[Achiless]

Hey guys,

After getting a budget gaming keyboard and mouse(CM storm devastator bundle) and a 100$ gaming headphone(Hyper X cloud) I now need a PC only.

As the the title already stated i need a Gaming/everyday usage PC for around 900-1000$ that will last for a very long time ,help from PC experts are needed.I do not own any operating systems so completed PC may be optional if it is as good as the PC builds any of u stated.

Help from u guys will be appreciated sincerely.

Thks

i would get that Xeon cus it is 9% slower than i5 4690 .

sorry,I click the wrong cpu,I would choose E3-1230 V3,because it have 4cores 8 threads.

i5 4690 is fair enough . 22% faster processor for $50 more ! No need .

i don't think i'll need the hyper threading tho but if it's as good as the 15-4690 then why not but yeah i'm trying not to pass the budget
