My son is turning 12 soon and wants a gaming computer for Christmas and his birthday.
I have not built a system in years...I need a good review and some advice if you see anything. I am right about my max budget, about $1100 is what I want to spend. All will be purchased through Newegg.
I am going AMD/ATI based system, all I ever used was Intel/Nvidia...I think it's all compatible.
Case: Corsair Carbide Series SPEC-01 $40
Power Supply: Corsair CX600M $55
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-990FXA-UD3 $110
Processor: AMD FX-6350 Vishera 6-Core $110
Processor Cooler: CM Hyper 212 Evo $35
Ram: CORSAIR Vengeance (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 $75
Graphics: GIGABYTE Radeon R9 270X $175
Hard Drive: Western Digital Black $70
Monitor: Samsung 24" LCD $140
Of course there will keyboard, mouse, BluRay drive, custom lighting, custom fan grills, fan filters, some dremel cutting, some painting. I am also putting all Corsair red LED fans in it all throughout.
