What say you, guys? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectordream Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 If he just wants to buy it all made already I have heard good things about ibuypower.com My Mom ordered a gaming PC from them and was really happy with it. I was going to build mine but if I see a deal on here that I can't refuse then I could go with them. Even if he does not buy from them you can still put one in the cart and min/max things out. Check prices and get a list of components that you can buy elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 That's the thing, I don't know which parts to choose and keep it good and at the price he wants. Kind of hoping Dat drops in and works his usual magic. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vectordream Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Yeah Dat knows best haha. If all else fails this kid seems to know something. It's a good starting point if you can get through his vids lol. This is a short playlist of gaming builds ranging $400 and up. He also lists out the components for each vid in the description with links on places to buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeeKnuckle Posted June 21, 2013 Author Share Posted June 21, 2013 Nice. I'll shoot him the link. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark95 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 Is he comfortable building one on his own? I might be able to come up with a build with similar specs for a couple hundred less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skylark95 Posted June 21, 2013 Share Posted June 21, 2013 To summarize the IM I sent you, I would start by picking what you want for graphics and go from there.Tom's hardware does a good job of letting you know what is out there for the money, but there are plenty of other places to get an idea of what graphics power you want. Always check reviews look for what fps you may get with games.http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107.htmlA Radeon HD 7870 or 7950 might be the highest he can get with that price point. Nvidia has some card that may perform a little bit less for the same price (They seem to be going more for the high end graphics market with their new cards now) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
