[steven37]

Hi! I am building two computers for people and I am not the best at picking parts anymore lol. I asked them what they want to do with it they said game. and so I asked them to tell me a couple games they will be playing to get a better look at what type of specs they need in their systems.

System 1 is going to be playing League, Minecraft, and GTA V..
Game requirements:

For this system there isn't really a price range but I want it to be able to run the games at least on max settings for the cheapest price possible! thank you!

System 2 is going to be playing ESO, and Borderlands 2..
Game requirements:

For this one there is no need to add a video card because I already have one for it. Price I am aiming for is $500 Base price.

If you need anymore info please ask I want to make these computers perfect for their needs. I also want them both to have upgrade ability

Thank you so much for the reply! On System 1 is there anyway to get that cheaper? I'm not entirely sure she needs an ssd and 16gb of memory. It is her first computer after all. But I can still ask them about the price and see if its okay.. and for system 2 I think you accidentally missed where I said you don't need to add the video card. Could you help me get a better pc on that, I'm sure the parts can be a lot better without the the card taking up over $100 of the budget

Glad i helped you!

System 1
If she can afford it, is quite good. I found an SSD a "must" in PCs of that level. But you can save some money by removing it or choosing a cheaper one. The SSD won't give you higher fps, just better OS booting times and shorter loading times in the games you install on it. Not a necessity but something you will appreciate. If you take it away, you are saving 60$. If 860$ still to much, you can downgrade your GPU to a GTX960 2GB or a RX470 and swap the 2x8GB of RAM to 1x8GB of RAM (or 2x4GB and take advantage of the dual channel) so you same a couple bucks more. You will have something like this:

Basically, are the same components that you have in the System 1 but with other PSU. You can even cut a bit more by choosing other case which basically depends on what you like.

Hey! Thank you both for the replies! I've been working online changing and putting stuff together and talking to the owners and this is what I have so far... What do you think of these computers? and how do you think they will perform?

System 1
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/Wk74M8
The only thing I'm really worried about is the motherboard.. Do you guys think it will be okay in the long run?

System 2
http://pcpartpicker.com/list/ycvTnn
This one will probably have a gtx 770 in it..
