hello steemit community,
I like to show you today all components you need to create your own gaming pc for a minimum of $$.
This computer is in this build not upgradable except the graphic card, but you can play actual title like Battlefield 1 on full HD with 50-60 FPS.
CPU
just one choice for price/performance
AMD FX 8350 try to find a bundle with a cpu fan
price new 83$ / 72€, used 52$ / 45€
RAM
we need DDR3 RAM
search for 2 identical bars with the highest MHz you can find
2400 MHz > 1866 MHz > 1600 MHz
price: 2x 8gb new 127$ / 110€, used 92$ / 80€
graphic card
a very good price / performence card is the gtx 1060 with 6gb ram. I prefer to buy a used one because of big price difference and the upcomming next graphic card generation
price: new 289$ / 250€, used 185$ / 160€
Motherboard
we are looking for a AM3+ motherboard with a ATX form factor
we got 3 different chip sets, check the prices per chip set
from best to worst
chip set: 990 > 970 >760
price: chip set 970 63$ / 55€
chip set 760 49$ /43€
case
the case is an individual style decision, i bought a new 28$ / 25€ case
checklist for your new case:
midi tower
form factor: ATX
USB 3.0
2x fan installed
powersupply
important here is to choose the form factor ATX and minimum 550watt
hard disc
search for a 64 gb (or larger) sata 2,5 ssd hard disc for the operating system
price new 23$ / 20€
and a second sata 3,5 hdd hard disc for your games/storage 1 tb
price new 39$ / 34€
good luck for building our own price/performance pc, if you have any questions use the comment function.
greeting Norbi
