Student Budget Gaming Build !

[dryden97]

ive always wanted to build my own gaming pc, but im on a budget of 1.5k.

I am starting from scratch, with nothing at all, so i would need monitor and keyboards. i play games like Counter Strike Global Offensive(CSGO).

Can anyone recommend a mid range build? so maybe i can upgrade easier next time .

OIC, is it mostly FPS or just CSGO?

 

[dryden97]

Mostly fps games.

 

[l_o_l_i_l_i_k_e]

FPS games are quite intensive on GPU, you may want to increase your budget a little

Btw, Doom coming out next month. You getting it?

Mouse and Keyboard is personal preference, go touch and feel urself
If only playing CS:GO, GTX 960 will do else get GTX 970 if u playing other intensive FPS games.
Or u can get GTX 960 first, then wait for Pascel/Polaris GPU to come.

just curious, the ram selling in Lazada is single rank, but pct one selling is dual rank. got any difference? price diff is around 10 bucks.

I google but don't understand

Oh ok, then I think a GTX960 2GB will do.

 

[dryden97]

Anyone got any other builds to recommend? i do want an ssd but i only will install 2-3 games plus os and some other small programs so i think 250gb would be more then enough .

So how many days/weeks will it take to buy each item separately with all the discounts applied?

Seesh...
