Your $1OOO Computer Build

sealinders · Dec 11, 2011

Since I know nothing about gaming computer's, I thought I would put you in my shoes and ask you to build the best gaming computer you can for $1000. Hopefully the build's will help me determine what parts are best for me, etc. (If you go over the amount by a little that is okay)

Thanks!

Thank's for the quick response! Just wondering, would that be able to run game's like Skyrim, WoW and Crysis 2 on max settings?

Yes. If you have the money, you could upgrade the video card to a 6970 or a Nvidia 570 for about $80-100 more. I have a 570 and it maxes Crysis 2 with DX11 patch and high texture pack.

Change hard drive to: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152305

You will have better performance than the Seagate.

Case to:

Offsets the HDD price difference, plus you are getting a case which offers more for the money.

Better quality than the other, more features

Video card to:

A standard 560Ti is on parr with a 6950, the core 448 has better performance and uses less power.

PSU for http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151096

Add CPU cooler:
