Guys I Want To Try Build My First Gaming Pc So Here Is The Specs Is It Enough

How did you make money to build your first gaming PC?

By selling most of my past gaming lifeI was a console gamer for 10 years, starting out with the PS2 and then getting an Xbox 360. It quickly became apparent that my gaming lifestyle is expensive with all of my pocket money going into buying games for the xbox. It just became unsustainable.So my decision to move to PC gaming was primarily that I could pirate games easily. After researching what I needed to run most recent games at 720p at low-medium settings, it came time to buy the goods.I sold my xbox, sold all the games, the peripherals. That gave me around 13k. My grandparents had given us (my brother and me) 5k each for our birthdays. That makes it 23k.Since I didn't need a monitor (because I had a TV from the console days) I invested everything into the PC. Got the AMD 6300 (mid-level) and Radeon 250 (low end) and all the rest within the budget. Didn't bother with windows because I got a pirated version of it. Basically, my build was the definition of budget.As for the games, I only pirated maybe 3–4 games in the beginning but otherwise, since I got a job and discovered the Steam sales, I have nothing but a legit collection of games. The job also allowed me to get a Nvidia 960 and a Logitech G27 wheel.So if you want advice for funding your rig, you should definitely work for it. You could try and get it from family but then you won't have that feeling that this machine is yours, your baby. Having spent the money on it, working to build it, and then seeing it turn on for the first time was the most satisfying and joyful experience yet.

I am building my first gaming PC. Are these components good?

Your choices unfortunately don't really give you or me an idea of their qaulity. A little know secret is that many of the name brand items (like video cards and SSD drives) are not built by the names on the brand. They license other to build and distribute their products. This means that the same video card could be built by a dozen or more companies. Of course some of those companies are good solid manufacturers with good quality control and others like Foxconn, build everything in house so they can keep the qaulity and price as low as possible. So a nvidia 970M from lets say PNY will be a good card but the same 970M from Foxconn wont deliver the same benchmarks nor will it last as long. same go for your motherboards. just because they same they do the same thing doesn’t mean they do it as well. it all comes down to who was the ODM on that parts. Find a place that assures you and stand behind the buying on their part of only Tier 1 parts. This doesn't mean they will never fail but it does mean your getting that part from a licensed dealer who values qaulity more than their cost.if you see two parts and one is much less than the same part somewhere else, it is likely because they went with a Chinese low QC company like Foxconn.Laptop Quality and the quality laptopwww.m-techlaptops.com
