What are the best components for building a $700 gaming PC?
Logical Increments, the PC Builder's FriendThere you go…honestly I don’t recommend a TV…they’re usually pretty poor in the Graphics Department Display (Screen) Resolutions - What Does Resolution, Aspect Ratio, ppi Mean For Your Smartphone, Tablet, TV, or Monitor is an in depth explanation for this.The question is what is your Screen Resolution on that TV? If it’s 1080p or less then get an RX480 from AMD or GTX1060 (For GPU) 8 GB of RAM is minimum Recommended for Gaming (New Games), Get the Roswell Challenger Case it’s a good one (Saves you some $, as for Thermal Paste Arctic Silver 5 is what I recommend but Top 5 Best Thermal Paste for 2016 - Nerd Techy shows some good info. Honestly a 4 Core CPU is minimum I’d recommend. If you’re up for waiting on it a bit when the New AMD processors come out for DDR4 we should see some interesting pricing…Usually waiting is always best when you want best performance for your $. But currently as stands, just make sure if you’re choosing a CPU from their chart you choose the right motherboard as well. (AMD CPU doesn’t work with an INTEL mother-board or vice versa)… Power Supplies generally get the Power Supply on the same box as the Video Card….Also for speed get the SSD option install the OS on the SSD and get a big cheap drive to install games to. (This means you’ll have to tell the games to install there since default is C:)But for gaming the Graphic Card is always were the Big money should be spent! Don’t fall for the (i7 group unless you’re doing rendering/video editing), Gaming an AMD FX6300, i5 (older gen) Newest gen i3-6100 (quad threaded/dual core) is sufficient CPU wise for most gaming experiences.So simple build: RX480, i3–6100, GIGABYTE G1 Gaming GA-H170-Gaming 3, 2x4GB DDR4 RAM Kit at Minimum, pick up the 240 GB SSD (in case you want to install a game or two on it since windows 10/8/7 takes ~60 GB) I’d recommend the ones you always play that are intense like Division/Battlefield 4/Crysis 3/Black Desert/Skyforge/Star Citizen/etc. If the loading screens take a while then I’d play it on an SSD, if you really don’t want the hassel of setting up a C: and D: drive then get a big SSD and don’t buy a HDD… (Easiest but not cheap a good deal on an 1 TB SSD is around ~$230)So adding all this up: it’d be ~650 for the system with a 240 SSD and a 1TB HDDPrices fluctuate, so good luck!
I want to build my first PC?
Motherboard: Asrock H61M-VS3 Motherboard 2 memory slot 1600 Processor: Intel Pentium G2030(Ivy Bridge) 3.0 GHz dual-core 64-bit Graphic Card: Palit GeForce GT630 2gb DD3 128-bit RAM: 2x 4gb ddr3 ram PC-1600 HDD: Seagate ST500DM002 HDD 500GB SATA PSU: Across ATX 600W power OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit this will be my first time so I don't know if it will work. will it run HD games?
What is the ultimate PC mod/build?
Thanks for the A2A. I really won't know much about this because I've only ever built a system once. For my parents, nonetheless! In any case, for productivity (which I'm sure includes graphic intensive games and higher end processing), I'd suggest the following:1) A liquid nitrogen cooled CPU (preferably a Haswell chip) which maxes out at anywhere between 4-6 GHz. So badass.2) Get 16-32 GB DDR4 (or 5) RAM. Screw swap space or whatever that is. Hell, if you could, you'll install the damn game on your RAM!3) Get the latest NVIDIA chip, a GeForce GTX Titan. Because this is not the graphic power your game deserves, but the one it needs right now.4) As an after thought, throw in a 1, or maybe even 2 TB flash drive. Why, you ask? Just because you can. There you go. You're done!I'm not saying this will be pretty. I'm not saying this will be cheap. You might even have to sell your and your gaming buddy's kidneys for this. All I'm saying is that Battlefield 4 would run smoother than the adrenaline in your brain.For beauty, I'd probably go with a vanilla Macbook Air. No mods. Just a plain, elegant engineering sight to behold.Of course, these are my opinions. When it comes to customizing, you could go from something like thisto THIS!
What is the best PC I can build with £200/$245?
With that amount of money you might want to look into build yourself a PC out of used server parts. I recommend going with two Xeon CPUs.I recently built a $135 gaming PC with two L5420s following the LinusTechTips guide:Under $150 Budget Gaming 8 Core CPU, Motherboard & 16GB RAMIf you want to save as much money as possible, that would be a viable option.Another, perhaps more practical option would be to purchase an i3–6100 and a used motherboard. When building budget computers, always look for good deals on used/refurbished tech. I wouldn't recommend going the AMD FX series route- their performance just isn't good for the money, especially when compared to budget Intel options.IMO, you'd be better off waiting for AMD’s upcoming CPU, Ryzen. You can expect for its pricing to be a little more wallet friendly, and it's supposed to be a much better bargain for people on a tight budget with reasonable performance needs. Also, it's release is expected to cause current CPU pricing to go down.GPU wise, an RX470 or GTX 1050ti is probably your best option right now. You can find these cards for as little as $119 on eBay.Above: RX 470 benchmarks from miscellaneous games @1080p. Not too shabby for a $119ish card.Whatever route you decide to take, remember to look for good deals on secondhand products, and don't be afraid to wait a little while till you can find that perfect price….and chip!Happy building! :)

How much money should I have to buy a computer to play games like Arma 3 and Insurgency?
Insurgency runs on a potatoe.Just make sure your computer has some kind of GPU in it. I could even run it okay (30fps) on my i3–6100 without GPU.Arma 3 is a different beast though. You’d need at least a GTX1050 for it.When you build your PC yourself, you could get one for as low as 500$ though (Pentium G4560 + GTX1050ti + 8GB RAM).
Is this a good laptop for games like BF3, BF4, and Arma 3?
Nah, I just checked it out. Since it has integrated graphics card (Intel HD 4000) it isn't ideal for running high-end games such as BF3 and BF4. I'm not too sure about Arma 3 since I haven't seen it before. If you do get this laptop, the games will most likely lag and MAYBE playable on really low settings. The memory is fine, the processor is okay but the graphics card is lacking. (My friend has a computer just like the one that you want to buy except a different screen size and he can run Skyrim but on low settings). Try to find a laptop with a good dedicated graphics card. If you're good with computers, get a custom built computer. You could get one from the 500 to 700 price range that can run high-end games well. Here's a sexy laptop from futureshop that hits 700$. http://www.futureshop.ca/en-CA/product/samsung-samsung-15-6-laptop-grey-intel-core-i5-3210m-1tb-hdd-8gb-ram-windows-8-english-np550p5c-s03ca/10235322.aspx?path=74833d1e71655e9e95e8633b88e85e6ben02 Great for gaming with 1gb dedicated graphics
