Back to the dad build

[justin199433]

So, i was going to build a PC for 500$ so i could just buy it all at once. but for the gaming i want to do on the weekends it seems like it would have a hard time. so i have gotten a new plan. i have 100 dollars a month to work with for 12 months. the deal is that when my wife reads positive for the second baby i am allowed to start making payments. so what can i get for $1200 through amazon that i can make payments on. also if you have any ideas of where else to finance a PC for 12 months with little to no interest that would be awesome as well.

No clue on financing for computer parts but Alienware certainly has monthly payments! But Alienware is complete shit so no.

this is a build. alienware lost me when dell took over. i don't want a brand.

NEW this can also include a part for part build that i can buy parts can be more then 100 dollars just means it would take more then 1 month to buy that part.

First off, welcome. Second off don't forget to follow your own threads @junstin199433.

 

Lastly, in my personal opinion you would be better off just waiting instead of trying to finance it and having to pay more money over time. (Thats my personal opinion. I think loans are stupid and don't particularlyever suggest anyone get one.

i would just build a APU build and get a 1366x768 or 1600x900 monitor for it. Sure, 1080p would be nicer, but aslong as the monitor matches the resolution you play on, the image will look good. At the resolutions i mentioned, a APU setup will cost you 550 USD, including OS and monitor.

For casual gaming, that is probably one of the best setups you can get.

 

If you want a serious rig. then i5 + R9 390 is your best bet

If you want to buy one part at a time, I would go Case (1 month), PSU (1mo), RAM + CPU cooler (1mo), MOBO (1.5mo), CPU (2.5mo), at this point you can test for post, storage (1-2mo, depending), GPU (3-4mo).

 

Cases can't really be broken without you noticing, so buying it a year early shouldn't be a problem

You may be able to test a PSU early too, I think it shouldn't be doa eather

RAM also shouldn't be doa but maybe you can test somehow and CPU coolers probably almost never are

MOBO is probably the riskiest, so maybe wait until you can get CPU+MOBO together

At this point you have a computer and the last 5 months are spent turning it into a more usable one and one that plays games. I guess you can find a used hdd somewhwere and use it for browsing after 7 months.

 

I think this lets you get skylake (just make sure to get ddr4 when you buy ram), and the GPU will be bought in about a year, so I would guess nVidia would be rolling out their new stuff by then, and potentially AMD too although that makes their gen pretty short so I am not sure.
