a cheap and awesome computer: You can also add more memory to the hard drive if 320 isn't enough and here is the list from parts on newegg.com:
Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811147120
Motherboard: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130290
Power Supply 550w: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817170019
Graphics Card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127523
CPU core: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103886
2gb Ram: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144454
HDD 320gb(my choice): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152244
CD/DVD reader/burner: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106335
Operating System: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116754
Thermal CPU paste: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835100007
If you get it now you'll save $17 bucks because of the instant savings for the PSU and the Computer Case. It's too late for the mother board or you would of saved $27 all together.
The total is $508.92 right now. Use to be $498.92, but oh well. If the savings end you'll pay $527.92.
Total right now: $508.92
Later: $527.92
Make sure you make a newegg account and make a wish list then add them and buy them all together and save a few bucks.
Great cpu and you can unlock the x3 450 core into a x4 650 core which is if you know how to do that and if you really need it to play games at a better fps rate, but you'll need a better cpu cooler which should cost you $25 or around that price.
Just don't forget to get a Hard Drive that has 500gb if you don't want a temporary 320gb hard drive.
