Help,I need to buy a gaming computer?

[kimmynice]

I want to buy a gaming computer. I want a desktop. I plan on playing alot of mmorpgs, like raiderz, Continent of the Ninth, TERA, Lune of Eden, GW2. I know that building a computer myself will be cheaper but I really don't know that much about them yet. I need one with a keyboard, mouse, speaker and a monitor, and all. My budget is under $1000 or a little over it.It would be nice if it would last for some years or so . PLEASE HELP ME.!!!!!!!!!

You can read up on building one yourself on toms. Its easy and will save you money. First question; will you overclock? A non K version of an I5 might be what you need. And secondly those games look great even on budget GPU's. The 7850 2gb can be had for 209$. Intel chips use less energy so you dont need more than a 600 watt psu. Do You want a SSD? Yes you do. Try to get a 256gb ssd on sale. 1080p screen, maybe 24 inches.

Here is a starting list to look at, remember that windows costs 90$ or more also. All you need to think about now is a case, 1tb drive and the keyboard, mouse and screen. Oh and ram. You dont need to buy "fast" ram. Just 8gb.

Give me a second. I'll whip up a beast

micro center also has some cheap cases too. adding led is easy there are kits (30.00) that are one meter led strips and a controler. (nxzt makes them) can led to your system if you want too.). there also ebay sellers that sell 4-9 led crimped to a 4 pin molex connector for 5-10. these led you cant turn off or dimm unless you connect then to a fan controller or buy a 4.00 molex to off switch and place a on/off switch outside your case. if your in school see if your school part of the microsoft edu program you can get office and windows at a reduced cost. some people if you have a good stero near your pc you can connect the sound card to your surround sound system at save yourself 30-50 on a set of speakers. (or you may want to buy a set of gaming head phones so you can play at night and not wake up people when your killing zombies. (parents kind of frown on using a chainsaw at 2am ). you can save some money my picking up a good micro atx mb and one good main gpu card. micro center if you have one need you runs combo deals. the last one that was posted online was mb and ib cpu they were discounting the mb by 50.00
try an stay away from the 9.00 keyboards and speakers there going to suck wind. there work but there not going to have the nice feel of a higher end keyboard. also if you can drop into a micro center they used to have large rack of return goods that were marked down.

This is the best I could get without majorly sacrifing performance. Maybe I could go lower on mouse/keyboard/speakers/monitor?

actually I may be able to find him a prebuilt for 1000. it probably would be less bang for buck. always look at cyberpower they always have good deals.

the only issue with pre builds is the under sized power supply the put in them. to put a better gpu in you have to spend another 50-100 for a larger power supply.
