I want a powerful gaming build but dont want to spend any more than 1000 dollars, can yall help?

[Glorious123]

I would like to build my own pc but I dont have the time to research all the parts I need. I would like to spend 1000 maximum and of course any lower and thats cool too. If you all have any good suggestions, I would be very grateful.

I like that but the psu is overpriced and 150watts over powered.

Then get this PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153172&Tpk=thermaltake%20smart%20series%20550w

It`s a 550w PSU ( 750-150=550 😀 ) and the cost is 49.99 $ .

They are not even in the same universe. The thermaltake is something I would put in an amd 2 module ebay rig for my mum. If I found it at a car boot sale for a $, that is. I wouldnt buy it otherwise.

Well you wanted a less pricey and 150 W less power PSU.
I gave you the best gaming rig for 1000 $. ( 926 $ )

I am sorry if you dont like it.

PS: I found the same PSU i gave you in the first post for 79.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153174

Its a great rig, but you cant drop to $50 on the psu in a 1000 $ build. The seasonic is just pokey enough for small sli,or one huge card and its very well made. Trustworthy. Thermaltake arent. Not with that money, anyway.

I wouldnt trust thermaltake with 700 $ worth or components. end of story.

If you like it that way,you do it that way .
( The 50$ save is ok 😀 )

I hope it helped you.
