Hey guys! I'm here to help a friend out to build a gaming PC but is unsure of the parts I should pick. Mind helping? Peripherals not needed. OS needed
THANK YOU!
- Intel i7 CPU. Good for tasks like fast virus scanning (can use all 8 threads) and more and more games are multi-threaded.
- Xigmatek Dark Knight II cpu air cooler, can easily oc to 4.5ghz. Also very nice with blue glowing LED. and CHEAP. can get from Cybermind or other place.
- mobo just get from big three like Asus, MSI or giga.
- Cooler Master power supply.
- graphics card is your pick. Nvidia or AMD. If mainstream, just a RX480 8GB or GTX 1060 6GB will do for 1080p gaming nicely.
- storage wise, just get a cheap SSD from reputable brands. If super budget limited, get a Seagate 2 terabyte hybrid SSHD. Hybrid SSHD helps with boot up times and game loadings by a lot. Avoid traditional hard disk.
- if not power gamer, just get micro ATX casing like Thermaltake and micro ATX board will do. Easier to carry around too if need repair or re-locate etc.
