Desktop Build Help

Processor: you should use at least an Intel i5 or any processor similar from other companies.

Motherboard: it depends on what processor you choose, BE SURE TO CHECK COMPATIBILITY between processor and motherboard.

graphics card: If you have any more money you would be willing to spend, here is where you should allocate it. This is the part that affects gaming performance the most.

Memory(RAM): at least 4, preferrably 8

Storage (HDD/SSD): you will want at least 1 TB for an HDD

Case: You will most likely want an ATX mid or ATX full tower size case with several fans.

Power Supply: Depends on other parts, look up the power consumption for graphics card and processor, then add a bit for the other parts

Optical Drive: The only reason you need one of these is to install the operating system

Operating system: Windows 8 64-bit is what most games are optimized for. But this is mostly based on personal preference.

Ive customized a computer for you. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2erqv

If you would like me to personalize it to you preferences more, message me, I love doing stuff like this.

 

This is the type of stuff I like doing, so I didnt even notice that it took more than a minute...

 

Guagadu's build is very good i must say, although i think instead of the 650 you should get at least a 680.

 

I do not know how many FPS you would run, I do, however have some refrence points that you might be able to compare to. My brother has a GeForce GT 745M (about 140% worse than 650 Ti Boost) on his laptop, and he can run Minecraft on high settings while recording with Bandicam at 50-60 FPS, and a friend has the Radeon HD 7950 (about 25% better than 650 Ti Boost) and he runs Minecraft with an FPS limit while recording with Fraps at 120 FPS. both of them run High settings. My experience with computers is heavy research for about 6 months, and now I have bought parts to build my own computer. And I do not know if the computer will overheat, I dont think so, but I have bought the same case, and I have some slightly higher end parts than the parts I refered you to. I can however say that the case comes with 2 large fans in the top, and a medium sized fan at the back.

I know that you will not have a problem with Minecraft though, as it is one of the easiest games to run.

He doesn't need a 680, 680s are more for high-medium games on high settings. A 650 Ti Boost should be enough for his needs. I checked and the 650 is supposed to be able to run battlefield 4 on medium-high settings.

The 650 Ti boost should be good enough for what you want, though I noticed that there is a GPU at a similar price is 15% better. Here I changed the build to the new card: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/2eukE

If you want to know, I use game-debate.com for GPU comparison...

 

The 7870 is about 15% better than the 650 for $5 more. Game- debate does a better job describing than me.

 

I forgot to mention, if you want to do video editing, it would help to have a faster processor, though the processor on the computer I customized for you is already a good one.

 

I'm pretty sure FRAPS isn't compatible with Windows 8, but not entirely sure.

 

Yes. The only lag you would see is out of the computers control.

I don't know either, I prefer to use Bandicam, because my security hates fraps. I'll check on my brother's computer I make sure.

 

Ok could you please answer sometime tonight I am looking at a PC and I need help with the GFX Card what is a good NVIDIA card, Processor, and other stuff to even up with those. Could you please help by tonight?

 

Can you give me more information? Do you have a defined budget and what do you want your PC to be able to do?

 

Intelcore i7 is so overpowered!

 

And if you get the extreme edition........

 

No and today I am going to talk to some people but thanks for going to help me.
