Hello community of the tek. I'm looking for suggestions on a 1000$ gaming rig that will benifet me greatly. I'm not looking for anything fancy. I need Something above intel i5 and a good graphics card. Help plz.
its either this windows solution or Mac.
You don't need anything above intel i5, plus you can't afford it at that price range.
Do you need an OS, if so which one and also do you need peripherals?

You don't really need anything above an i5 for gaming. That said, if you need hyperthreading for editing or something, there's room in the budget for a Xeon e3 1231 v3 which is just a locked i7 without an iGPU. There is also room to step up to an i7 4790k. However, if you do not need HT, then I would recommend adding an SSD for the boot drive. Also, there is room for Windows, but not peripherals, but you didn't state whether you needed them or not.
The Hyper 212 Evo doesn't fit in the Source 210.
Thanks, wasn't really aware of that.
Just needs a bigger case then.
$20 bucks over budget ... but one hell of a rig

You could drop in an R9 290x and keep it under $1000
yeah the top of the heat pipes touch the side
and that WD re hard drive is for video surveillance rigs and not good for data integrity as a primary drive
It touches barely. I know because i've tried it.
Ah didn't know that either.
Man my build had a lot of flaws :P
it also depends on how tall the mobo standoffs are and the PCB thickness
Considering that pretty much everyone will use the included standoffs and motherboard thickness being pretty much negligible, it should fit fine. Seriously my maximus iv gene z gen 3 cannot be any thicker or thinner than any other board by a significant amount.
Yes but when it is touching the case to begin with .. every nano meter counts and not all mobo's come with the same stand offs
Thx, I really needed some suggestions. I don't want to go waste 1000$ with parts that don't even go together. ( btw, it happened to me once. Wasted about 400$ on GPU) but anyways, the one build that's like 20$ bucks over is just what I needed, the windows 7 is gonna be pushing the price a little bit but it will be all worth it. I was also thinking about doing a triple monitor setup but that's gonna be a lot considering monitors these days are somewhat expensise. What kind of monitor setup do you guys think I should do❓
Your ram price is not included..
No, it's not. The RE series is for Data-Center and NAS applications. It's will offer great data integrity.
And by the way, the WD Purple drives that are the dedicated surveillance drives. They are build for 24/7 usage and offer great performance and data integrity as well. They also perform well in a desktop environment because its made for high loads of simultaneous reads and writes and reliable operation.
So the only problem with the RE3 drive that he had in his build is the fact that it is only a SATAII drive. The RE4 is the new generation with SATAIII.
prices and availability are always in flux
here is different parts ... because the prices change every day
