I'm running out of ideas...PC!

Recommended Posts

God, i'm running out of ideas as to what to post on this forum.So, i've decided to come here, and fall back to my plan B: my love for PCs!

Tech geeks and PC masters alike, gather around, i need ya' right now.

I've been thinking of getting a budget 1080p gaming PC.No, this is not gonna be somekind of multi-thousand dollar 4K killer, 4 Titan Xs, a 5960X blah, blah, blah.

I have very limited amount of money on my side.And so i looked around the net, and saw this particular part list.It fit my budget surprisingly well, and i did some research on all of the individual parts.So, it should be ok for my purposes, but i need your opinions, what do you think?

I recommend posting here:

Overall I would switch to an intel mobo, maybe go for a i5-4460 or something, and swap out the gpu for a r9 280 (if you can still get one, not the refrence design) or r9 380. Could also use a better PSU, pick one from here: http://i.imgur.com/tgrbCnr.jpg

Looks like a very affordable PC to me!

I might look into building a PC of my own again after seeing this.

Though I'm not so keen on the AMD. I've had bad experience with them in the past. Of course, it would be less affordable if an Intel was dropped in there.

I was going to recommend a 4460k! Coincedence or is it very good?

4460 is very good for an awesome gaming machine without breaking the bank. I didn't say K because it adds more cost, and I don't know if OP wants to OC. If he did, he would also need a more expensive mobo (there's H81 and Z81 I believe, with the Z for OCing) aswell as a cooler.
