first time buying diy computer, NEED HELP~!!

[apocalyps253]

hi guys as said above, first time here, I don't know what to do but I know I want a gaming computer at a budget of 1.4k.

I would really appreciate it if people can help me out with specific items and prices! so that I don't get conned at SLS when I eventually buy.

I had mixed opinions about getting an i7 or I5, which will be better for gaming, so hopefully people can advice me on that too thanks!

I had my DIY desktop a user here in HWZ from marketplace. Maybe you can consider finding him in IT Garage Sales

Otherwise, I'm pretty sure there are a lot of good bros here to give u advice too

Do you need OS, monitor, mouse, keyboard and speakers?

What games are you playing or intend to play?

 

[apocalyps253]

hi guys thanks for responses, yes I really need help from this good bros! if not I no choice have to get acer predator G3 liao....

hi, the link is dead

 

[apocalyps253]

hi srry for lack of info, yes I need os and speakers, no nd keyboard and mouse. I usually play league of legends I know its not a high end game but just in case I would like to stretch that 1.4k so that next time shld I decide to play a good mmo I would have beautiful graphics=p ya but generally I do not require ultra high graphics like in those fps games like crysis, cause I have motion sickness LOL, always see those fps graphics I will be giddy within 5 minutes

 

[ragegoh]

I bought mine for 1.2+k inclusive of OS.

And I play bf4

Bought mine from ithorlick.

^seconded
look for fotran, if you need his no. pm me.
not to advertise for him but the service he provide is really good. even if you just buy one single part from him he can help with with any problems.
price is good, can be lower than what u see in SLS.
been ordering all my parts from him since 2009, part of the reason is he lives a few blocks away from me

 

[apocalyps253]

hi guys! so u guys mean just give him budget and let him choose ar? haha cause if go sls I need go the parts so that I don't get conned lol

 

[thegamer1907]

just give him your budget, usage etc and he will reccomend you one of the cost effective builds for your budget.

 

[BlurKillerEX]

Yup, recommend Fortran too, just got my rig this Monday from him, contacted him in the morning and he delivered in the evening, helped me set it up, cloned hdd and have everything up and running within 30min.

 

[vitaminc1231]

I got my current rig from Fortran too few years back. Will be getting my next one from him too, very soon.

 

[thegamer1907]

great to hear that fortran is still famous in hwz for his good svc.
