Building A Gaming Pc!

[MrJeeblez 0]

So for Christmas, my brother bought a motherboard, and told me that we are (finally) going to be building a gaming PC. The motherboard we bought is a FM2A88X Extreme 4+. I was wondering what parts you guys think would go well with it? We want to stay around $900 to $1000, including monitors, keyboard, etc.

nice. I myself am building one just $100 short of what i need atm. anyway go to teksyndicate they will help you get a nice af gamin rig for that money.

here's what i'm trying to build AMD Athlon II X4 750K, Asus Radeon HD 6670, Antec One - Kirito's build - nach0nick's Saved Part List - PCPartPicker

10$ More is a 30% performance increase across the board. Don't get a 6670.

Here's my rig, with all the stuff I wanted included. Just under 1000$ after rebates. I'll probably get a 760 instead, because of Shadowplay and PhysX, but other than than that, this is my die-hard build. It's 700$ without all the extras included. You don't need an expensive keyboard at this price range, unless you're willing to spend another 100$ or so dollars. Go with a decent 10$ mouse, preferably optical, and go to the pawnshop/thrift store, and pick out a cheap mechanical keyboard. That's what I did.

• The motherboard is future-ready, with PCI-Express 3.0 and FM2+ ready
  
• The RAM is dual channel, which is better than a single stick
  
• The GPU has the best Price/Performance out of all the cards, maybe second compared to the 280X, but close
  
• The Processor isn't anything fancy, but it'll be better than an i3, or equal to an FX-4300
  
• PSU is way overkill, but it has wiggle room for Crossfire, which I like. Corsair, Antec, and Seasonic are recommended,
   
  
• It has an SSD, which might be pricey at this range, but I want one for my programs and such.

I'd say grab an xfx hd 7770, it'll still run most games on highest settings at around 30 fps, and medium settings at around 60-80

it runs TF2 at 4 bazililion fps, so gg
