Case – Rosewill REDBONE ATX Mid Tower
Processor – Intel Core i5-4460 Quad-Core
Motherboard – ASRock Micro ATX DDR3 1600 LGA 1150
Video Card – Gigabyte GTX 960 Overclocked 2GB
RAM – Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Single
Power Supply – EVGA 500W
Hard Drive – Seagate 1TB
CD Drive – Asus 24x DVD-RW

That build looks pretty good, I would suggest a 550w power supply as it will not restrict you on future upgrades. A 500w will not be enough for the highest end graphics cards. Other then that you will be able to play pretty much any game at 1080p, high-ultra settings with a solid 60+ fps.

Awesome thank u for the quick response I'm hoping to order the parts here in a week or 2 is there a web sit by chance that looks kinda at multiple site to see what the cheapest to buy from. if not ill get off amazon.

 

[Samsamproducts]

pcpartpicker.com is what you are looking for. It shows all the cheapest prices for a bunch of retailers for pretty much all the products they carry.

 

[Billy_13]

I noticed its a small motherboard too any chance u can give me a idea of a bit bigger one or will that one be fine for upgrades later.

 

[Samsamproducts]

If you are interested in overclocking then you need to get a K series CPU and a z97 motherboard. If you don't want to overclock, get an h97 motherboard that is not micro atx... I reccommend getting one by gigabyte, asus, asrock, or msi.

 

[Billy_13]

by chance can u set a build for 650 at max an post it here if its not a problem. if not its cool.

This build will let you play pretty much any game at 1080p, high-ultra settings. Things like RAM, HDD, and Case dont matter too much as far as brands go, so just get whats cheapest on the website you are ordering from. (The case should just be one you like the look of).

 

[Billy_13]

thx a lot with the build help I think ima go with that. is there room for upgrades later down the road. an on ur post the ram is different then in pc part list thing I like corsair should I go with it.

 

[Samsamproducts]

IMO ram is ram, as long as you get 8gb it won't really matter what brand it is in gaming. Get corsair if you would like it, it will work exactly the same. That is just the cheapest kit for sale currently.

 

[Billy_13]

ok yea because tmr I get paid an I want to buy all parts at once I take it I have to buy parts one by one unless there on the same site.

 

[Billy_13]

what windows do u think I should buy I'm think 8 or 7

 

[Billy_13]

an my price list when I click ur parts list u made me I get a smaller total of 579. 99

 

[Billy_13]

an will I need anything like thermal paste or does all that come with parts. sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to get everything in order before ordering tmr

 

[Billy_13]

onemore thing how do I get windows on it without a cd drive

 

[Samsamproducts]

you can burn it to a USB stick on another computer then install it just like from a DVD.

You can use this program to put it on the USB, https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/windows-usb-dvd-download-tool.

You will need to download the ISO for the version of windows you are running and then get it on the USB with that.

here is what I would suggest for that price range..
