Posted June 11, 2013 System 1 offers the best value. System 3 has the best performance. System 4 would be the best system you could buy.

Posted June 11, 2013 Okay and which processor would U choose?? If you got the money for it, might as well get the i7-4770. Seems like you have no restrictions here!

Posted June 11, 2013 for gaming i would chose system 5 If you got the money for it, might as well get the i7-4770. Seems like you have no restrictions here! basically exactly waht they said. If you have the money go for 4770k but if not 4670k would work fine.

Posted June 12, 2013 If you have the money, go for # 4. That way you will be future proof for a wile and also get the i7.

Posted June 12, 2013 As far as i can tell number 5 is the best option.. the 700W psu would help if you ever want to upgrade the system in the future. Also Asus's Direct CUII cooler and Digi + VRAM is an improvement over system 4. How much more expensive is System 5 than system 4?

Posted June 14, 2013 I'm not sure what your budget is but if you want to play more intensive games, you want to pour more money into the gpu. Haswell isn't the best price/performance for gaming right now because of motherboards and cpus being at a premium. Going with ivy will save you money. Here's what I recommend(roughly): CPU: Cheapest ivy bridge i5 (3470 if it's not that much more than the 3350P) MOBO: Cheapest B75 Board you can get. Just pick atx or micro a depending on your case choice. RAM: Cheapest 2x4GB or 2x8GB CL9 1600/1866 ram. GPU: Cheapest 7950/Variation of 7870 you can find. PSU: 600w bronze/cheap 650w bronze is possible for 7950 but 600w is still fine. SSD: Samsung 840 120GB HDD: Cheapest 1 or 2TB 7200rpm drive. Probably WD Blue or Seagate Barracuda Case: Case of your liking with usb 3.0 If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

Posted June 16, 2013 Author But I gotta say that I'm buying one of this system, and going to upgrade in the further (are playing on a laptop, so REALLY need a gaming system). So what I wonna know is which system I should buy to get the best "base" for a Great Gaming system. And by the way, I'm going to play battlefield, call of duty, starcraft and other games like that, I'm also going to record and edit gameplay videos. So which system do guys think will give me the best start on a system?

Posted June 16, 2013 So for Gaming, which should I buy? For gaming, the main things are the CPU and GPU. Secondary consideration is the amount of RAM and the power supply. For RAM: 8Gigs is enough, but more doesn't hurt. You won't really notice any benefit from going beyond DDR3-1600 For a power supply you want one large enough to handle the video card you choose. 500watts is usually enough, but more won't hurt - but there's no real need to go beyond 650-750 watts. For CPU - the Hyperthreading of the 4770 is not needed for gaming, or much else unless you run some heavily threaded apps. So the 4670K is the "sweet spot" For GPU - get the biggest baddest one you can afford, but keep in mind that you'd never need more than a GTX-770 for a single 1920x1080 monitor. For Motherboard - if you plan to overclock, get a Z87 based board. If you don't plan to overclock, make sure that anything else you might get, such as a B87 board, has the features you want. A sieve may not hold water, but it will hold another sieve. i5-6600, 16Gigs, ITX Corsair 250D, R9 390, 120Gig M.2 boot, 500Gig SATA SSD, no HDD Link to comment https://linustechtips.com/topic/25497-which-gaming-system/#findComment-341839 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, for the GPU: it is better to go for a cheaper, non-overclocked version than going for a pre-overclocked variant. It will cost you less and you can do the overclocking yourself, which is the fun part :) New to Star Citizen? Look no further!
