    can you give me a list of seperate parts i can have? im having a budget of 500-600 but if you say ill save money than i guess 400-500.

    Do you have a monitor, keyboard and stuff?
  • Well it is and it isn't DDR5 Ram doesn't mean it's modern, that has been around for a long while now. You can find better spec graphics card on the market for cheaper.



    Says the guy that would buy a pre-built computer, hihi!

    Great, making assumptions, I gave a link to a pre-built because the guy said he didn't want to build a computer you incompetent fuck. If you want a list a of computer parts, listen to someone who actually has built one or knows about computers. (me, limes, muffin, cookz, kek, etc.) Not to this filthy incompetent peasant who is an insult to the human race.

    im still full on about the prebuilt im just asking for seperate parts because i want to see if the effort of learning how to build a computer is worth it for the less ammount of money i will be spending on the computer

    Essentially building a computer is the best way to go in terms of saving money and power. It is simple to do and nothing to be intimidated by. With 600 dollars just for a RIG (not including a monitor/mouse/etc..) is a good budget. However you will need to find some way of getting an Operating System, there are ways to get it for free (via torrent/burning) or you can buy it for 80-100 dollars, knocking down your budget to 500 (which is still decent).

    edit: seriously MIR? what a fucking joke

    missing parts also...

    Which parts?

    MIR = Multiple Information Resources

    I checked some forums, reviews.

    Please continue.

    Which parts are missing once again.

    edit: Case is a part? That's new.

    cooling, CPU comes with a cooler.

    Yeah it's getting old now, that was like 2 years ago. People change.

    I'm going to leave this thread to fallout the IT expert.

    would the prebuilt computer you recommended still be good to get good performence for crossfire and other games like source? I'm not looking for the top of the best, medium budget computer where i have to build it, because i know now thats the best way to go. right now im just looking for something that can perform good for at max two years until i decide to go and upgrade or even start from scratch and build a really good computer.

    Yes people change, but for you to have noticeably changed at LEAST 10-15 years must have passed. You're still a whale man.

    thanks for your effort in helping me.

    Yeah, those games are pretty easy to run because the engines they use. I would still build one because Intel processors are better than AMD, if you are not looking for a machine to run anything to hardware dependent, then there is really no use for you to buy an i5 2500k processor, the i3 2120 is good enough, (save you 100 dollars), you can keep the same graphics card, 6850 is probably the best card for mid-grade builds ATM, also you don't need a power supply above 600W.

    i think i'll decide just to build one. can you give me a list of computer parts? i can see from recent posts that you are experienced with computers and i think you can give me the best list of parts. and plus you understand the most of where i'm at with what computer i generally want.

    are you going to buy an operating system (ex. windows 7) or are you going to burn/torrent?

    buy windows 7 x64
  • it's kind of a bad time to build a PC because hard drive prices are really high because of the shortages, (50 dollar hard drives are selling for 200)

    so should i just buy the prebuilt and then later upgrade?
