Wanting to build a gaming Desktop.
« on: December 28, 2012, 04:08:46 PM »
Me and my dad want to build a Desktop that can easily play skyrim on high-ultra settings or Ok on normal.
Can anyone please recommend parts or builds and how much they cost?

Depends on your budget.

I can build one that can play skyrim on mostly high settings for $600... Or you can buy superior and build one that'll run almost anything on the highest settings for the next 3 years for $1200

Just depends.

But here's my personal computer build:

Gigabyte GA-G41m Motherboard
Ripjaws 8gb DDR3 1333 RAM
Seagate 1tb HDD
550w generic power supply
Video Card: XFX Radeon 6770
Intel Q6600 2.4ghz [3.2ghz overclocked] CPU
Some random shit case I found in my grandfather's old computer shop

Spent about $600 on it and runs virtually any game besides Saints Row the Third.. for some damn reason.

Effectively, what Boxman said.  What is your budget?

Presently, in the realm of video cards, the AMD/ATI is in the lead.  For now.  I would never recommend Nvidia in any manner, as they are criminal IMHO.

What you should buy:  i5 Intel, appropriate motherboard with 6gb SATA, USB 3.0, gigabit lan, and good surround sound on board as there are few sound cards I would recommend.   A Full size case, with decent space, and rolled edges, so as to not cut fingers when installing stuff.  A minimum 600 watt power supply, of decent branding.  An SSD of decent branding, with a size large enough to hold the OS and its swap file. 8gb ram.  Windows 7 Pro.  NOT Win 8, as it is not fully sorted out yet (never buy a Windows OS before the first major Service Pack update...) A minimum of 1.5tb hard drive.

I'm going to point out that the hard drive and brands are personal preference. I don't like Nvidia either, but that doesn't mean some people won't find benefits for their needs through their technology.

In terms of hard drives, I never once went over 400gigs once and I see no need to use my 1tb for any reason. That isn't to say you won't be download pronz all the time, but keeping a clean hard drive is important...

Don't some games require 2.6 ghz?

No, games honestly in all honesty way under use the cpu's potential in my opinion. Which is sad.

So no, also questions still in the air... What... is... your... budget.

I overclock to record, not because my games can't handle it. I barely ever exceed 35-40% cpu usage at any time unless fraps is on
