I'll admit it, i am an Apple fan . I own every iThing: iMac, iPad, iPhone, iPod, iPoop... but I always wanted something else, something that I could have instead of an xbone or a PS4. And suddenly it hit me, that I could build a custom PC for a fraction of the price of one you can get from big manufacturers (read: Alienware). So I searched the Youtubes for help, and stumbled with LinusTechTips, and here I am, a month later with a bad ass custom gaming PC on a budget.It has the following specifications:
CPU: Intel Pentium G3258 at stock clock speed (no water cooling in stock)
MB: Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5
GFX: Gigabyte Windforce GTX 970 (I would have gone with the G1 Gaming but it was out of stock)
PSU: Corsair RM750 (for future expansion and overclocking)
Memory: 8GB of dual channel Hyper X Fury at 1600MHz
HDD: 320GB Fujitsu laptop HDD I had lying around
Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-02
OS: Windows 7 Professional (courtesy of my college)
I haven't bought monitor for it yet, but it looks good at 1080p 60Hz on my Sony HDTV.
It runs games really nicely, and I just invested around $12,000 MXN including taxes (about $820 USD).
