Doctor Roflcopter Posted February 22, 2013 Share Posted February 22, 2013 Hello everyone, As of right now, I'm using a really crappy computer that runs TF2 with Chris config with 20-40 FPS. I'm thinking of buying/building a new gaming computer by the end of March and I'd like your opinions and tips on it. I'd appreciate if someone would show me good CPUs and Graphic Cards to run any game with 30+ FPS. But it will have to cost less than 1000$. Thanks for your help!

If you play your cards right you can do it in under $500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMD isn't as bad as people make it out to be. Heck the 8350 is just as good as the i5 in terms of real world performance, it even beats the i5 in many games. And I am an intel guy through and through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liddojunior Posted February 23, 2013 Share Posted February 23, 2013 Build this: CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K or i5 2500k (the i5 would be basically identical as i7 for gaming) RAM: Corsair 8GB DDR3 GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GeForce GTX660 Ti or GTX560 TI (Spring for the 660 if you can, i have the 560) OS: Windows 7 Professional 64-bit MoBo: MSI P67A-GD65 PSU: Thermaltake 750W Case: NZXT Phantom Shouldnt be that much. I remember i built that for 800$ in 2011 but add the prices up yourself. (I didnt have to buy Os) Hard drive up to you. I didnt include monitor/keyboard/mouse cause i think you have that already.

Nandoez Chicken™ Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 One thing. $1000 (£660) and only 30+ FPS? With that kind of money, you can look upward of 80 FPS (AMD Radeon 6850 is a price/performance card - I would recommend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrocide Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I know this is an old thread but still maybe someone can find a use for what I post Ridiculously overpowered way too expensive Dream machine I have about half of this... Missing the dual 690s (sli 580 currenty) rest of the ram (32 currently) case and the raptors. I would recommend 2500k, seasonic 750 psu, corsair 400r, 660ti, 8GB ram, p8z77 mobo, and a crucial m4 ssd + WD black EDIT: Cheap Gamer - a little bit over the limit but very worth it Put Debian based linux on it for TF2 (even better FPS - bout 20% increase - if you know how to launch TF2 from a terminal instead of running xserver in the background) MoBo comes with 8GB free ram (good enough to start you off) 400r is one of the best cases I have owned Crucial M4 is the best SSD ive used (tried mushkin callisto and ocz vertex3, apple ssd, gskill phoenix) 2500k is a cheap great gaming CPU - if you dont have any intention on overclocking downgrade to the 2500 save some cash for something you aint gonna use. Seasonic 750 PSU is a great PSU with plenty of power to do what you need D14 one of the better (albeit expensive) coolers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chief D Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I was in the process of building one myself. Hell, I still am.

There Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Best GPU you can buy is probably the 7870XT. Performance near 7950 with price near 7870. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Roflcopter Posted April 9, 2013 Author Share Posted April 9, 2013 Thanks for the help everyone! I bought one a week ago for 950$ Intel i7-3770 with 8 CPUs and 3.4 GHz 16 GB of RAM (Little overkill) NVIDIA GeForce GT 640 with 3 GB of video RAM Windows 8 (Got used to it) 2 TB hard drive capacity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrocide Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Can I ask why you went with 16gb of ram when 8 is plenty, and an i7 that is wasted on gaming with a gt 640? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted April 16, 2013 Share Posted April 16, 2013 http://pcpartpicker.com/user/420swagyolo/saved/1tBB Should've gone with this. The 7870XT will kill that 640. 965 is MORE THAN ENOUGH for gaming. I won't beat the 3770 in anything, but the 3770 is COMPLETE OVERKILL for gaming.

wallywalrus_ Posted April 29, 2013 Share Posted April 29, 2013 try 560 ti. I use it. (250+ FPS tf2, overclocked graphics) Intel i5 3570k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 try 560 ti. I use it. (250+ FPS tf2, overclocked graphics) Intel i5 3570k No, you won't get 250+ FPS with a 560 Ti. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyrocide Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Is that 250FPS at the loading screen...i can guarantee that you wont get 250 FPS on a 560ti when my SLI 580s wont get that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
