PC building advice thread
I know none of you probably want to help, but I'm building a PC. Trying to keep the budget under a thousand dollars but keeping my GPU performance relatively high is probably my biggest concern. Right now I have a build that's over a thousand but seems to fit very well otherwise, I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions to cut back on the cost. The build is [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2d9Wk]here[/url] (hopefully the link works)
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Please note that I already have a monitor, mouse pad, and mouse.
EDIT: Fixed the RAM, should run at an appropriate voltage.
EDIT: Fixed up my build, cut about $200 off :D
EDIT: TopWargamer has provided a good build [url=http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2d8KG]here[/url]. It looks good but I'm probably leaning towards a modular PSU to help with cable management.

6 RisposteI'd get the [url=http://www.amazon.com/Asus-Radeon-4DisplayPort-PCI-Express-R9280X-DC2T-3GD5-V2/dp/B00FT2KSVK]R9 280x[/url] instead.

1 RispondiYou could save a couple bucks by swap down to a smaller capacity SSD, if all you're going to do with it is put on Windows, Office, etc. If you plan on installing some games there, then keep your choice.

7 RisposteI was thinking of putting together a PC, but all this sounds really complicated. Is putting one together as difficult as this thread is making it seem?

1 RispondiA sexy stencil on the case would be good.
-
2 RisposteA cheaper case, motherboard, and processor may be necessary. Also a 600 or possibly even 500W PSU should work fine for your build.
-
8 RisposteDuct tape? Seriously use duct tape instead of a case. It would totally work.

3 RisposteModificato da Bandi: 12/2/2013 4:04:46 AMFind a slightly cheaper mobo and get a case that prioritizes cable management and you'll probably cut $125 right there Try getting the OS for free... yeah good luck with that You don't really need the optical drive since Steam's all downloads and even the newest Office Suite is all digital, but if you want one, get one that's cheaper than that, you don't need Blu-Ray You'll only need the aftermarket cooler if you're overclocking, if not, scrap it Edit: Doubt you'll need a gaming keyboard, too

2 RisposteOptical drives are basically useless at this point, if you have another computer, you could boot up, and install windows onto your new hard drive with that one, and save money on that. Or you could just as easily find an ISO file and boot it up from a flash drive, or external HDD, and only need a copy of windows for the activation key.

3 RisposteDon't waste your money on a case. A cardboard box will do. ;)
