Everyone is telling me "Oh I got my custom build for 300" I need a site with that capability.
And I need to know what not to go below because currently this laptop is pissing me off and I am seriously wanting a custom built desktop computer so I can start playing games for once.
I will always be here, my nephew will take my place when I am gone O_O |

I have 1k but I am not going above 500 because the rest is probably a date+an anniversary present and then gas money.
This is my like one thing I am going to spend big on me this year.

I want to be able to play games simply without issue I am not looking for "godly graphics" I am looking to play a game on low quality or medium maybe maybe and be able to run it smoothly enough I am not skipping every where and the characters reaction time is worth nothing. |

Pyrante's build won't work well. Way too imbalanced.

The most important parts are processor and graphics card. Power supply, RAM, hard drive, motherboard, and the other stuff is also important but the core parts to a gaming PC are the ones I mentioned first. You should definitely have 8+ GB of RAM.

I was probably going to up the ram by a lot more then 8. If I can afford it. |

I use 8 GB and almost never encounter problems, because I have a pretty strong processor. you got skype or steam, it'd be easier to communicate that way.

get 8GB of ram
right now you can skimp on lower end graphics card and upgrade later so maybe get r9 260 (sorry don't know if that's a good card)
make sure mother board has one PCI-E slot and you're good
make sure you get a big computer case, again this lets you upgrade graphics card later
getting a good CPU is sort of a high priority too because it's the worst part to upgrade so I recommend i5. I personally have i5 3570 and I'm sure it'd be good for you too.
PSU should be good at 500 but again, you can upgrade that later if you need more power |

It works for me.
You just need the other parts to be compatible.

also I can't recommend an SSD enough for how amazing it is
you just need to get it for your operating system and then you can get a secondary hard drive but the SSD allows computer to boot up from completely off to the internet within 10-20 seconds |

I am going to go back through and probably get lower stuff. Correct me on anything that I need to up and anything that needs to be changed out and give me a suggestion for replacing the part.

8GB of ram is all you need
you can cut down on hard drive size too but each GB is pretty cheap so up to you
and 290 is a powerful card so you can cut down on that too. I used to have a 290 and it was getting max FPS on nearly every game but that was like a year ago.
I'm a little concerned about PSU not being enough wattage though since AMD CPUs and GPUs used a lot of power. Last I recall the 290 needed at least 300 so you'd be cutting it really close with the 290. |

if you want to steam/skype me i can help you

Pyrante why are you recommending i3's? i3's are potatoes |

I recently bought a gaming PC and for some reason it has 32gb of ram
Like who df is ever going to need that |
|
|
yo steam, I'll make you a good computer

^^^ you can switch out the GPU for a 660 ti if you want to reduce the price
but thats ultimately the best for its price |
|
|
why'd you spend so much on the case killer |
|
|
and for the love of god just pirate windows wtf killer |
|
|
idk what PSU to get, but heaven forbid, DO NOT cheap out on the PSU. The last thing you need is the risk of fire, data loss, etc. |
