Well, I have one more question will this build, have good fps on a game. For example like BF3, and I am recording how much FPS will this build handle?

I changed it a little bit, but it could handle it on at least high while recording, the GPU is the main component when it comes to gaming, more or less. I can't predict your exact results, but I can say this is a pretty sturdy build.

[Sarcasm] PSHHH Why are you buying all these parts? The stuff that really makes your computer go fast: RAM and LEDs, more the better, $1500's worth will make a fast and bright computer![/Sarcasm]

I'd definitely go for a smaller case.... the phantom is 25.74" x 8.74" x 21.32", and weighs 25 pounds... With the items in this build... a much smaller case can fit the components with great airflow.

Really, there is no cap at the amount of ram you can use.... if you get RAMDisk <3. I run all of my intensive programs off of it.

Can you suggest a motherboard/case that is good and works for this type of computer! Greatly appreciated, thank you for these suggestions

Honestly I would advise redoing the whole build :/ money isn't put where it is needed to...

A few of my disagreements as a system builder:

-Spending too much on the processor, as compared to the GPU.
-Buying 2 GPUs, just buy one that is better, to avoid micro-stuttering, and a host of problems
-The case, I mean its good, but $200 is steep for a hunk of metal.... I don't like how overpriced corsair cases are... since they really don't have many unique features.
-You might want to buy, say a MOTHERBOARD? Those are kind of important....
-If you are doing design work, at that price point you could consider a SSD

The fact that nobody even noticed that the motherboard is missing shows how much the people above me know about computers. (BTW Windows 8 isn't the devil that uneducated people make it out to be)

Nobody said that, not once, and It was specifically stated, you spend more on the graphics card than the cpu, and the motherboard is really just how much features you want, and the money you have....

Me personaly I would build a computer from parts as mine cost me about £150

The specs:

•AMD ATHLON x2 64 5600+ (2.9GHz)
•320GB Hard drive
•4GB RAM (3.6GB usable, motherboard only sees that much ram)
•ATI Radeon 6450 1GB (I think)

And I get 100fps on a 1024x texture pack with render on Extreme.

Honeslly that is just a complete lie, your card and cpu does not get those framerates on extreme with nonexistant 1024x1024 texture packs, please post honest information.

Did you even pay attention to my post? That was a 500 pound computer that would smoke that.

Looking at my post, shows that there is a lot of proof btw.
When buying from a manufacturer, they get OEM OS, a cheap 10 dollar chassis, and the cheapest, crap motherboard they can find.

Don't be an intel fanboy because you have no idea about computers, and listen to somebody who knows, AMD is better for price per performance, and if you are a novice builder, which you are, there is a much higher chance you will damage the motherboard pins on intel, because they are flimsier.
Your build on pcpartpicker is awful, the build is imbalanced, you should be spending about double on the graphics card than on the processor, and the motherboard shouldn't be more expensive than both, motherboards perform between 1-5% of each other, MAX, you buy it for features, and on a budgeted build, you shouldn't be that concerned about the features.

I am disgusted at your disrespect for somebody helping you, zaphod should not have to supply proof, it is a COMMON FACT, you WILL GET A MUCH BETTER DEAL on a custom built PC. Not to mention that HP and DELL are some of the WORST when coming to price for the product.

On a side note, don't try and call me a fanboy because I have an intel CPU, and an Nvidia graphics card, because my budget was much higher than that of yours.

Good day, and I hope you learned a little, and listen to people helping you...

GameTrotterHey ther interwebs, to save up for a new computer, I'm taking on a project (refered to in a later blog post) and I aim to earn at least alot of moolah from it. Im going to use this money to buy a new computer. I know a fair amount from computers (ALOT more than the average new england 13 yr old, but no too much in comparison too techhead adults) but not in framerate, as the computer I use is old and gets about 30 fps playing minecraft, and 15 fps recording. It also lags horribly while editing, something I love doing. So, how many FPS average would this PC get while recording Minecraft, and how would it perform generally?


For the build with a keyboard, mouse and OS, its truly OK, it won't perform too well, but it won't be garbage.

On the other hand, if you have a keyboard mouse and operating system I would build it and get something closer to this:

Agreed,
Assuming you already have a monitor, keyboard and mouse, but need an operating system,
try this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zmqj (Ram comes with mobo when ordered with newegg)
If you have, an os look into this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/zmuU

Not true at all.... the only $1000 processors are extreme edition and have a much longer span than that of a consumer level processor, not to mention that intel processors have not leaped very far since Nehalem.

COMPUTERS LAST JUST AS LONG AS CONSOLES, CONSOLES ARE VERY LOW END COMPUTERS, I hate when people say that PCs get outdated quickly, the fact is, yes something new comes out, but you will not have to upgrade every time the company does. A $600 PC will last just less than that of a $2000 one, just the $2000 will have Uber graphics for a few years...When you buy a new generation console, its a entry level computer, 2 generations behind, you just play on medium graphics, then as time goes on, you move over to ultra-low graphics, which is where xbox is at.

Listing the actual hardware will be more helpful... a 5 page list of your software for the hardware isn't that fun to read.

So if I did get that computer would it blow up or something? Also how do you tell what Sata each thing is? Because I would of guessed that the Motherboard was Sata 3 since it says "SATA 3Gb/s"

No, sata 3 is 6gbit/s and sata 2 is 3gbit/s, you will get slightly worse performance out of a hard drive, but if you buy a solid state later, you will regret going with sata 2.
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yZFD if you can get 576 pounds
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yZAD if you can get 640 pounds
I really think there should not be much more discussion, these are both very good builds, if you can get 640, you can get the top of the line AMD graphics card and processor, or 576 gets you the second top of the line on the graphics card and processor.

Trust me, building your own computer is not hard, and is very worth it in the end, the only real danger is putting in the cpu, which is hardly true on an amd platform, look up a youtube video, and in a couple of hours you will be very satisfied with your work and computer.

Tried again at making a custom one on PcSpecialist, since I don't plan on putting one together myself. How would this be for £561

Processor: AMD A10-5800K Quad Core APU (3.8Ghz) & Radeon HD 7660D Graphics

Motherboard: Asus F2A55- M LE: (M-ATX, DDR3, USB2.0, SATA 3Gb/s)

Memory: 8Gb Kingston HyperX Genersis Dual-DDR3 1866Mhz X.M.P(2 x 4Gb Kit)

Graphics: 2Gb Nvidea Geforce GTX 650 Ti - DVI, mHDMI, VGA)

Hard Drive: 1Tb 3.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s HD 7200RPM 32mb Cache

Also would this power source be enough?: 350W Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan

Edit:

Have just realized it is nearly the same to the one I posted at the bottom of the first page, apart from the better graphics card I believe. Oh well, it's still lightly better I think, isn't it? Or am I completely wrong?

You put an apu in the setup, and your hard drive is sata 3, but your motherboard is sata 2, I set one up quickly, it is 605 pounds, but I think if you save up the extra cash, it is very much worth it http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yZsA

Some of the people have have no Idea what they are talking about.... If you are buying a graphics card, don't buy an APU (made to use integrated graphics, basically an fx4300 without l3 cache), and don't use a 3470, as a 3570k is a better option for around the same price, the 550 is a generation behind the 650 (they just made it a year later, and the price is worth the kepler is worth the extra $10), these are budget cards, and you can do much better with $850, an example of one we built for my friend at $700 (USD that is)

With 850 you could even make a few upgrades, you could message me on skype if you want some advice. (tumber77)


http://pcpartpicker.com/p/w6oS is the build we made (we already had ram) We got a lower end chipset, so if you wanted something similar you would get 990fx & an 8350 which would be great upgrades, the kid had a really strict $700 budget, so we got a lower end motherboard, since motherboards are not much of a factor in performance, you buy them for features.

I don't know if its true, but you don't sound genuine, kinda like you are trying to be somebody you're not, if I am right, that would be my only suggestion, good luck in your world of youtube.

Maybe you work in the graphic design industry... (photoshop, and all other adobe/graphic design programs are optimized for macs) windows is lightyears behind in the creative department, and don't say I am a fanboy, because I don't have a mac, ipad or ANY idevice.
