BestConfigs Poll - Budget Intel Gaming PC

[sora]

They are not bad brands, but the particular components selected from those brands for the 1000 dollar builds are not well balanced.

And I do not think you deserve any reasoning. They simply are not good enough for a 1000 dollar build. Had it been a budget build like $500 one then that is fine, but for 1000 dollar build, No!!

You're being pretty 'mean' and yes, it seems like you are trying to start a debate. Grow up, this is supposed to be a poll on the best '$1000 dollar Intel budget build'.

If I am looking to build a comp today, would one of these builds still be ideal or should I make some tweaks due to price changes if I'm still looking in the $1000 range?

Prices change all the time and things only get cheaper. Use these builds as a base line. Black Friday is coming up...You know what that means.

The prices have changed a lot, so, No! I would not suggest these builds as for now. There are a lot good new parts available now for cheaper prices. But yeah, these builds are good for the time they were planned.

I got a question:
I don't understand that much about PC hardware, but from what it seems, Zared619's build would require an ethernet cable to access the internet, no? Or does the motherboard come with a built in wireless card?

 

[Praise_Gaben]

I can't vote somehow, but i would go with Sangeet's build. But it doesn't really matter that much, they're all great builds.

 

[Sangeet Khatri]

It does matter. I am little behind by a few votes...

To try to help you a little more, none of these builds have built-in wireless capabilities. However, you could easily add wireless via expansion card or usb device. I will give you examples of both.
wireless card (goes on motherboard) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833166047
usb device (goes in any usb port) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833315091

Given the choice between Better Motherboard + SSD + 3GB 7970 + Corsair case and 2GB 770 + No SSD + Little Inferior Motherboard + Rosewill Case, I would choose up the first one.

Nvidia makes people blind. People would prefer one rig over another just because there is Nvidia. Nevermind..

 

[envy14tpe]

For $1000 I'd definitely want a SSD in a build. And that Rosewill case is horrible. I'm not sure what people are thinking. Well, better luck next time all.
