PC Build Help

[lake12]

 I am looking for a INTEL gaming pc build. I want to use 2 monitors but want to play games in 1080P on both monitors. The PC should be run the games on 1080P for minimum 3 years. I want to keep the build as cheap as possible. My monitor budget is separate.

 

I am in CANADA

 

Please help

 

Thanks in advance.

It's a bit expensive, but you didn't have a budget posted, so I just took it at face value. How much are you willing to spend?

Good looking build, and it's not too expensive. I was expecting it to be $1200 or something.

Nah son, that's ridiculous for a build that's supposed to be cheap. Although tbh I should probably take the shit Toshiba HDD out of the build I suggested, those things are trash.

You said "It's a bit expensive...." so I was expecting it to be a good amount of $$$. $800 is pretty good for a dual monitor (Basically 2K?) gaming rig.

So running it like it's one monitor? Like in a surround gaming setup, but with two screens instead of 3+?

You might want a more RAM but other than that I'm happy with this suggestion.

True.

 

Also I did a Ryzen variant of the same build in case he wants to do streaming/video editing shit: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/rLKxQV

I got the bare minimum, seeing as he wanted it to be cheap. But if he wants to get 16gb, he can edit the build to his liking.

Also, as a owner of that case, I will say it's most adequate even if it seems exceptionally cheap.
This only downside I had was that you can't top mount a 240mm RAD and the dust filter is easily removed and cleaned.

Correction: You can top mount a 240mm RAD but it'll be outside the case.

An ultrawide monitor would prove to be of better benefit, if you're tight on budget you can make a rx580 + 29UM68-P, I own two of these screens and I can assure you they are awesome, beautiful image quality, IPS, you can have 75hz with FreeSync using the rx580... 2560x1080p sweet spot is 29inch, the pixel density is amazing.

 

Ultrawides are the best thing when comes down to gaming in my opinion and nowadays with the support getting bigger and bigger I can't see why not take your chances with the 21:9 ratio.

Though I would get at least a 144hz for that res but 100hz is the lowest I would ever go

This is VERY similar to the build I just did and I think it would do the job nicely. I went with a WD Blue for my HDD and Crucial MX300 for the SSD, and with a slightly higher budget got an AsRock H270 Pro4 mobo, Corsair 270R case, Corsair Vengeance Ram, but got a lesser PSU which is a EVGA 600B. 

 

Those are really all just slight variances in the build you suggested, which I think will fit OP's needs nicely if he sticks with your suggestion.

Honestly refresh rates are a subjective thing, the bottom line is simply try getting anything above 60hz, how above depends on how much you actually need or care for, CS:GO hardcore players will definitely need more hz, meanwhile those who rather play slower paced games, single player campaign and what not 75hz already is a very sweet spot.

 

Personally from what I have seen the 29inch 2560x1080p panels really are limited to the 75~90hz line, the 144hz ones are only if you go 34 inch but then there is pixelating since the pixel density(2560x1080p) isn't ideal any more... the best possible would go to the 1440p ultrawide that are all 34inch 100hz At least... but that would be way off OP's budget.

thanks for the link but its not going to work for me as I am looking link for CANADA, this link is for US. My budget is around $1100 without the monitors, keyboard, mouse & speakers.

 

Thanks

Gaming on two monitors is not going to work, at all. Either get 3 or an ultrawide.
