Testing / Learning / Training

[ilove64]

Hi guys, been learning about PCs for a while now and wanted to start trying making some builds on pcpartpicker just to start learning and get suggestions also so I could help others in the future.

 

I am going to make 3 lists for builds;

Build A- 500$ Budget for someone who needs a PC for gaming mostly.

Build B- 750$ For someone who wants to max out BF3, Yet also wants a quiet PC.

Build C- 1300$ For a youtuber that needs to be able to game on any game possible and needs a good editing system to edit his videos.

 

The builds I made for these 3 types of people are:

A- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1OtNB

B- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1OtZa

C- http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1Ou0y

 

Again, I'm still kinda new and want to learn, did I make good builds for what 'they' needed? Any mistakes? I'm only doing this to learn a bit, any help is thanked

It seems like you kind of cheaped out on the PSU and case in pretty much all scenarios.

First build: Looks good

Second build: Should either get a locked processor or gone with a Z77 board and swap out the 760 with a 7950 also would have gone with a 500W+ PSU.

Third build: Too much RAM and trashy power supply.

As a general piece of advice, don't cheap out on a PSU. A good one will outlast your computer (I've got a few lying around that go back almost 10 years). A bad one risks killing your whole system, cheap power supplies also tend to be louder and less efficient, not to mention the fact that over time all power supplies degrade so if you get a PSU that just barely runs your system in a year or two it wont even do that.

Yes I agree 32g of RAM is a little over board go with 16g of RAM. Check out this video for how much RAM you actually need for gaming. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrrTkbyjDHk                                  And get like a gold rated 700w power supply.
