best gaming computer parts list image

Applejoe

I will be building my first gaming computer soon and i have no idea what to look for in parts. For example in a graphics card Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 what in that do i look for that's best for me. But to keep is simple lets just start with the differences in the graphics cards. If it is simple to explain other parts i will gladly appreciate it.

ok first cpu: this is your central processing unit and the base of your computer in gaming no one needs over 4-cores the 2500k is an excellent cpu and is very cheap but great hardware and is able to over clock to 4.8-5.0ghz stable but in doing so you need liquid cooling such as


http://www.corsair.com/cpu-cooling-kits/hydro-series-water-cooling-cpu-cooler/hydro-series-h80-high-performance-liquid-cpu-cooler.html

and a good psu such as a 850-1000watt corsair psu there probably the best out there


ok so now we come the the ram:also know as (random accessible memory) the is very important you want about 6gb of ram gaming take 3gb at most and thats most meaning a building in battlefield 3 is calapsing right in front of you and about one thousand other things blowing up in your face
ram is mesured in mhz 1600mhz been good gaming ram 2200mhz being elite gaming ram its up to you the mhz don't make too big of a difference exept in mine craft or something (great game) if you 16gb that means that your going to run a server you will never need above 16gb so with ram comes the choose of windows 7
get the windows 7 home premium 64BIT DONT GET THE 32BIT that only allows windows 3gb of ram


now comes the gpu: also called graphics card video card what ever you want but this is the MOST important thing of gaming this is were the gaming processing happens for elite gamers running games on ultra at never less of 80fps in insane combat come the evga gtx 590 hydro copper
this is armed with two of the gtx 580 chips

being very expensive you get every penny of what you pay for i have this and its powerhouse like none other if you won't cheaper but still good get the gtx 570 for ultra 45fps gtx 560ti for high 45fps and so on


now psu: know as the (power supply unit) this is VERY important make sure you get all the power you rig needs for its all its parts 850-1000watts would never let you down 1000 only for over clockers i would get the sea sonic or the corsair i think corsair is better but some people think different but sea sonic is amazing also

case:well its the case and i would get any cosair case there really good and the best is the 800d the best case with amazing cable management and other stuff i have it and it does everything


now comes accessories theses are mice keyboards and stuff
top of the line: razer
really cool but not to reliable:cyborg (rat 7 is the best mouse)
cheap but ok:logitech
and so on


well i hope this help don't mind to ask for other stuff :D

EDIT:i have experience with everything I've listed and all of it is good
i have all the elite stuff lol :D

How good of a gaming computer will I be able to build with a $450 budget?

Ethan

Hello. I am planning on building a gaming computer. I know How to build a gaming computer, but I'm not sure if my $450 budget is enough to build a "good" computer (just the computer not including price of monitor, mouse, case, ect.) By "good" I mean if the computer I will be able to build with this budget can run games such as CoD, battlefield 3, Arma 2, and other games. I would like to be able to run these games with max graphic settings, and other settings that will overall boost the game FPS, quality, and performance. I also want to be able to have a fast processor with at least 3 ghz, and atleast 8gb of RAM. I would like to have a great quiet fan that does the job. Please can you tell me if this is possible, or if I can buy a computer with these specifications. Can you please Recomend parts I will need to buy with the prices if this is possible? Or can you tell me the name of a computer I can buy and list it's price? Thank you.

Answer
