Computer Build

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

Aight As you know I am very young and I need help, I will be building a Boson gaming PC and need some help for a grapics card. I want a good grapics card but not that expensive, I will accept any grapics card from any company as long as it has good reviews and does not break down quickly. Remeber I am only 12 and I am building a BOSON PC search it on youtube if you do not know what it is. You will read this and probably not help because I am very young.. I hope you do not do that.

The Boson isn't all that powerful but anyways.

 

The cheapest R7 260X from a reputable brand is a great choice on a budget.

How much do you have left in your budget? And what have you got so far?

[zlolslavez]

Hello and welcome to the forum! Are you in the $300 price range in US like this video? If you are then a R7 260X is probably the best card at that range. Look around a bit (or at other posts) to see what kind. Keep in mind that $300 price does not include some things, such as an operating system. It is your decision on whether you need to get a weaker computer to fit in a merchant bought operating system, or buy it second hand.

I'd highly recommend against building the Boson build, considering if you look into the used market more can be had for the money. In your budget, you should be able to get a Core 2 Quad Q6600 and R9 270, which should be able to push most games at 1080p High settings.

 

However, if you can't, just try to get an R9 270 used. It will bottleneck, but you have a better GPU for the future.

Remember I do not have much money. Your reply was quick tho

How much money do you have? (Along with a location (country) so we can provide you with a suggested build similar to the Boson's specifications)

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

50-70$ and everything a boson has.

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

For the people that say don't build a boson I would like to know another build that is more powerful and almost the same budget.

I would recommend a EVGA GeForce GT 730 for $70 on Amazon.

I love your little thing that says Don't buy razer products because thats true I bought a deathadder and it broke after a week of normal use

I have about 400$ to spend not including the graphics card and I would like a step by step tutorial on how to build it please  and I live in the US

I wouldn't as there are cards that are $30-$50 dollars more that run cirlces around it. (Literally at least x3 times better for 50% more price)

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

Would a PNY GeForce GT 730 1GB GDDR5 Graphics Cards VCGGT7301D5LXPB be any good?

[STRMfrmXMN]

Haha, I never recommend the keyboards. I would the mice with an extended warranty though, but only the Deathadder.

no

Yes, that is true, but his budget for the GPU is $50-$70.

well I kinda lied my deathadder broke cause my brother got mad and threw a baseball bat at my desk

Is an operating system included in this budget?

[JackTheYoungBuilder]

Yes If I think I know what that sentence means but yeah it does.

[STRMfrmXMN]

If it's still under warranty then you should contact Razer to see if they can refund you or send you a new one.

I'm sorry but that card costs too much I would get something from the Gtx line if I had that much to spend, Remember I am only 12

[STRMfrmXMN]

Yes If I think I know what that sentence means but yeah it does.

If you're broke now you can always install some distro of Linux until you can afford Windows for games. Minecraft, for example, is available on major distros like Mint and Ubuntu if that's your thing.

If you watch Linus' video on low end graphics cards, you'll know that he HATES them.

Save up a couple of bucks and buy a more expensive PC that's closer to $500, so it won't bottleneck an HD 7770, GTX 750Ti, or r7 260 (my GPU recommendations if you're dead set on Austin's Boson). You'll easily double the performance and get something that works well as a PC rather than some silicon thrown together.

If you really can't save any money, then wait a couple years. It's not worth wasting $300 now and not being able to use that $300 in the future to upgrade.

 

I wish you all the best in PC building for such a young guy and hope that this helps
