Around 650 Gaming PC

[MattTheMayor]

Hello. I'm looking for a builds list for a gaming pc around the 700 range. I'll usually use this PC for schoolwork, but whenever I get the free time I am definitely using it as a gaming beast.

 

Live in the US

 

What I need in the PC:

 

Easy to build in case

Can run most games (playing BF3, CS:GO, and such)

Quiet?

A copy of Windows 8.1

 

Cheers <3

You'd be better off saving up and buying it all at once since newer stuff might come out by the time you end up with a fully operational computer, plus prices will likely trend downwards.

Would do that, but I can't haha. This laptop is at it's death bed right now. Crashing and overheating. 2GB of RAM, Intel Celeron at 1.2Ghz and a 200 GB HDD. Really can't do anything about it

you can't use a computer thats not complete either. You could also have stuff shipped to you constantly.

Well in that case, I might take the last months of this computer to save up. What I might do is just whenever I have the money to buy 1 component, I'll buy it and go towards that way. Opinions?

save up until you can buy all the parts at once

Just save up buy it all at once easy as that. Not sure of your age, but if my current PC was failing, it'd be time to use the credit card and pay it back. That being said, I have the money to pay stuff back. If not, I do not know what to tell you.

Ooo. Looks really good and it's not full of 100 dollars worth of mail-in rebates (aka money I'll lose) like my last build list. Thank you so much!
