Planning to build a Gaming PC

[Basel Hamad]

Hello, i'm Planning to build a 950$ PC, please don't tell me to go up to 1000$ because the limit is $750 from my dad and i'm paying $200 more to get the best components, i'm looking for the best parts for a gaming PC components such as Motherboard - RAM - CPU - Graphics Card - Power Supply - HDD for just 950$ or Below, please i don't want any AMD Components, only intel, so what i should get component? (i want it to be a GAMING PC that can play Modern Games on ULTRA HIGH Settings at 60FPS+ on 1080P)

i already have a case for ATX and Micro ATX so there's no need to comment about the Case

Why not AMD? Intel is going to cost you a lot more for very similar specifications.

Grab this.
If you spend $27 more you can get a 1080.
Edit: Didn't see that case part, fixed.

Heya!

What's your case? and ambient temperature?


It's important we know for cooling solutions.

You could do a little bit better if you went with AMD.

@Mike3k, that MSI board isn't very good, and kind of overpriced.
You also want high frequency RAM with Ryzen, 2800 is considered to be the bare minimum, 3000MHz is acceptable and 3200 is fantastic.

 

[Mike3k24]

This board is actually really awesome. Comes with m.2, and is really easy to overclock on, also has a reinforced steel plate to prevent gpu sag

ok, so now i really see now that you guys proved me wrong, really wrong, because i was planing to get less than all these with cost of 950$, i mean WOW, i didn't expect to get a GTX 1080 gaming PC build with all these components, thanks guys, i really appreciate your help

AMD in my country are kinda bad or something because here in my country have a bad guys who thinks that intel is better than AMD, so i'm going with intel

Fans don't mean it's good cooling. What fans they are and how they are oriented affects cooling.

i don't know, there's three fans pre-installed on the case, i'm getting more 3 fans 120mm from amazon or wish.com

They're the same everywhere, Intel USED to be better because AMD didn't make CPUs, their new options are absolutely fantastic now though, three times the threads of an i5 and a far better overall choice, the i5 will be irrelevant with only 4 threads in a few years, even intel recognizes this, as their next i5s are going to be 6 thread.

Why bother coming to a forum for advice if you're going to ignore people anyway though?

well, AMD doesn't have support in my country, they don't even know what is it!! intel is very known in my country, so that's why i'm going with intel

What @OP? That doesn't make much sense..

You don't want to go with amd because there are bad guys in your country? I'm so confused lol.

not because of the bad guys, i mean, people here and gamers only likes intel, they hate AMD, there's no support for it either! i don't why, but for real, that's really stupid -_-

I plan up upgrading to Ryzen (current build is Xeon E3). But people are on them memz these days. So memes hate AMD because FX is a furnace. Great! Everyone, hate on AMD because of one single product.

AMD is good in the GPU and CPU range now, their old FX processors used to be garbage, and their 200/300 series cards were meh.
They're very competitive now, just go with what I listed above.

 

[WildCard999]

If you can afford the 1600 & B350 motherboard with a GTX 1080 its going to be your best bet for performance/price and you'll also be able to overclock both the CPU & GPU which will allow the build to last longer.

Fixed, thanks Chugalug.

 

[Chugalug_]

B350*, B250 is for intel.

What do you mean no support? Amd has drivers and all that. Games don't care what you have as a cpu as long as it's good enough to run it and does it matter if other people like intel? Just get the best thing you can get for the money now which is the 1600 and roll with it.
