Hello guys,
I am currently in the market for a new PC. This would be my first dedicated PC, and I only have 1100 dollars. Of course I don't want to spend all that at once, since I need to buy the peripherals, too.
I was wondering if I could build a PC for 8 or 9 hundred dollars that will run games on high with 60+ fps.
I am new to this, but I was able to put this together.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/tHKwkL I've been told it is a great rig, but I want to know if I can get a better deal, for same or similar performance. I've heard that AMD makes great, cheap processors, so I could go for one of those.
The total cost of the rig, including monitor and m/kb, should be around 900-950 (if 800 dollars are invested only on the rig), and that would be just awesome, since it would allow me to keep some money for the bus passes, hahaha.
Thanks.
