$800 gaming PC for 1080p - can you help me?

Hardware Build a PC
1

Hello! I have an $800 budget to spend on a new gaming computer! This budget does not include moniter, keyboard, mouse, or OS. I will be gaming at 1080p, so I figured $800 could get me a nice computer for my needs :)

 

Thanks for any help you can provide!

Much bettter performance-wise than the other two builds above me.

That title gave me cancer. Vortex's build seems the best, if you have an ssd and only top out at $801. You seeem pretty much good to go.

I grammared the post.

Vortex88's build is a really good build for $800

Took Vortex's build, found a less expensive case and cooler, and put an 8350 in it. Couldn't ask for much more.

I can and will ask for a better PSU. Drop the aftermarket cooler and get a Rosewill Capstone 550 or XFX Core 550.

11

Yes, I just saw that thte 550w XFX was the same price, Stupid me. I know the Corsiar CX series is pure crap.

XFX Pro series, Lepa, Antec HCG, NZXT HALE, Corsair TX and above, Rosewill HIVE or Capstone... there are many options. Also, stay away from Thermaltake. My old TR2 RX 750w would give up at about 600w.

Here's a good reference site http://www.hardwaresecrets.com/page/power

This is what I would get http://pcpartpicker.com/user/Killerfrenzy96/saved/1RRS. Managed to get a 7970 in there. Game's only use 4 core's so 6 is anough. You can invest in a CPU cooler later on and maybe an SSD. PSU is a 650w Gold+ SeaSonic you should be fine. I went over budget $15 but your getting a 7970.

This is interesting thinking of just starting off here salvaging a hdd/os, ram & case then going with this for myself over my previous ideas (and assistance) yet I think I'd feel better with the other setup in the long run hmm.
