Build Your Own Game Computer

build your own game computer

What components do i need to build my own computer?

Im going to have my buddy build me a gaming rig. I need to know what i need for the computer so he can build it “ie: everything that goes inside. You can also give me your reccommendations on which graphics card, processor..etc..

Thanks in advance

a computer consist of 8 main parts and they have to match to each other.

- the case
- a power supply unit
- a mainboard
- a CPU, cooler + fan
- memory
- a graphics card
- a hard drive
- a CD/DVD drive

here’s a suggestion for a gaming PC
Case: Antec 300 ATX Mid Tower $70
PSU: Antec BP550 Plus ATX12V $65
*CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955
*Ram: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1600
*Mobo: ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX
*Combo price $339
GPU: HIS Radeon HD 5770 1GB GDDR5 PCI-e 2.0 x16 $165
HDD: Western Digital Caviar 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s $100
CD/DVD: Plextor 24X DVD/CD Writer SATA Model PX-880SA LightScribe $47
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit $105
total: $891 (all parts from Newegg)

as this example shows it’s not cheaper to build your own PC if you need to buy an operating system. an almost similar PC of off the shelf cost +$50 but has the better graphics card + keyboard and mouse.
