Sub $500 Gaming Build

[Euro_Bucks]

I would like to share a build I am planning to get very soon

and you might wanna make it as a reference on your

upcoming purchase. Got these prices from newegg so

if you'll ask how much it would be on your country,

it would costs somewhere near these prices.

 

 

Cooler Master Elite 110 = $39

* One of the most cheapest ITX casing out there. Unlike Lian-Li's

and Silverstone's, you could fit a standard sized PSU in it.

 

Corsair CX 430 430W = $39

*430w of power is more than enough for this entire build

 

Biostar Hi-Fi B85N 3D = $69

*Cheap and has most of the features those famous brands currently has.

For this small platform, it has a good built-in audio.

 

Intel Pentium G3258 3.2 Ghz LGA 1150 = $69

*At $70 you get a special edition CPU from Intel. An unlocked

CPU that overclocks well with the Biostar Hi-Fi B85N 3D.

 

G.Skill Ripjaws X 4GB X 2 DDR3 1600mhz = $79

*G.sKill sports a cheap and a kickass design on their

rams. 8Gb with a 1600mhz speed is good enough to play current released games.

 

Zotac GTX 750Ti 1GB 128-Bit GDDR5 = $139

*Sports the new Maxwell architecture. A card so powerful to handle

games like Battlefield 4, Titanfall, COD Ghosts etc. that peaks at

insanely low 75 watts.

 

Western Digital WD Blue 1TB SATA = $59

1Tb is I think a pretty good enough capacity for this build.

 

Total = $493

(monitor excluded)

 

A budget gaming PC that can handle latest games @ full HD.

It has a small foot print that you could put it almost anywhere

on your table.

 

If you got any suggestions, please let me know, thanks!

What is this "gaming" you're talking about?

[Euro_Bucks]

It could play recently released games at least, and with decent frame rates.

I think he was meaning it in a more sarcastic manor, Bucks. The majority of us on here only overclock and compete with one another, not game.

 

That combo will handle the latest games, but don't expect to be able to turn everything up to the max and get playable frames from it.

Loud and clear. I just thought there might be a gamer lurking around.

Oh, it is without any shadow of doubt that there are gamers on here. I'm not saying there aren't, it's just that the majority of us probably overclock in our spare time more so than game. Benchmarking is our form of game.

Yes it is, indeed. Funny, friends notice me playing 3DMark on steam and asks me, WTF is that game?
