Gaming PC for minimum budget

in #game6 years ago (edited)


hello steemit community,

I like to show you today all components you need to create your own gaming pc for a minimum of $$.

This computer is in this build not upgradable  except the graphic card, but you can play actual title like Battlefield 1 on full HD with 50-60 FPS. 

CPU

just one choice for price/performance

AMD FX 8350 try to find a bundle with a cpu fan

price new 83$ / 72€, used 52$ / 45€

RAM

we need DDR3 RAM

search for 2 identical bars with the highest MHz you can find 

2400 MHz > 1866 MHz > 1600 MHz

price: 2x 8gb new 127$ / 110€, used 92$ / 80€

graphic card

a very good price / performence card is the gtx 1060 with 6gb ram. I prefer to buy a used one because of big price difference and the upcomming next graphic card generation

price:  new 289$ / 250€, used 185$ / 160€

Motherboard

we are looking for a AM3+ motherboard with a ATX form factor 

we got 3 different chip sets, check the prices per chip set

from best to worst 

chip set: 990 > 970 >760

price: chip set 970 63$ / 55€

            chip set 760 49$ /43€

case 

the case is an individual style decision, i bought a new 28$ / 25€ case 

checklist for your new case:

midi tower

form factor: ATX

USB 3.0

2x fan installed

powersupply

important here is to choose the form factor ATX and minimum  550watt

hard disc

search for a 64 gb (or larger) sata 2,5 ssd hard disc for the operating system

price new 23$ / 20€

and a second sata 3,5 hdd hard disc for your games/storage 1 tb

price new 39$ / 34€


good luck for building our own price/performance pc, if you have any questions use the comment function.
