I was wondering how good a build for a thousand dollars would be?

Here is a decent build: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/7vCJKB It's $1250, but includes a full Windows 10 license (can transfer to a new mobo when upgraded; OEM licenses cannot transfer to new mobos), mouse, keyboard, 2.1 speaker system, and monitor.

[url=http://oi64.tinypic.com/5a1080.jpg]This was my first build.[/url] The video card used to be fan cooled, but when I got the cash I bought and installed a water cooler. Hella nerve racking. It was literally just a circuit board when I took it apart.

9 AntwortenI can build you one online and show you with that budget. I know quite a bit because I have built 4 now.

It depends on what you play too. Some of these new games might struggle a bit to maintain a good fps @ 1080p on higher settings at that budget, but for most things you should be fine. Some friendly advice: at least start with a pretty good motherboard that allows expansion for what you may wanna do later. That way you don't have to deal with os reinstall and swapping everything over. Z370/ 390 (if you plan on going with Intel). This also allows you to OC if you want. *note* the 390 chipset is only for 8th and 9th gen 1151 sockets for i7. I'm not sure about i5 and below. If plan on an old i7 go with a z370. Buy a good power supply. Some of these have 7-9 year warranties. Decent case allowing for expansion. The rest of the stuff you can go a little cheaper on then spend more later should you decide you want more "performance." Also, if you have Microcenter where you live, then go there. They price match with Amazon and NewEgg. They also have bundle deals. I remember getting an MSI A-Pro mobo and 8700k bundled for $380. Everything else I bought there at the same time and got additional money off that. They sold me my GPU for MSRP (the prices were still high due to mining at the time). Microcenter has a web store, but i'm not sure how the deals or pricematch are for using that.

4 AntwortenDepends on your use. An i5 would be good for anything you need, the upgrade to an i7 Is barely noticeable for games. Then, a GTX 1060 is a pretty good GPU. Then, 8GB of RAM should be enough for most things, unless heavy video editing. Once you choose these parts. Get a power supply that will run everything and have watts to spare for future upgrades. Around 700 true output should serve you well into the future. You can use PCpartpicker to find out prices and stuff.

I spent about a $900 on mine last week starting totally from scratch. I ended with a pretty good mid tier PC. I ended with something that was pretty comparable to my xbox one x. My Xbox has a higher resolution but because the PC has customizable settings you can get games to look and run great. Really for your first PC you gotta know that unless you are throwing out 2 grand or more you'll have upgrades you can make. Right now I'm going to wait another year and upgrade my graphics card from a 1050ti to a 1070 or 1080ti.
