Gaming PC for 1500$

OtakuMate · August 9, 2015

Hi guys, I want to ask if anyone can tell me some components for Gaming PC under 1500$ (ofc with case)
BUT I want PC that can run new games without problem on the best graphic settings, if watercooled that would be better, but dont have to be watercooling, with monitor and keyboard (Im playing more like FPS games, like CS:GO) I will be playing new games like GTA V and Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
If theres not enough money for monitor and keyboard, then without monitor and keyboard..
Thanks

Oh lord, red and green on black is hard to read.

I'll build a parts list in a minute

currency? 1080p or 1440p? you need a good monitor for these games. 1ms and 144 hertz is recommended.

1ms Response time doesn't matter. It's marketing, and impossible to tell the difference between 1ms and 5ms, or even higher

excellent build for 1080p

I haven't included peripherals as they're more of a personal choice.

no he's right. please provide sources of information that make you believe the 1ms bs.

Response time doesn't even have a standard for measuring. It's also quoted for GtG, so it's useless for anything other than that. If you can reliably tell the difference between 1ms and 5ms, I will give you my PC.

BigDay · August 9, 2015

no he's right. please provide sources of information that make you believe the 1ms bs.

you're wrong too. it's called personal experience with a 5ms ips panel and a tn panel at 1ms. you don't know what you're talking about.

SkixAces · August 9, 2015

Why do you guys even care about 1ms or 5ms. Lets say you play a game at 60fps, thats 16ms per frame. if you have a 5ms screen this means its 1/3 of a single frame you are delayed. Whats the problem

ZetZet · August 9, 2015

you're wrong too. it's called personal experience with a 5ms ips panel and a tn panel at 1ms. you don't know what you're talking about.

personal experience is 100% not reliable. what ips panel? do you know how high of an input lag the ips panel monitor have? do you know what input lag did the tn monitor have? because what you feel is input lag, not response time.

yes, response time is meaningless. Input lag is what is important. Also refresh rate.

again, you don't know what you're talking about. 1ms is the best for gaming. i would never buy anything else for gaming.

as i said before, 1ms @ 144 hertz

Oshino Shinobu · August 9, 2015

And we don't have personal experience? Or the knowledge of how response time works?

I have both IPS and 1ms monitors and I cannot tell the difference at all. It's widely accepted here that it is marketing BS.

@ZetZet does know what he's talking about, he's proved that a lot more than you have.

SkixAces · August 9, 2015

again, you don't know what you're talking about. 1ms is the best for gaming. i would never buy anything else for gaming.

So if there were 2 monitors released, the specs are the same except for the response time. The one monitor is 1ms and the other 5ms. The catch is, the 5ms is 50 euro's cheaper. Would you buy the 1ms monitor just because the numbers say it is better? I am sure you wont even notice the difference. But this is kidna off-topic, so I wont respond anymore

Good if he wants to save some money. However, I would change out the PSU to a G2 or GS series if you're going with EVGA.
