DIY A New Gaming PC

[katsu88]

Hi all, I am newbie here looking to build a gaming pc with the budget of $1,200 as i do not have much knowledge to build a gaming rig. I hope that the gaming rig can last me for a few years. The games that i am playing are dota 2,some chinese mmorpg,future fps game and streaming of youtube video. I do not need monitor, mouse,keyboard or speaker.


Appreciate your recommendation please.

Anyone can help me ?

base on your current spec on the side.. i dont think you need an upgrade axcept the gpu...

 

[Anarky]

Agree with mib500, you probably only need to upgrade ur GPU, I'd recommend Nvidia 970 since you're probably playing at 1080. If you feel you'd like shorter loading screens you could up your SSD capacity and install games into them as well.

Ssd not only improved window load , it improved loading files and mmo game map and installation

Hijack to ask questions

1) for the requirements, isn't the GPU overkill? GPU don't last that long anyway, and future games that require that kind of power will be cheaper in the future also?

2) Reddit keys still reliable? IIRC there's news on Microsoft cracking down on them
