I have been a gamer now for quite a few years and i have all ways played on consoles from the N64 to the ps2 and now the xbox 360 but i think that consoles have just got boring and they don't concentrate on the games as much they just want money there's nothing new at all and watching your videos has helped me realise this but i don't know where to start on making my own rig like getting the right parts to start up or where the best place is to get them from i have no experience with computers and this just seems really new to me could you help out as its all confusing
You could get a prebuilt. How much do you want to spend? Under 500$? APU. 500-1500$? AMD. Above 1500? LGA2011. 500$ build: Phenom 1100t, GTX750Ti, 2x8GB DDR3, Quality 750W PSU, 1TB Hard Drive. 1000$ build: FX8320, GTX 780, 2x8GB DDR3, Quality 750W PSU, 1TB Hard Drive. 1500$ build: 4820K, GTX 780Ti, Rampage IV Extreme, 2x8GB DDR3, Quality 750W PSU. 2000$ build: 4930K, GTX 780Ti, Rampage IV Black Edition, 2x8GB DDR3, Quality 750W PSU, 1TB Hard Drive.
never listen to this man, he just admitted to being high as f*ck in the lounge forum...
thanks for the advice haha
rab, STFU AND GTFO. stop evading the ban.
OP:
look at some of the other build around, god only knows there's a tone of them
You didn't give us a budget and you didn't tell us if you are using this for anything else other than gaming. NCIX did a video on a "Just good enough" gaming PC build.

I would swap out the motherboards if you have more money.
Well im in the uk so it's £ but i have around 300-400 i allready have a Monitor, keyboard and mouse and the computer will be used for document making like word because I'm in college at the moment but also for gaming i also allready have a 1TB seagate.barracuda 7200.12 if that helps

This one falls right under your budget, with a FM2+ socket mobo if you decide to upgrade the cpu in the future.
http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/p/2Ta0g i just made this i dunno if this is good or not but if i did do this what would it be good for and should i make any changes
Overall that is a very solid build, however, I would personally go with a more powerful graphics card. For your price range, the R7 260 or 260X I think would be a good choice. Or if you wanted to, you could get by with just the integrated graphics on the CPU for a while and save money for an even better graphics card.
Sorry mate, that is not a good build. Why did u choose an APU and that weak GPU， the PSU is way overkill, the case is too pricey for the budget and the mobo sucks.
You can tell i have no idea what im doing

Here is a solid build for your budget. You've got enough power headroom to upgrade your cpu in the future if you need to.
