 Random Question I don't know why I decided to post this on this forum, but who cares, am I right? Now let's get into the topic:
How much do you think will it cost to build a decent computer good enough to play high-end games such as battlefield on the best quality?
I think it would be at least $1000 if you find good prices and discounts. But I don't know anything about building PCs, so I want your guys' opinion on this.
Again, don't ask me why I posted this here, I just want to see everyone's opinions.

Re: Random Question Go with 2000$ as a budget if you want a high end computer and not just a pretty casing.

Re: Random Question Depends on where you live actually, and whether you want to try to be able to play the NEXT high end game on full settings, and weather high settings to you includes 4K resolution (do you have a 4K monitor?) and such. If you live in the U.S. though, and if your plan is just for a gaming PC, you might be able to do it for something near $1,000 right now or in a few months. That is also if you are able to build it yourself from parts. Here's an example, that makes a few assumptions about you already having other external things or not needing some things. You might be able to go cheaper on some parts, might need to boost others up, but as a very quickly thrown together example, it's something to start with before looking up benchmarks and tests and such: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchantCPU: AMD FX-8350 4.0GHz 8-Core Processor ($151.98 @ Newegg) CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler ($24.99 @ Newegg) Thermal Compound: Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver 3.5g Thermal Paste ($6.88 @ OutletPC) Motherboard: Asus 970 PRO GAMING/AURA ATX AM3+ Motherboard ($101.98 @ Newegg) Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($67.99 @ Newegg) Storage: A-Data Premier SP550 240GB 2.5" Solid State Drive ($58.97 @ NCIX US) Video Card: MSI GeForce GTX 1070 8GB Video Card ($449.94 @ NCIX US) Case: Azza SIRIUS ATX Mid Tower Case ($25.98 @ Newegg) Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($78.49 @ SuperBiiz) Total: $967.20 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when availableGenerated by PCPartPicker 2016-09-13 21:37 EDT-0400

Re: Random Question A more thought out build can be found here though http://pcpartpicker.com/guide/d3BD4D/great-gaming-buildAnd they note being able to play Battlefield 4 on Ultra at 60fps at 1080p without any problem, and being able to do well at 1440p for many games as well. That's, again just north of $1,000. With both these builds, it's typically possible to find better combo deals on the motherboard and processor, or better processors, around if you keep looking or wait for a sale. Microcenter is really good on those prices if you have one around you.

Re: Random Question Thanks for the assistance guys, I am fairly new to building computers (by fairly new, I mean I never built one before). Let's just hope that I can make my computer soon enough, but I think probably not until beginning of next year. Or I can just screw it and build off of the pc I have right now.

Re: Random Question i spent about 1200 (over the course of about a year because i only made 100-200 dollars a week) when i built one but i can't even fucking use it because the cpu socket was fucked and i didn't notice until i started putting everything together and since i don't have a job anymore i can't replace the fucking motherboard

Re: Random Question Damn, that must suck. That's why you check parts as you buy them or when they arrive to your house (if it is delivered).

I can't think of any company that won't allow you to RMA that kind of problem and send you a new one. jakehead20, if you won't be able to do it till sometime next year, that will probably be good for you. By then, the Zen processors will be out, which will either be a huge step forward for lower cost processors that deliver well (if their price trend continues, but they haven't announced prices yet) or if nothing else may help drive down the cost of some older parts (if not the processors themselves, the motherboards and such).

Re: Random Question this motherboard https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Enthuastic-Z ... A+LGA+1151 and i never bothered to RMA it because i expect they'll claim it was "user error when installing the processor" and it's not like i can prove otherwise

Re: Random Question MSI I hear is pretty good on that stuff. Don't be so cynical and just try to RMA. I've RMAed several motherboards with worse companies over the years, usually they don't ask questions as long as it can be shown you put in the RMA within the proper time period and it really doesn't work now due to something mechanical (rather than, for instance, you don't have power). It's not as big of a hit for them since they'll have you send it in and they'll probably refurbish it and sell it again anyway.

Re: Random Question nowadays different AAA game companies cooperate with certain GPU developers. Games that run perfectly with nvidia may be shit on other cards with the same traditionally measured performance. The reason behind this is because of the limitations in memory transfer speed even in caches and video memory, so no matter how fast your card is, the memory will still slow you down, and so, by working together with the hardware developers, the software developers can utilize certain shortcuts that will only work for those cards, gaining additional performance. The different cards also provide different features, since they're built differently. The base features are all there, but some cards do some shit better than others.

Re: Random Question O Campeonato Sergipano de Futebol de 2006 foi a 88º edição do torneio e teve como campeão o Pirambu, que assim conquistou seu primeiro título estadual e garantiu vaga na Copa do Brasil 2007 e no Campeonato Brasileiro da Série C de 2006. O vice-campeão, Confiança, conquistou a segunda vaga do estado para a Série C de 2006. Os seis melhores colocados se classificaram para a Copa Governo do Estado de Sergipe de 2006.[1]
