Looking to assemble a gaming PC

[Knuckle]

fucking a do people still need help doing this shit? its seriously a joke at this point to build ur own PC, you hardly have to do any research AT ALL. you can pretty much cheese a build just going into newegg and going by highest rated at certain price points. I still recommend using toms hardware to find out what the latest and greatest overclockers are for CPU and motherboard, then look at best GPU for each price point on their article section. the rest is a cakewalk. plug and play *****.

Or, go with AMD.

Cheaper, better processors. What's not to like?

The only thing that might save you money is waiting for HDD prices to fall. I'm building a new computer myself and omg the prices are through the roof from the flooding, so I'm only buying one for now.

Newegg has these specials called "Shell Shockers" that they run throughout the day. Most every day they have at least one combo deal where you can get a combination of proc, mobo, ram, HD, vid card, case or other component. Usually not all of those together, but several. And the discount you get with the combo is fairly significant. You have to be ready to pull the trigger on the deal pretty quick, as it is time sensitive. But worth looking into.

It is hard to justify building your own PC these days. You can get something pretty fast for $500 now. Usually there is not much headroom in a box like that. Meaning that there wont be a heck of a lot of room to upgrade, and you'll be looking to buy a new rig in 18 months, give or take. With proper planning, you can build something yourself that can last longer with just a bit of an upgrade here or there through its life cycle. Plus there is an extra feeling of satisfaction knowing you built it yourself.

Good luck with your build. Let us know how it turns out.
