pricing on a gameing pc build

[onlybjc]

I'm looking to build a gaming computer and I've researched the parts and come up with a price of $1400 is this a good price or not? please help!!

 

[nikoli707]

depends on the parts.... for $1400 you can have a beast of a gaming computer.

what do you need, besides the computer, do you need windows? a monitor?

 

[onlybjc]

it includes the monitor and the os

 

[Danbuscus25]

for $1400 you can get a pc that will max out any game at 1080p, probably 1440p. what parts do you have in mind?

everyrthing looks good except the graphics card, which is very slow compaired to the rest of your build. also, that psu isnt the best, look for the XFX 550 watt or antec 620 watt.

 

[onlybjc]

ok thankyou thats very helpful

 

[Danbuscus25]

yeah, go with nikoli's build

 

[onlybjc]

[onlybjc]

[nikoli707]

the case is subjective... really what your looking for is a quality motherboard which the d3hp is, a very good quality power supply from seasonic, xfx, or antec(there are a few others out there too), and reliable hard drives with long warranties.

personally i would only get evga, sapphire, msi, gigabyte, or asus video cards.

 

[onlybjc]

thanks for all of your help ive found the parts and it is $500 cheaper than what i had before thanks again for all your help bye
