PC Build

[cocolopez]

Hi guys, 

 

I´m from argentina.

Here we have a great trouble with costs. We have huge taxes and also sellers take advantage of the import restrictions. So I´ve been trying to buy a decent gaming PC with the less cash possible.

 

This are the stores near me so you can take a look:

http://marstech.com.ar/sitio/html/

 

as you will see there is old and expensive hardware.

 

I´ld like to hear what setup you suggest.

Budget?

Budget?

 

Really can´t say.

I´d like to spend less than $500 (in argentinian money that is around $5000), wich you will see is pretty difficult.

The first setup is designed to give you best performance while saving you some money. It wont run games at beastly FPS, but it will work pretty ok.

The second setup will run most modern games at 60FPS or higher at 1080p. Alternatively, if you can stretch your budget a little, you could go with an i3 for an even better experience, but that would easily add another 50-60 USD onto the pricetag.

from me country I can buy abroad. Customs won´t let you recive it.

That´s why I offer some local options.

 

otherwise both builds are very nice.
