Could i build a gaming computer for 600 - 700 dollars?

Traay

This is excluding things like speakers, a mouse monitor and keyboard. Just the computer itself. Also is it easy to put together if I haven't built one before?

I know a lot about how computers work, but I have never built one.

This build can let you play all games at high-max settings with good FPS

glad to help =P

@shane, no offense but The only thing I looked at among the parts you have recommended is the VIDEO CARD of which is very important in gaming since ALL GAMES are 75% GPU dependent.

Now, what you have recommended is the more expensive versionm of the gtx 550 ti which is 2GB, didn't you know that 2 GB is only good if the ASKER is planning to run 2 MONITORS at the same time but if the ASKER is going to use only ONE MONITOR then a 1 GB VIDEO CARD would be enough.

Next, I recommended a Radeon HD 6850 at $145 while yours is a GTX 550 ti 2GB at $170, MY HD 6850 is significantly much FASTER than your gtx 550 ti here's proof:

GTX 550 ti ranked # 41 overall in single GPU benchmark :

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=GeForce+GTX+550+Ti

RADEON HD 6850 ranked # 16 overall in single GPU benchmark :

http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/gpu.php?gpu=Radeon+HD+6850

So, by looking at these stats, your gtx 550 ti can only allow the asker to play all games at mid settings and some on high settings, WHILE the HD 6850 can play all games at HIGH - MAX settings.

What are some good parts for a gaming computer?

Moises

I would like to build a gaming computer that is perfect for WoW and Guild Wars 2. I have 600-700 dollars to spend on the computer. I would like a desktop. I'm browsing NewEgg.com for all the parts that I need, I just can't decide on what to buy.

Answer
The Hard Drive like the SATA 7500 rpm is the best component and the most important as this is the slowest moving part in any computer. You need 1 gig of ram at the least and a very good video card for graphics.

$714 after rebate delivered, unless you change the power supply to the CX600 to bring it to $700
Most should not collect tax and delivery should be shown at included
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-cpu-review-overclock,3106-5.html
The core i3 is a gaming tier 2
Got the graphics up to HD 7850
The lower wattage CPU (55W) and moderate wattage graphics (130 watt) plus fans and drives allowing 60 watts, means 245 watts on 12V, and 30% buffer is 318 watt target or 26.5A on a single rail.
CX600 with 3 year warranty has 46A available
The XFX with 5 year warranty and solid state capacitors is 44A
It is possible to knock a few dollars off the motherboard using a B75 one.
An Intel build allows later upgrade into an i5.
The Phenom I saw in the other build is power hungry and has no better gaming than the i3.
I chose a decent computer case, but there are others with at least 2 fans (intake+exhaust) and USB 3.0 and 2.0 on the front panel and is spacious inside.

Looking to build a gaming computer?

best gaming computer 700 dollars image

Austin

I have a few questions.

1) Will I have to put it together myself? Or is there a site that will put it together themselves with what I want in it?

2) Is there any type of things I should be looking for? Specific specs, graphic cards, etc.

3) Can I make at least a gaming computer under 700 dollars that will run Battlefield 3 (And 4) on max settings? And any game like that, to be exact.

I have always gotten pre-made ones, but these are my only questions. Any help will be appreciated, thanks!

Answer
1. there are sites where they can help u build ur custom pc (eg. http://www.cyberpowerpc.com , http://avadirect.com/ , http://digitalstormonline.com/ )
2. for gaming pc look for anything above gtx560 or gtx 650 or hd7770, for cpu a dual or quad core i5 is sufficient, ssd will also improve u gaming exp (but it means that u will have little storage, so for ur budget just go with hdd)
3.for ur budget max setting (with 1650 x 1050 and beyond) may result in under 30fps but from my exp is still playable, just lag occassionally

Can i build a good gaming computer for under say 700 dollars?

Logan

Well not necessarily a strict gaming computer, I really want it so i can stream in HD to twitch.tv. I have an elgato cap card but my computer isnt good enough to stream. So would it be possible for me to build one for under 700 or so that could stream how i want it to?
