Sup doods. So I've decided that instead of buying a next gen console I want to invest my money in a new PC. I'm pretty clueless as to what is good and what is bad anymore so I went down to my local computer place and told them what I was looking for. I told them my budget (around 1000$) and they put together a system and gave an estimate of what it would cost. Before I buy anything I thought I'd take it to you guys to see if I should upgrade anything. Specs i5-4570 Asus Socket 1150 mainboard 8 GB DDR3-1333 RAM Geforece GT620 PCI-E w/1 GB (upgrade?) 1 TB 7200rpm SATA Windows 7 PRO Guy said I should upgrade to 250gb SSD Like I said I'm clueless when it comes to this shit so let me know what you think. Also I'm looking for any good monitor and computer desk deals as well. Edited by Trapt, Dec 31 2013, 04:29 PM.

double your budget if possible. I think you'll need 2-3gb video memory to be really comfortable in BF4, for example. i pretty ignorant also, though. |

actually.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824236313 but check to see what power supply you have. To support a decent card, I'd get like a 500-550 watt psu. |

Looking at the eVGA GTX-650 instead. Note that I plan on upgrading this pc overtime as I get the money. So for now I'm just looking for something affordable to hold me over. Once again I really don't know much about the latest builds so let me know if I can do better for something within the same price range.

I realize I would save more money building the system myself but I have no experience in doing so. This company built my last pc and they gave me free two year warranty as well as lifetime free labor for any fix/upgrade I needed. I know I'm paying a little extra for the parts due to labor but to me it's worth it. I feel like the only part I'm falling short in is with the graphics card which I plan on upgrading when I make more money. Is there really much of a performance difference between the i5 4570 and i5 4670? I should mention the package also includes a 20'' LED monitor, keyboard, mouse and case.

We'll you are paying top dollar for mediocre parts. You can find old 2nd gen i7's on craigslist that will rape the poop out of these haswell chips. you could be doing a way better rig than what you listed and be around 500 dollars. |

I think a happy medium between these two is best. I'd recommend upping the processor to the i5-4670k but then a gtx 760 over 770. the build would end up looking something like this. some stuff that annoyed me: -if you're buying an intel processor, just don't buy the non-"k" version. pay the $10-20 more to be able to overclock for much better future proofing. -they shouldn't be selling you 1333 ram period, this is 2014 not 2008. -then a gt620? wha? either use the graphics built in to intel's processor and save the $50 or buy a graphics card meant for gaming. seriously, just google "gt620" and look at it... do you even want that in your $1000 pc -operating systems can be easily pirated but you can buy it for $200 if you're feeling honorable. obviously the company is going to charge you for it if you buy from them, but you can save $200 and get a modern OS like Windows 8.1 if pirating doesn't really bother you. if you want to really leave some headroom for a monitor and desk, this is a nice build too, but I really, really don't recommend the OP build. if the benefits of coming with a keyboard, monitor, etc are just too good then go with whatever. it's your money edit: chalupa is true also, always check craigslist Edited by ezra., Jan 1 2014, 02:31 AM.

also watch newegg deals - for example this 128GB Samsung SSD, one of if not the best on the market, is $50 off for 1 day. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=20-147-192&nm_mc=EMC-GD010114&cm_mmc=EMC-GD010114-_-index-_-Item-_-20-147-192 Edited by ezra., Jan 1 2014, 03:13 AM.
