    Yay! I am finally making my own desktop! (Hopefully it will be better than my laptop) it will take my quite a while because I currently have around $90 of the $367 dollars I need just for the equipment (not including tax or shipping)(that is if no store has it) so yea, hopefully I will be able to make it soon! (This will be the first computer I have ever made)

    Is this including a monitor, keyboard, and mouse along with the desktop?

    What processor and graphics cards are you using? Also, what cooling system will you be using, if any?

    I don't know where you shop for those prices, but I am jealous! I priced out the hardware for a new desktop would be and couldn't get it below 1k, so congratulations on your new system. No graphics card?

    EDIT: Didn't see the card after the CPU... :wink:

    Where are you buying your parts from? They seem extremely cheap.

    1. Nice case!
    2. Decent power supply
    3. Pretty good
    4. This is only gonna help you if you are a moderate gamer so if you are intense it won't help much since it can't over clock
    5. Good
    6. Realllll good

    No, minecraft you could likely run around 30 fps average, 40-50 using optifine on servers and anywhere from 40-60 on singleplayer, depending on if you are using optifine and if you are using 1.7 or 1.8. On tf2 you could expect around 25-40 fps, depending on what is going on in the game. Stuff like Bioshock could be considered pretty intense, if you plan on playing things like that, I would recommend a better processor and a dedicated graphics card

    I did change the RAM and case, forget if I changed anything else
    I think I changed the processor because the other one apparently overheated extremely quickly

    Intense is depened on how long you play. Say if you play an hour on the week days and 2 hours on the weekends that is moderate. Say if you play an hour on the weekends and 10 hours on the week days that would be intense say if you play 1 hour on the weekday and 12 hours on the weekend that would still be moderate

    I also recommend Intel Core i5 for gaming DO NOT get the i7
