Pc build help for gaming

TechyNoob · June 26, 2015

Hi, lately i've been researching computer builds for a pc I've been desperately wanting. I'm a bit young, and this will be my very first computer build and I would like tips on what to buy and where or the best time to buy it. Right now I'm looking for something around 600 to 800 dollars and I don't know that much about compatibility and whats the best for what I'm looking for. So the games that I would be looking to play on this pc with the budget I have is Gta 5, Battlefield 4, and Rust. I do have a setup picked out, but if you could recommend your own setup that worked it'd be great, and even maybe show me another setup that is better than mine. So my setup below this is what I've picked out.If you have any tips or suggestions on what better cores are or better graphics cards are, please leave a comment. Thanks for taking the time to read about this and help me, here's my setup.

so far it seems good. that cpu means you wont be wasting money on power you dont need, and the 280x is pretty good bang for the buck. If you can find 290's cheap due to the new 300 series, then it will be a nice upgrade over the current 280x, and the prices for a r9 380 is not much higher than your current card, so that might be worth a look...
