Building a pc

[Joshly98]

hey, I am going to look at building my own pc, made specifically for gaming. I was wondering, if anyone has any tips/advice, websites etc.... you could post here?

Thanks in advance

A computer isnt something we can help you, we can suggest you stuff but maybe if the game you want doesnt work you should not get mad at us
I like ATI Radeon HD 6850 or ATI Radeon HD 6870 as videocard, AMD Phenom li x6 as processor and maybe 4gb or 8gb as ram but its all up to you what you want to buy

This is a gameplay of Battlefield 3 with that videocard and processor i told you

Thanks for the help. Today I will start planning the parts to buy and where I can get them cheapest

I'd suggest at least 8 GB of ram for a gaming computer

RAM is bulk cheap these days anyway, so its worth buying as much as your motherboard wants to eat.
2 600, or 7000 series graphics cards are good too, as most games, (Not GTA), support CrossFire/SLI.

I'm running an AMD Phenom X6 1055t on an Asus M5A97 PRO 970 so I can always upgrade to the AM3+ chip like the bulldozers If I like it's a pretty good set up and relatively cheap too. As Sandman says Ram is cheap as hell too I can use 32gb of it lol But I think 8gb is plenty only cost me £40 for mine

processor : intel core i7 2600K ( buy the K version so you can overclock him )
videocard : nividia geforce gtx 550 ti
ram           : 6 - 8 GB
harddisk    : 1 TB ( 1000 GB)

thats what i would do

It all depends on your budget, is it $1000 or less is it $1500 or more. Probably i7, Radeon 6870 or 6970. I think its useless to pay $600 for a graphic card that cost $300 next year. I tend to buy bit older hardware so its not so pricey. 8 GB of ram is required for gaming, 4 GB is not enough. Think about case too, it should be big enough for future upgrades too. Same with power supply, it should be also powerful enough for future upgrades.
For example i bought a 1000W power supply just for the upgradeability for next few years. Oh BTW, WD greens sucks ass. and never ever defrag your SSD.

Like I said look at some parts at www.msy.com.au they are pretty cheap in australia. but then again if you can make it to one of there shops try looking online sometimes it might be cheap to import parts.
