Ok so i've been having a really bad computer for 3 years now and i want to change it as soon as possible.

Im not very good with computers parts so i wanted to ask you guys, can you help me building a cheap GAMING computer ?

 

I already looked at some websites but the information was pretty old and i want all recent stuff in my computer.

 

My budget is pretty low : 800 $ 

 

i know im asking a lot but i've been searching for about 3 weeks now and i haven't found something yet, like i said all the stuff was pretty old. Maybe im just bad at looking trought the internet :P

 

Anyway, like i said, i was a GAMING computer, and i want to stream ( on twitch ) with it.

 

Thanks to everyone who helps me !

1. 7950 - Newegg - $200

2. 7850 - Newegg - $104 -- same price as msi 7770. I paid 140.

 

You understand this? Need more help. These are just some simple suggestions.

 

Do you have a reliable desk, key, mouse, pad, monitor, OS?

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.

Thanks to everyone who helps me !

$800 is actually quite large for a budget build, you can do a build like kill your console or I'll make a build up off my head.  

 

Here: (all build include a full license of windows 7 64bit OEM)

 

$800 build ($804 really :P) http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1VQOL    

This is using: 

AMD FX 8120 - more cores, means it can handle more of a thrash, and streaming is that its overclockable too. 

 

Hyper 212 EVO CPU cooler by Cooler Master - great cpu cooler for the price, it will keep your cpu cool and allow for some overclocking

 

Asus M5A97 LE R2.0 Motherboard - great reviews, cheap for an Asus motherboard, supports all your components and allows upgrades

 

Adata XPG Gaming Series 1600mhz 8GB - 8GB is the gaming sweet spot and 1600mhz will do it well! this is gaming grade ram!

 

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm drive - this is a great best bang for your buck drive and it also gives you plenty of storage and you can upgrade to an SSD in the future

 

Asus Radeon 7870 GHZ edition Graphics card - great graphics card, can handle most games on at least medium, really nice and cool!

 

Cooler Master CM Storm Enforcer Case - great case for the money, supports big graphics cards, water coolers, SSDs and has USB 3.0 support and looks awesome too!

 

Corsair CX 600w Power Supply - this is used allot in budget builds and provides good wattage and has 80+ bronze so its not total crap

 

Asus DVDrw drive - really cheap, not needed but its super cheap and handy for when you need it, makes installing windows easier

 

Microsoft Windows Home premium 64bit OEM - Windows 7 is still a great OS and its cheaper than others. Making it a solid choice!

 

If you want to spend more, heres a $1000 Intel build if you prefer, as well as higher end components.http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1VQJ4

 

this build has:

Intel core i5 3570k - overclockable and still one of the most popular gaming CPUs to date! made by intel and includes all thier support for 3rd gen its got 4 cores and 4 threads, however its about the same in the way of gaming compared to the AMD FX 8120.

 

Cooler Master hyper 212 evo - great cpu cooler for the price, keeps cpu really cool

 

Asus P8Z77 V LE Motherboard - this is the most popular motherboard lineup for intel gamers as far as I know and the LE version contains all of the main features of the lineup for a good price!

 

Adata XPG Gaming RAM 8GB - 8GB is the sweet spot and 1600mhz RAM will be totally enough speed for games and is the sweet spot!

 

Seagate Barracuda 1TB 7200rpm - still a great HDD for the price and contains allot of storage, you can upgrade to an SSD later on.  But for now this is a great drive

 

Asus Radeon 7950 3GB Graphics card - this should handle games like a breeze! 3GB of GDDR5 is more than enough for a single 1080p monitor and this will also keep nice a cool!

 

Cooler Master CM Storm Enforcer Case - great case, looks good, premium quality and just overall a great buy

 

Silverstone 550w 80+ Gold - Silverstone is a top power supply manufacturer and this is no exception, 550w is enough and 80+ Gold means it will be super efficient and stable!

 

Asus DVD rw drive - still good to have an optical drive if you ever need it

 

Windows 7 Home premium 64bit OEM - Windows 7 RULES!

Mate! Stability! some of your parts are great, but 1333mhz isn't very good, you can buy better.  Cheap motherboards fail and it is our priority to recommend top quality parts so users can trust us and we can please them.  An 8320 is not needed, its good for streaming but all you really need is 6 cores and the ability to over clock to a great clock if needs be.  Just my opinion, however its your opinion and I totally respect that :)

Ohh wow thanks guys, that was fast xD I'll look trought this !

What kind of games are you planning on playing?

Btw, it's likely you can just upgrade your system and save some money on a few parts that don't need replacing. 

 

Mind listing the specs of your system (all the parts please) 

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

If you ever need help with a build, read the following before posting: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/3061-build-plan-thread-recommendations-please-read-before-posting/
Also, make sure to quote a post or tag a member when replying or else they won't get a notification that you replied to them.

Here you go: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1W3BX

Reuse your hdd. 

This will max out almost everything at 1080p.

I think's upset about the terrible video card lol--not at us.

He's just wondering about whether or not the parts we suggest would work fine with what he already has.
