$600-$700

[munka]

Hello fellow computer homies. I want to build a 600 - 700 dollar computer for mainly gaming. (League of Legends, Hearthstone, maybe some titan fall) 

I was planning on building Linus' AMD ultimate value APU build but I was going to check here first to see if anyone could find maybe a more powerful, but around the same price comp. I would really appreciate it if you could help me out!

Here far better. I migth have overspend on the storage tho. (But i don't feel like 1 tb for an hdd is enough and i don't feel like 120gb for an ssd is enough.) Also this migth be overkill for you as this plays bf4 on ultra with 45- 50 fps.

Which video card is more powerful? the 660 or the 750?

The 660 but a r9 270 kills both of them.

What kind of dollars are you using? Is a copy of Windows or any peripherals needed as well?

[Kiwiandapple]

If you are from the US. Then this is something I would have a look at. If not, please tell where you are from!

I made a small box, will kick some small butts. I can change this a lot.. 

We can get a bigger motherboard and case, I think I can get you a better GPU as well.. but well I tried to keep the budget in place.

 

As well I assume you are in no need for peripherals and OS?

Do you need an OS (windows) and monitor, keyboard and mouse? 

And no problem! 

 

Edit; as well, do you care about the size of the PC? I just used the CoolerMaster Elite 110 because I think it's an awesome case and it's not that expensive. But if you want something bigger, that's possible.

Oke, pretty important to list all this information when you come here and ask for help. The more information you give, the better we can help. 

I did my bloody best to keep it in the budget, but.. Was hard! 

I picked this monitor simply because it's IPS and 1080. As well Dell make very good monitors.

I have to go sleep now, but this forum is awesome and people can/will edit my build - if they see any imperfections or something that they think can be done better!

Thanks so much!

 

No problem! Let other people have a look and look at their suggestions before you buy!  

As well, once you go IPS you don't want to go back! :]
