Hi I am just coming into the world of building pcs. I am looking for a FULL parts list (including cabling) for a 800$ (USD) pure GAMING rig.
I would like to overclock it.
I live in New Zealand but none of the 800$ has to include shipping.
I will be using background programs such as steam.
it will need to be pushing a 1080 60hz TV screen.
I will be playing games like Planetside 2 and BF3 and such like.
Would like to run Windows 7.
I do have a Nvidia GTX 210 in another machine don’t know if i can sli that!?
Since i am new in this fantastic world i don’t know what will and won’t fit together so i need help with that.
A MINI ITX system would be preferable BUT if it means i don’t get as powerful as system then I don’t mind a full size.
Many thanks.
Do you already have a copy of win 7? Also, where do you intend to buy your parts, reasonable shipping rates to new zealand are not quite common for us shops. It would be quite hard to get a oc setup that makes sense with nz limited amounts of hardware and high prices.
Also, since you mentioned another pc, do you have parts you can use like a hard drive or a dvd burner? The 210 belongs in the trash sadly.
That would be within budged http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/1xVlj
or with a better psu for when you upgrade the gpu

You cannot oc the cpu with that, but the gpu is fair game.
The copy of win7 isnt the issue. The parts will be sourced from all over the place because of all the awkward shipping but the 800$ is more of a rough guide of pricing. I can worry about the logistics i just dont know whats best/fits together :/
many thanks and the other system has a segate baracuda 1tb with win7 preeinstalled and its got a dvd r/r
though its a shame about the 210 :(
http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/1xVuI That would be within budged, but maybe you can get a 7950 shipped to you for cheap instead of the 7870 (prefarably with blower fan)
If you can get a enermax edt-t60-tb shipped to you for cheap you can also OC for about 100usd more (or something like a h80 for more, a water cooler would actually be optimal for that case), other then that this is the cheapest option for OC that makes sense http://nz.pcpartpicker.com/p/1y6MP
good luck, maybe you can find something, cables etc come with the hardware, you just need a monitor cable.
