Guide in Building a Gaming PC and Where to Get Bang for Buck Parts

daniboi91 on 12/07/2020 - 01:05

Hello,

I would like to ask for help and guidance in building a gaming PC and where to buy its parts that have great prices. I’ve read a lot of discussions specially those techfast ones as I was planning to buy one of their pre built ones coz it was at a really good price but i’ve read a lot of issues with their products like bad quality of other parts except the cpu and gpu, delays in shipping which I understand with the current situation, and techfast not able to deliver what was advertised. Which made me think on building one. I have a budget of $1000-$1300. I not really familiar with the parts and don’t which ones are good so if you guys can help me put this all together. I play dota 2 and started playing COD with my friends so that you guys would know what level of graphics i am dealing with.

Thanks!

Gaming

    Building a pc from parts really isn't hard. Almost definitely something your capable of, and will markedly raise your options for quality parts.

    Pcpartpicker have builds others have completed, and a lot of discussion on those builds. Starting with their cheaper builds might be just what you're looking for

    For price checking, try www.staticice.com.au. Don't make the mistake of ordering parts from 24 different suppliers and forgetting shipping costs, or that it will take longer for parts to arrive

    I've recently put together a rig that cost just under $1400 (already had case, monitor, and kb/mouse) which plays Doom Eternal beautifully on ultra/nightmare quality. Can totally get something CoD/DOTA worthy for less :-)

    There's new video cards coming very soon too, so you'll maybe be able to get a good second hand deal on solid video cards in a couple months. Might be worth going cheap on a video card now with aim to upgrade soon. I'd say hold off til we see the cards, but if you hold off for next hardware iterations than you'll never buy anything lol

      Thanks for the tips mate. Do you have a build in pcpartpicker coz i wanna have a look at your build. I’m currently deciding wether i’d go for ryzen 3 3300x or ryzen 5 3600 paired with a gtx 1660 super.

        Put as much as you can afford to into the GPU.

    Tried to keep price low so he could buy better peripherals. He got the LG ultrawide monitor, Logitech G304 and Anne Pro 2 60% mechanical keyboard white with Kaihl box switch.

    On Pcpartpicker, don’t forget to change currency to AUD. We used ShoppingExpress, Centrecom and MSY.
