Question about building PC

[spawnera]

Ehm.. Good evening folks. Nice to meet all of you people who have more experience and knowledge about the personal computers than me. So yeah.. right now I'm with I have to say not really decent but not the worst PC. 6GB of ram, 2x2.8 GHZ GPU and GeForce GTS 450 video card. I'm running sadly only few of the games I'm up to play. I've been working this summer season and made a few grand so I'm planning on spending them on new PC just because I'm moving to different country and yeah.. Leaving this one to "collect" dust while I'm joying on the new one. So yeah, could you help me a bit with listing the components. I really almost have no clue how I have to start with building PC but as far as I know it is really good time and also you are not paying that much, and not at last - adding whatever you want to, as long as it can fit. I'm all about to play the new games being released lately in 2013, Battlefield 4, Fifa 14 and maybe if it is released on PC, GTA V. Also I'm running really badly the Battlefield 3, if I join in any server with high amount of people, I'm suffering of lags, my game is "moving" on pictures.. Thanks in advance and sorry for any disturbance and being really newbie in those kind of stuff. Cheers!

a good place to start would be to figure out your budget The components you choose depend on that.

[Bluejay0]

Budget. And welcome to the forums!

[CoolBeans]

 I've been working this summer season and made a few grand so I'm planning on spending them on new PC just because I'm moving to different country and yeah.. Leaving this one to "collect" dust while I'm joying on the new one.

Are you going to be spending a few grand? or only some of it? Also what country are you moving too?

[Det]

my apologies. I am new to the forums 

[spawnera]

Well. I'm able to spend atleast 3 grand for it, so I guess it is enough to build decent PC..

 

P.S: Will be buying the parts from UK. And no, I have monitor, keyboard, mouse and everything else. I just need new machine

Do you need a copy of Windows?

Fyi, you need to quote a post or tag a member or else they won't get a notification you replied to them.

3 grand is a bit much--no need to spend so much.

System's just for gaming, right? What peripherals do you already have?

No offense--I would recommend against this. The OP didn't state anything that warranted such parts--needlessly expensive ones too.

I have a friend who is installing the Windows for me always so I really have no idea but if it is needed, I will get my hands on brand new DVD for it. And yea, it is just for gaming.  I just want to run the games without having issues while doing it.. trying to alt - tab and PC freezing for 30 seconds, it's not really kind. I have Philips 190S Monitor which is my first second or third monitor, it's really cheap at the moment but I'm having good times with it and it's really nice. The keyboard is roccat and the mouse too, they are kind of new. One month old.

You should be getting a better display. No point getting a good system and a terrible display.

Any preferred color theme?

It's probably more than the 7000 series so again--there goes the budget.

true. Replace the CPU for a 4930K and we'll all be good!
