I am not really experienced with computers, so i'm sorry if my terms aren't as professional. 

 

So I built myself a computer a few months ago but it was really expensive and now my friend wants a really good budget build to run games at a decent fps.

 

I just made this build on pcpartpicker but I'll list out the items that I chose.

 

CPU: i7-4790k

CPU Cooler: Corsair H100i Liquid Cooler

MOBO: Asus Z97-A

Memory: Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x8GB

Storage: Kingston V300 120GB SSD                  Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5"

Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 750 Ti 2GB Superclocked

Case: NZXT Phantom 410 Mid-Tower White Version

PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650 Watt Gold Fully Modular

 

This build totals around 1200$~

 

PS: Are wireless adapters required to connect to wifi on this build?

 

 

Specs: i7-4790k with Thermaltake Water 3.0, EVGA GTX 970, MSI Z97 Gaming 3, Kingston HyperX 2x8 DDR3 1600Mhz, SSD Boot Drive/1TB HD, CM Storm Stryker, EVGA Supernova G2 750W

not a good build for gaming. You don't need 16 gigs of ram. Get an i5, and a GTX 970.

 

and no u dont need a wireless adapter. I highly recommend using an ethernet cable

You are not going anywhere with that build. To be honest, that is a low-end gaming build. And you dont need 16 GB of RAM.
