Best pc build for 400 $ ?

[Dimitris_1]

just reccomend me some builds. dont care about from what sites there are. also its for very budget gaming to play the basic game (cs go , lol and maybe skyrim on lowest settings)

Do you currently have any hardware that will be used in the new build?

$400 is really constraining, even if you already have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, and OS.

I know the pc master race folks will kill me for this but if $400 is your end all be all budget, then a ps4 or xbone would be the way to go. If you can wait and get up to say $600 you'd be in business.

Here's a good build for a little less than 400 😀. This is currently what I am building!

This will run games like CSGO LoL minecraft GTA 5 with HIGH fps! Also I suggest over clocking!

 

[okcnaline]

Depends on what you mean by "high" FPS... :lol:

Go preowned.

Switch out the motherboard for something not Biostar.

It's got good enough reviews.

I'd go with this for $400.

Keep in mind that all of the builds don't include a license of Windows which is about $100 on it's own. Or you can use Linux with Steam and play quite a few games on that.

You have 3 basic choices:

■You have all the peripherals (kb/m, monitor, etc), and are willing to pirate an OS. Then I would go with what others have recommended for a build. You can surf at your own leisure.
■You have nothing, only a few peripherals, or don't want to pirate an OS. You would be best off to buy a pre-made PC. I wouldn't recommend this for gaming
■Buy a console

At $400, your system will be outdated super quick, and not worth the investment since you will need to put in more money within the next 1.5-2 years (and that's being optimistic). My personal opinion is that you either save $600-$800 and get something decent for gaming, or buy a console.

me2 , however i would go with a 500w quality powersupply(this is quality psu alreayd but low wattage).
for IMMEDIANTLY NOW i would go with this but if u want to add in the future a more powerhungrry gpu, u gotta upgarde the psu too. sooo better add 20 dollars now immediantly.

 

[okcnaline]

Um... Quality PSU? This is a SeaSonic unit... 350 W is enough, the GTX 750 is not power hungry.

sorry for my english yes for now its enough but i mean if he want a different gpu he needs anoter psu if the gpu si more hungry (like a gtx 970), or whatever comes out soon.

better add 20 dollars now (investment) than later a whole new psu get it?😛

 

[okcnaline]

True enough.

 

[James Mason]

Basically what Ickypickle said is correct.

Anything you buy at this pricerange is gonna fade out real quick, and you're gonna have to spend more in the future to outright replace whole parts to upgrade the parts you actually want to upgrade.
