Intestine Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 So I was hoping to spend no more than 900USD. If someone can at least give me a whole rundown of how and what I can do, What website to go to, etc. I want it to look nice, of course. I would like a great Cooling system, 8+gb of ram with at least 2 TB. An amazing graphix card too. I'll be playing/streaming Runescape/Dayz and just play LoL. Maybe some More online games from Steam, and also to support college.

Intestine Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 I don't know what parts to buy, that's the bad thing.

Intestine Posted July 12, 2014 Author Posted July 12, 2014 Graphics CPU HSF Motherboard RAM HDD SSD Power Supply Case So i'll just follow these steps, then the only thing i'll have to do is assemble it?
N88 Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 This would be pretty solid build, it's a under 1000$ build by pcpartpicker.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.1716299&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID= Also you should look at www.reddit.com/r/buildapc or www.reddit.com/r/buildapcforme for more advices.
RSturtle Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 I've built and overclocked many a computer, if you would like some personalized advice feel free to give me a PM Choosing components based on what you are doing is very important.
Asap Ferg Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 If you're going for gaming (especially dayz), I recommend getting the nvidia 780 & 8gb+ of ram. The monitor should have less then a 5ms response time if you're going to be serious about gaming You won't be able to build a decent gaming PC for under $900 AUD though, especially if you want 2 TB & water cooling. Also, go to best buy & see if they'll assemble it for you.

Also, go to best buy & see if they'll assemble it for you. AMD cards are better price/performance atm, especially in the US. Response time isn't that important, I would suggest getting 120/144hz instead. You could build a rig for 900$ which can run any game in high/ultra on 1080p. In fact you could probably build one with 600$ which would run everything on medium/high
Fringie Posted July 12, 2014 Posted July 12, 2014 (edited) It might help if you look at a video explaining how to do it.. It's very straight forward and it's a probably more effort to explain it to you than it is for you to watch a video on it (this is a decent video ). These are some specs that requires me next to no thinking, it's not a full computer. The pricing might be slightly over $900 or seriously under, I'm not going to look it up. i5 4690 (not the k edition, you don't sound like you're interested in overclocking. Corsair RM 550 Since you're not going to have a sexy cpu cooler (you'll just use the one that comes with your cpu) i'd recommend this case http://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prodigy/ . It's a small sexy looking case. Bad airflow but good enough for a gaming pc. You'll need a m-itx (look it up, I'm just guessing) form factor motherboard. A low end lga 1150 b95 (?) motherboard will do fine. Samsung 840 Evo 250Gb Seagate 7200 rpm 64mb cache 2tb HDD Since you're on a small budget go with an AMD graphics card the price/performance ratio is better than Nvidia. The Corsair RM will be able to power any (non dual) graphics card system. I had 290x in my rig which is powered by a Corsair RM 550 and had no problems, the 290x is the most power hungry consumer grade graphics card. You should be able to afford a r9 280 or better graphics card with the money left over. You can buy parts on sites such as newegg.com I don't live in the US so other people will know better ones than I do. Edited July 12, 2014 by Fringie
guitarfret66 Posted July 13, 2014 Posted July 13, 2014 I'll skype you and walk you through some computer/tech details. I've been in a computer mainteneance and repair class for 2 years now and I've repaired countless numbers of computers and built 2 on my own. Well 3 if you count a shitty experiment.... But judging by this: So i'll just follow these steps, then the only thing i'll have to do is assemble it? You should probably have some 1 to 1 help with this topic. You can easily f*** stuff up if you don't know what you're doing.
