Hey guys! and girls of course! My name is Cimmi. I have a youtube channel. I do gaming videos. I recently decided that in addition to the normal ps3 games i want to play computer games so i decided to buy a beast pc. i went on cyberpower.com and customized one based on how cool the names sounded because im not the most technologically advanced person. heres the link : http://www.cyberpowerpc.com/saved/1H9JEQ by all means change anything that would make the computer better and/or cheaper i have 1000 dollar budget But if any of you are really good at this kind of stuff and can remove anything i added and dont particularly need then LET ME KNOW!! Please!! it took a while to complete this. But yea please help me figure out the best pc for the cheapest price
NEED HELP BUYING A PC!!!!!!
- Thread starter cimannon
- Start date
no sir they were just the first site i found when i set out to find a great gaming pc. but heres what i HAVE to have in the pc:
RAM 8-32 doesnt really matter as long as i can add when im ready
DRIVE 500-1 TB
processor 3.5-anything over without it being overclocked
it would be AWESOME to have water cooling but if you know one that meats all the other needs and doesnt have water cooling its ok
oh yea and it would be really great if it looked cool! i mean i know this isnt really that big a deal but if it could thatd be awesome

How big of a city do you live in? Most likely if you search for computer repair stores in your city, assuming it isn't tiny you should have several, and most of them will offer custom builds in addition to repairs. You could talk to them and probably get a similar build for a similar price compared to CyberpowerPc, iBuypower, etc. I've bought two computers from Cyberpower in the past and they're good computers mostly, but if anything goes wrong, it can take a long time to get it resolved and fixed. If you go local, you can get way faster service.
You can always go to a site like PCpartpicker and look at people's different builds. They come with real time prices for every part and have a compatibility checker so you know everything will work together and you'll know whether or not you're under $1,000. You could take that to a local builder and probably get a good deal on having it put together.
I would do something like a part picker or go to see custom builds but i have no idea what most of the parts do
i just know that you need a computer with a good graphics card and ram in order to play games uninterupted but other than that i have no idea what would be good to add. That is why i came to this site because i needed people who actually knew what the words meant and what the parts did. But if youve checked out the build i kind of customized could you tell me any unnesesary things i did or things i shouldve added and did not? and your personal preference

Pretty much threw that list together rapidly. My phone's about to die but to reallocate about $100 you could step down to a R9 380 graphics card and a Hitachi 2TB drive..
Also prossibly ditching skylake for an older haswell chip.

LOL do you agree with the parts he has?Sounds like a square peg, square hole situation
Eh? I felt it was pretty roomy without being overbearing, should hold those components with some space to spare.
+1 for the SSD though. Also, you could probably swing a higher capacity drive for not a lot of additional cost.

LOL you got me i just thought it would be the fastest

Most definitely. My CPU runs at 4.7 and it'll still get it's but handed to it by this Skylake when gaming. Single-core performance pretty much trumps clock speed. (Intel's new M processors run under 1GHz and are still pretty powerful for the application)
