Need help for a new gaming rig

[JuMbOfaT]

Hi there, as I look thru this entire forum.. I am so so lost.. hope someone can help me do the thinking and analysing based on your knowledge and expertise that I so lack.

My budget will be about $900. I would need a good chassis and ventilation system. No need to buy HDD, disc reader and gaming peripherals as I can reuse my old one. No need for original windows as well.

Do help me out! <3

Ty Roy, haha, it sounds so chim. Can break down for me what is for what part? Also, what kind of gaming performance will I be able to handle with this built and how long can it last me roughly?

 

[royfrosty]

Mobo: Asrock b75m dgs + cpu: i5-3350p ~ $271
Ram: Crucial 8gb 1600mhz ~ $89
Reuse HDD if you have one.
Gpu: Zotac gtx760 2gb amp + psu: superflower hx500 500w 80+ gold ~ $429
Chassis: Nzxt h230 silent chassis ~ $109

You can handle high to ultra settings on certain games.

Games like bf4
Diablo3
BioShock infinite
Cod ghost
Tomb raider
And many more.

But take note that a com will not last long. Upgrading will make the com last longer in the long run.

 

[JuMbOfaT]

Hi Roy, ok ty for the input will look into it. I went to input my current com specs.. Is it able to be salvaged or might as well get a brand new com?

back to topic, other than Roys suggestion, based on my current setup written on the right, what should I change and to what to increase my performance? Computer is always crashing and auto restarting.

Bro, try a Ssd. As of now can consider plextor 128gb.

 

[JuMbOfaT]

ok noted on the SSD, is my PSU ok? What should i add if i want to make my computer less hot and noisy when it is running?

 

[royfrosty]

How old is the PSU? If it is 3 or more years might wanna consider a new one.

can just buy the gpu first and try out the games you want, if satisfactory don't have to upgrade the rest of your parts except power supply maybe

 

[JuMbOfaT]

Ok but my current mobo can last me how long more before the new hardware parts can't be fitted in anymore?

Also, is there any benefit of buying an original windows?
