Hello, I was hoping I could get some help in building a gaming PC? I have no experience in building my own PC, but I understand that the only real difficulty is choosing the parts to use.
Can I get some suggestions for what brands and/or model numbers to use for the different components involved in building a computer? I don't really have a budget, but I would like to keep the total under $1000 if possible. I don't have the funds to get any decent computer at the moment, but I would like to start making a list so I can shop around.
The kind of computer I would like to make would be one that could run games on medium-to-high graphics, and still have it running at around 40-60 FPS. The only real basis I have to help explain what I want, is that I want something that runs better than my laptop. It can run some games fine with all settings set on low, but it tends to overheat and then shut itself off. I just really want to be able to play my games, as if I were playing them on a console. I know laptops aren't really meant for gaming, but it's what I was given as a graduation present a few years ago, and it's all I've got. But some of its specs are as follows:
HP Pavillion g6 Notebook PC
Intel Pentium CPU Dual Processor P6300 @ 2.27 GHz
4 GB RAM
Radeon HD 6470M Graphics
I apologize if I've given too much information, or not enough. I would appreciate any help, thank you.
