Help with Build

[seun97]

I need help with a PC build. Would anyone mind setting up a build for me that is right at $850 (nothing over $900 please)? Please have all pieces be compatible. I would specifically prefer this exact case:Nzxt - Phantom 410 Atx/micro Atx/mini-itx Mid-tower Case - Black.

The games I want to play on max settings smoothly are: Alliance of Valiant Arms, Counter Strike: Global Offensive and possibly Battlefield in the near future.

I would love for the build to be somewhat portable for me to transport back and forth from school to home.

I hope all the information provided suffices. Thank you in advance.

Does price need to include OS.

 

[seun97]

No, that can go under the part where I mentioned no more than $900. I think I would like to stick with Windows 7 64 bit

Here's a start, if I understand you correctly. Do you need a monitor? Do you need the keyboard?

I think he wants it without all the rebates.

I think he wants it without all the rebates.

I'm not sure either, but I can tune it when the OP gest back to me.

 

[seun97]

That build seems nice, I really like how you were able to get the keyboard and mouse as a bundle. To answer you on the monitor, I really need a new monitor that is great for the price but I still do not want to go over $900.

 

[DonkeyOatie]

Pushing the limits.

Your case is using nearly 10% or your budget. I would consider a cheaper case, near $50.

 

[seun97]

Thank you so much!

But if u chose to change my case to something cheaper with the similar style to the nzxt case, do you think we could have the monitor or graphics buffed?

 

[DonkeyOatie]

The $30 saved would improve either of those. Have a look and see if you can find a good case for you. Cases are such a personal choice. PCPartPicker will allow you to search around for something.

 

[seun97]

Okay, will do. And one more thing. Will I be able to have access to the internet with this build?

 

[DonkeyOatie]

All modern motherboards have a wired high-speed Internet connection. If you also need WiFi, that's an upgrade too, $20 or so.

 

[seun97]

Okay. Also, do I need a CPU cooler?

 

[DonkeyOatie]

Need, no. The stock cooler is quite stout and reasonably quiet as well. I would not get one unless it became necessary. At school we use stock coolers on all non-overclocked systems, and have had no problems (so far, ask me in a couple of years )
