Create my own configuration PC

[Havvvy]

Hello, i need some help choosing my parts for my new PC.

I want to build a PC cheap but able to play these games at least :

DayZ
Diablo III
Starcraft II
Fifa 14

Till now i choose these parts :

- nVidia GeForce GTX 460
- AMD Phenom II X4 955
- ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0

what do you think ?

i would like to add like 4GB ram ...

Thats an old cpu/gpu combo, what is your budget? will you do overclocking?

 

[boosted1g]

GTX 460 is a very old and weak gpu, and wont play any intensive games with much of any performance.

Do you already have the Phenom. The Phenom is now a 2 generations old and would actually cost more then its much better replacements.

MoBo is a perfectly fine board.

8gb is highly advised

Still expensive, i would like something a bit cheaper.

Well choose for that MoBo another CPU and a Graphic Card for me please?

Do you have any parts already?

I can make a build but there is no way to build a PC that can play games for cheaper then the build posted earlier, and that build uses a bad cx series psu, and has a cheap crappy fm2 cpu, despite that cpu being the best of its socket it is still less then the middle of the road cpu's like a core i3 or fx-6300. In short that build will be maxed out from day 1 with no upgradeability.

Still no budget? For the price, the budget mentioned above is quite good, you cant go much lower than that.

Find me CPU + MoBo + Graphic not more than £200 please.

I was searching around £40-£50 CPU, £40-£50 moBo, £40-£50 Graphic...

And i was checking the requirements of the games on this http://www.systemrequirementslab.com/

I understand that when you are young you want everything right now but you have to realize that we bought our powerful gamng PCs by saving money, not by buying the only part we can afford this week.

That Graphic card looks a bit expensive, can you find a cheaper one ?

If you have time, find me all the rest of the parts :

Ram, Hdd, Case... CPU Cooler?


Thanks

[boosted1g]

Any GPU cheaper then £100 will only be able to play games at 720p on low, maybe medium, and you can forget about 1080p.

If you want to barley be able to play games with very low FPS due to low performance then go nuts and cheap out your build to all hell, its your money.
If you want to have a half decent computer that can actually play games then you need to realize that you need to just wait and save up another £100.

 

[Havvvy]

What about the MoBo is any difference between microATX and ATX ? in my case ?

And... im still waiting for the rest of the parts, i will buy them one by one each week... from your opinions so thanks for help ! im still waiting for a perfect build pc cheap/good 😀

CAN YOU PEOPLE HELP ME TO CHOOSE WHICH ONE TO BUY? THANKS.

 

[Mominul Hussain]

wait mi boi. soon you'll be able to max those games out with a bit of saving. And you should wait till componenets become a bit more affordable to the whole public (as it does day by day) and wait till day z atleast goes into beta.
