Gaming pc 800budget
-
21-10-2013 1:03pm#1Hey again lads
I posted here a few times regarding pcs , got my pc in september with the help from you guys I also posted a while ago that my younger bro wants one and was going to buy it off adverts.ie but you guys advised me to just get a custom build one for him
Its basicly his christmas+birthday present rolled into one
(I'm not paying the 800 I'm just giving a 200e towards it) rest is his and my parents money together
so here we go
He wants a computer mainly for steam games, he wants graphics to be top notch and wants games to run on ultra high settings (if possible with this budget I don't know I'm not a techie) any help at all will be appreciated, Like i said i dont know anything about computers , so what ever build anyone posts up I'll just assume its a good one and go for it
What is your budget? 800 - 1000(if needs be its christmas after all :P)
2. What will be the main purpose of the computer? gaming on ultra max settings
3. Do you need a copy of Windows? yes win7 which ever one is the best one as I dont know, is 64bit the best one?
4. Can you use any parts from an old computer? no , he doesnt own a computer so he needs everything
5. Do you need a monitor? yes around 20-22 inch ( if prices need ot be mixed around a little he have the 20inch
6. Do you need any of these peripherals? [Wireless Card, Card Reader] YES, he needs a keyboard and mouse(il get of amazon for him so dont include it in the budget) also he needs one of them wireless usb pick up signal things, yano the ones the you plug into your computer and it picks up your wireless connection to the pc, ya one of them haha sorry don't know the name
7. Are you willing to try overclocking? No, never will
8. How can you pay? Assuming its with that german site, bank transfer
9. When are you purchasing? ASAP, have other presents to get unfortunatly
10. If you need help building it, where are you based? I'd like it built with the parts im buying before its sent to me, I dont mind paying the extra few quid to have it built, as I'd rather an expert puts it together so it works on christmas day then , then trying myself and breaking something :P
like I said any help at all will be great
games he will be playing will be a mix between needing high ram support and high cpu support, like civ 5, battlefield, skyrim ect...
Cheers lads as soon as its bought I'l post a pic of it before wraping it up and letting it collect dust:pac: 0

No problem. He's spoilt. What age is he?
The mouse in that deal is pretty good so it's not a bad deal.
The i5 has better performance but it would want to costing a fair bit more. It won't make a difference in some games but it can it can in others. The 6350 is still a very capable processor.
The parts will still fit the case.0 -
OK so here it is all priced up
I switched the graphics card you gave me the the Gigabyte Radeon HD 7950, 3GB GDDR5, PCI-Express
Mainly because I used the discount site and I got a nice discount on everything, so I said Id throw an extra few quid for the better graphics card, whether its any better then the one you mentioned I dont really know
Over all price €844.48 + 124e+ 16.50 = €984.98
have to say it looks like a very nice build for his first, I'm quite jealous now I'm not his age haha
(decided to go with the mouse , I'l give him my mouse and I'l take that one, looks to cool if I'm honest :pac:)
He is getting spoilt, but because I'm in my twenties I no longer get presents off the fat man
hes only 14 , turning 15 in december so its both a birthday present and christmas present rolled into one
I'm putting about 300-400 towards it, probably abit more since I decided to give him the intel and graphics upgrade, then the rest can come out of my parents wages :pac:
It will be an investment for him as It will last most games on nice high graphics for a few years atleast until hes old enough to get a job himself to pay for an upgrade
the fact Im a good bit older then him, means hes can get it, if we were closer to the same age, id very much doubth my parents would even consider spending that much on a pc ha
My dads face is after dropping when I told him the price, but he doesnt understand technology at all, can barly use an old nokia phone but hes very impressed with the pc you built me bloodbath their in september, thing only takes like 12seconds to turn on cant seem to get off it at all :pac:
well that seems like everything their need to turn the thing on and use it:) hope im not missing anything
again mate thanks for everything0 -
