Anyone know stuff about pc gaming?

[matty1053]

Hi,

I'm curious if anyone knows much about computer hardware. (Graphics cards, CPU, MOBO, ect). I'm looking to build a gaming PC (For everyday use also). The game I am wanting to run is "Arma 3". I am planning to not to spend over $650. I do know the brands and such. Like AMD, Nvidia, Intel, ect. I just kind of want suggestions for parts.

Thanks a ton!

Sorry for asking! Just seeing if anyone would kind of help me out on what parts I should buy. Again, thanks!

Haha yeah. I felt iffy about posting this on here, worth a shot I guess? Heck, I think I'm better off posting this on here than reddit. (Yes.. I did post on reddit and was literally bombarded with hate replies.)

Yes, I'm sure everyone that reads this will think I'm a 12 year old. No, I'm not don't worry lol

AMD FX6300 is a good CPU for the money (AM3+). - $100 at current price

HD7850 is a good GPU for the money and goes well with the FX6300 - $110

(Ram has dropped in price recently so you can buy some without going broke again... ):

8GB DDR3 1600MHz - $55 (DDR4 is better and much much faster but also much more expensive, do some research if you prefer it)

750W PSU - $120 at current price

An ATX Motherboard supporting x4 RAM slots - $125 at its current price

ATX case - $85 at its current price

1TB HDD - $55 at its current price (I suggest getting an SSD at some point if you want significantly faster disk speeds, though do note they are quite expensive)

Total: $650

That total is without sales or even further and cheaper research. Same parts, all new for cheaper if you look deeper around more sites and look for more sales. With all that you might be able to scratch off around $100 from that total.

The key is to wait for sales. Some of these products, such as the FX6300 drop to $75 USD at times.

Thank you Monkey.! Haha you pretty much got exactly what I'm looking for.

But yeah I might wait for sales. But I'm planning on a ssd in the future. Thanks a ton though.
