Help on building a gaming pc

[Kira29125]

Hi guys, im new to building PCs and i have never build one before, i want to built a entry gaming PC? Roughly budget about $300-500, not sure where to buy the stuffs as well as what to get.

Also is it possible to have a gaming PC that can be upgraded anytime, like buying new part and replacing the old one? As i may want to upgrade it and not to start from scratch again.

Please help me out thanks. Hope you guys are willing to help me out here. Thank you, also thank you for spending your time reading my post

A few games i would like to play are
Watchdogs
GTA V

xbox 360 is worth ~$200
xbox 360 Classifieds Ads in Singapore | 181+ Results Available | Gumtree Singapore

PS3 around that price too.

If you get a console can buy some second hand games too with your budget.

If you want to save, then have to compromise performance. If you want performance, you have to spend. Take note that Roy's build probably can support up to med settings 1080p on bf4

Lol save more money is better than to buy a subpar pc and make you spend more later.

300-500 with monitor how can!

 

[Kira29125]

Guys, if my budget nw is 1-1.2k tts for the com, the monitor price is excluded, can i get a entry/ average gaming com?

Hard to put in GTA5 on ur list as that may need a monster gpu. But with your budget, u should be able to play current games at 1080p with 60+/- fps or so, except for watchdog.

If manage to play watchdog and/or gta 5 wats the rough budget

 

[shadow84]

Right now, reviews are showing that watchdog needs 4Gb VRAM. So, you need r9 290 cards which are at least $600. If the game is optimised better, maybe cards with 3GB VRAM can play it smoother.

As for GTA5, u can go to the future and tell me bah, den i advise which card is good for it.

 

[Kira29125]

If i want to push the com till it at least can play watchdogs at its medium graphic... Can i have a rough budget pls?

 

[shadow84]

Around 1.5k-1.6k including monitor...
