Building A Gaming PC

fireandy500 · February 6, 2019

So I have been on the forum once before to see what people thought of my build. I put some more thought into it and just wanted to see if people had any recommendations on my parts choices. My budget is around 800 bucks and I already have all the peripherals, as well as a windows install disc. I plan on playing games such as Monster Hunter World, Destiny 2, League of Legends and Rocket League all of which will be on a 1080p 60hz monitor. I'm looking to get back into streaming and wanted to be sure that this computer can handle it. This will also be my first PC build so any tips will be greatly appreciated. I'm also going to be ordering everything from amazon since I don't want to worry about all the rebates and such.

Looks good my friend. I would personally pay a bit more and go for a gold PSU and about 500watts. No need for 600watts as your usage while gaming will be 300 watts to 400watts maximum which is rare with your config and what not.

So other than a 80+ gold I should be all set. Something I am not sure about is the cables to hook everything up. Would I need to buy any extra for my extra hard drive or would that all come with the power supply/ motherboard

The PSU will come with all power cables. As for SATA cables it comes with the motherboard and most hard drives, so no worries.
