How I built a 3,000$ gaming pc for 1,000$
So I built my first gaming pc yesterday. Turned out really nicely actually. But, I did manage to score some incredible deals and wanted to share some of them with you guys.
[b]CPU[/b]: Intel i7 6850k - 300$ at microcenter. (Normally 700$)
[b]Motherboard[/b]: MSI x99a carbon gaming - 180$ on amazon. (Bought open box, normally retails around 250$)
[b]GPU[/b]: GTX 1060 Strix oc 6gb 260$ on eBay. (At the moment retails around 500) (Don't but gpus right now as a micro currency that has just made its way to the mainstream mining business is iacking gpu prices. I still overplayed for that card)
[b]Ram[/b]: 2x8gb TridentZ RGB ram by g.skill. (3000mhz) - Microcenter for 140$
[b]Storage[/b] - 120gb Kingston ssd (50$) 1tb sea gate hard drive (30$) (don't cheap out on getting adequate storage.) (Pro tip: Put your operating system on you ssd and games on the hard drive) -Microcenter.
[b]PSU[/b]: Thermaltake 750 watt rgb power supply (100$) - microcenter
[b]Case[/b] NZXT Razer s340 - 100$
[b]CPU Cooler[/b] NZXT Kraken x62

4 RepliesGet out of here with that cheap shit sea gate. The only people that buy seagates are the ones that want to lose all their data.

5 RepliesThe only good deal on this whole list was the CPU. This is like a $900 build with a bad CPU socket, over the top RAM, and an overpriced GPU. An i7 6/7700k would have been fine for gaming and would have allowed you to get a much cheaper motherboard.
