$1000 Budget 1080p Gaming Build

[GreaterHeights]

Hello guys, I was just hoping I could get a little help with building a budget gaming pc for under $1000. The site I am using, since I live in Australia, is www.pccasegear.com. I am looking for decent performance, something like 60 fps on medium-high settings would be great. Intel would be my cpu of choice as the games I will most likely be playing is Arma 3 or DayZ. I will only be running a single monitor for now but may later upgrade to two, don't worry about peripherals or the os. I am upgrading so that I can dump my crappy laptop and play games at decent framerates and textures. So please I would love to see what you come up with. Thankyou.

Do you need peripherals? I'll post the build in a bit.

Eh, not really. It was ~1000€.

Just search thoroughly and you'll get good prices.

[Butterfish]

I have no idea if this works, but you get a lot of GPU for the price. Just overclock the snot out of the CPU

 

(Forgot CPU cooler)

[Rheinwasser]

The GPU will be bottlenecked by the CPU so it's not worth it IMO. I don't think 120GB will last in a Gaming PC. I've already used half of my 1TB drive with less than 10 games and some music and stuff.

[brokencross]

and 1000€ is $1300.

Sure, but we always get the bad part of it, since euro prices are not converted from dollars. So whatever costs 200$ costs 200€.

You will obviously have to overclock the snot out of the CPU. Would grab a Hyper 212 Evo to go with it.

I think even at 4.7Ghz it would still bottleneck the 290 :huh:

How come nobody ever recommends the 90% steal constructed and new...

true for phones and general consumer stuff, but computer tech doesnt really work like that.
