Just built my new gaming pc (pics) (specs) (srs)

[DXXB]

I don't know a damn shiit about computers but where the fak are u getting money for all that + 3 iphone 4s. hook us up

agreed, i want one

[xITHYPHALLIC]

Lmao, just saw the 150 dollar monitor in there.

And to be honest, you are a derp for spending so much on the keyboard and the mouse. Brb, could have used that money for the best GPU on the market and still fit your "budget". A keyboard and mouse won't make you better at a game. U mad I use a basic Logitech mouse and still do well?

[dtbrehm]

Wait, so people are laughing at spending 3g on a PC (Which is actually decent price considering everything bought in Aus, and the exra's he bought), then saying that he needs to spend more money on better components? lolwut

Compared to the overall price of the rig, the video card is lackluster. Can easily make a 580 build for around $1200.

bro this is a watercooling loop this>>>>>>>>>>>>NOT FREE

That's what he's installing

[Feloution]

you should go back a page in this thread, people are recommending 32gb lol

[idcimfat]

Would never use water cooling i use to hit my desktop tower a ton would of been a mess

[Ivan7x]

negs in 5 if OP doesnt say how he got dat cash

[CGUnsder]

Buy more RAM brah! It's way cheap now, and I know your MB can handle 16G without a problem... other than that, nice build

[FuarkenSwoleBra]

PM for money advice (srs)

Yeah I do agree, I could buy a much better pc, but I really value a great mouse and keyboard, I tried tons and tons out and these two were just perfect for my needs. IMO a good mouse and keyboard is more important than the best GPU on the market, especially when this build runs everything on ultra, just MY OPINION

[rnewton4]

Im from perth and staticice is your friend, US isn't much cheaper at all. And we are saying for 3 grand he could swap lots of useless **** in that list for some decent parts which would be much more useful... all for a cheaper price, it's just a bad list

I'm also from perth and looking to upgrade my pc soon (For skyrim!). The cheapest shops over here are PLE, Austin, MSY and pccasegear. The prices OP has listed a few posts up are only a tiny bit extra. I would go through staticice to prove it, but its late and I have uni early tommorrow morn, so really cant be bothered.

[The-BeAsT]

brb getting a car with that money instead of improving my k/d ratio goals in 2012

[tapout17]

3000 on a pc that could have been built for half the price... lol Either way it's your money.

Look above

[really_stupid]

Not really sure why all these gaming companies release games that hardly anyone can run. Brb spending 2k on a computer every time a new game comes out so I can play it. I'll just stick to my games that are 10 years old.

1. Might actually downgrade mouse, it's a lot to pay.
2. Would rather just use keyboard, but the Nostromo is awesome

You're 15, not a ****ing CEO you young ass mother****er.

I bought this mouse a few weeks back!! Paid $70 direct for logitech Aus! Great mouse!

[AetasNitor]

Now that is bad ass. I need to start getting WC parts for my upcomming x79 cmstorm trooper build

[Kamil]

That's what he's installing

No, it's not. H60 looks like this and is actually worse than top of the line air coolers (NH-D14, Thermalright Silver Arrow).



I've been building computers for over 10 years, not talking out of my ass here.

You don't need 16gb of ram for gaming. And you won't for at least the next 2 years. Complete waste of $50, don't bother. Srs.

Your SSD choice is poor, corsair/crucial/intel are superior drives.

You should have spent more money on a 120hz monitor so you're not limited to 60fps without screen tearing. inb4 human eye can't distinguish between 60 and 120 fps. It can.

You paid $150 too much for your motherboard. There is nothing on it you need that a $150 board can't offer, I promise.

Keyboard and mouse are a bit overkill, but that's personal preference and forgivable.

IMO you could have saved yourself around $500 and built a system with better parts with slightly better performance if you had done a little more research or hired someone more competent. Grand scheme of things, you won't be able to tell the difference and will enjoy your new rig just as much anyway.

Edit: Just saw that you paid for an antivirus. Sigh. Microsoft Security Essentials; free, just as effective.

[primaris]

150 on a keyboard? I paid 80 for my g15 and I rarely use the G keys.. now my G700 was a good investment. Why are you buying windows? What kind of nerd brags about his gaming PC then buys windows? Every gamer knows how to get windows. Pseudogamer FTL. Clearly you should just go get an i7 black.. good luck.

[JMAG90]

not bragging but just because you can't afford it doesn't mean others can't... you're getting mad because I spend my SPARE cash on something I enjoy? I'm 15 years old (inb4 teen misc) and making a living for myself in between school... sorry for spending my money .

Oh **** this brought the lulz hard

other than that, good job OP looks solid

[tapout17]

better off taking advice from this guy lol.

ye and im saying US isn't much cheaper, just looked at i7 2600k and staticice has it cheaper than newegg lol


EDIT: saw OP is 15, I forgive you. But next time just make a thread on what parts to buy... in a computer forum and you'll save some buck

Noted down the following things to discuss with him:

H60 not that good
Poor SSD
Don't need $300 motherboard
Upgrade to 120 HZ monitor.

The guy has been building for ages and he does know his stuff, he and you both said 8 gigs ram is fine, so will stick with that I guess... Thanks a lot for help, repped

[Fred87nc]

Cliffs: OP is 15 and frauding about age on stats/lives at home with parents. Negged

[rnewton4]

ye and im saying US isn't much cheaper, just looked at i7 2600k and staticice has it cheaper than newegg lol

So cheapest is $305.00, with $325.00 in second. Not much better than OP's quoted amount. Also remember that these prices haven't included shipping......
