I need a new gamming desktop!

(1/2) > >>

fallacy:
The last one I built came out of PC building Bible 2007. Only thing I know I want is Intel's Core i7 possibly i5 is the price is a big enough difference.

Hit me up with some links on good deal on parts or kits if you know of any. I want to keep it below $1500.

Thanks,

Slickdeals.net is a great resource to find deals

With a $1500 budget, it shouldn't be too hard.

- Z68 based motherboard
- i5 2500k (which will leave you nice headroom to overclock if you choose)
- 8gb of nice ram (that'll run you $50 these days.... crazy cheap)
- SSD boot drive (I'd go for a 120gb personally)
- storage drive of your choice
- DVD or BluRay drive
- Video card based on what you actually want to spend on one.  I never buy high end so I'd recommend a GTX 560 personally.

With prices as low as they are today why would you want a kit or parts? I buy computers mostly from Tiger Direct.

For $630 you can get a good i5 PC such as this one.

For $1500 you can get a smokin fast i7 such as this one that will handle all your gaming needs. http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=1277091&CatId=6

There may be one or 2 things you may want to add but for the most part the PCs will meet your needs for much less hassle than kits, bundles, or buying items seprately.

That’s not a bad find. I think the only thing I want changed would be a Nvida Graphics card. What is the bang for your buck Nvida graphic card these days?  Never mind I will look it up.
