Gaming Rig

[Toxin]

I'd prefer a premade gaming rig for $750 and less, the cheaper the better, obviously. Why premade? I have no fucking idea how to assemble two dozen parts and all the cables and whatnot. Unless there is a website that offers assembling service with it or something, I'd rather prefer to a finished rig. Advice please.

If you can play legos you can build a computer....

Its not even a dozen components...

The hardest thing about it is prolly applying the thermal past efficiently to have the lowest temps...I think mine has to much on and runs a little hot I need to open it up again..
Buy a corsair PSU to have plenty cable length

And go to the stickies to find out good PC help websites...

your in georgia i live in bama you order parts and have them sent to my address i build it then i box it up and mail it to you

It's his request to have it premade...deal with it.

Agreed and also you can get someone to assemble it for you like if there is a computer parts shop or store around you they often will assemble it for you.

If you go i5 it will take about 800 minimum!
A mid range C2Q or AMD could take you under 750..
Jazzy your comment is stupid. He doesnt want a prebuilt because he thinks he doesnt know how to build..which makes no sense cause with a little common sense anybody with a working brain can build a computer..
A total cart is 10 items with a cooler and TIM..common... Im not one to talk I used to think the same thing but like shadow said until you venture your self there you dont realize its not that big of a deal..

And he would have plenty of help here!!!

Anyway here is an AMD build which is nice

I did make a quick i5

(includes cooler and TIM which arent necessary if no OC, the i5 runs cool stock..so I read)

This is is my comp and as you can see its not the top end C2Q and cost about the same as the i5 but I had some parts already hence why I went with C2Q instead of i5.. I regret it

The 4860 is sort of interesting card..it was only supposed to be released in chine and somehow newegg started selling some...its a nice card stock and OCs quite well

There are some cheaper HDD out there you can look into..samsung, seagate etc
Corsair will be the cheapest good PSU

Unfortunatly none of these GPU are excellent but they are all good! If you want a better GPU you will have to lower the quality of other components to stay in your budget!

Here is the coolest link to show you what to do!! http://www.pcityourself.com/building/processor.php

Building a new computer look at this for other suggestions

Btw that 650 PSU just went up 15 bucks last night /sadface but as I mentioned in another thread
I quoted this from a newegg review

though wouldn't recommend for long term use... 2 x 5870's with an i7 920 overclocked to 4.3Ghz + 4 x 7200RPM HD's. It didn't blink while running benchmarks... but it got pretty hot.

which shows you how awesome and reliable corsair is!!!

Toxin has been here for a long time, i'm sure he's seen these comments before and i'm sure he doesn't give a fuck.
Instead, you should respect his opinion, not try to bludgeon it. There is a thread that shows how to build PC's, he wouldn't of came here if he wanted to learn how to make a PC, and even if he did, he wouldn't have to make a new topic.

but seriously, respect his opinion.

first of all, thank you for all the help. Thanks Jazzyy for trying to defend my point... or trolling.. and thanks to you trakaill, unfortunately i didn't completely understand what the difference between i5 and the AMD built is. But I might attempt to built it myself. With computers booming now, I think it would be a good skill to develop for the future. Quite a few questions though:
Confirm for me if I got this right

Motherboard - Controls and links all components of a computer, so the better the motherboard, the better the components will... flow?

RAM - Allows the computer to handle multiple tasks or a heavy tasks at a time, i.e. you can run several windows of a low or medium-quality game and a window of a high-quality game smoothly, correct?

Processor - No idea what it is for, explain here please.

Graphic card - Basically the better and the more on-board memory, the more smoothly graphical images and videos will the displayed, and the most important component when it comes to games?

PSU - Pretty self explainatory, the more the better, right?

Heat sink/Case - Obvious, the colder and the more airflow, the better.

Heat sink/Case - Obvious, the colder and the more airflow, the better.

Motherboard - Yes, but a better motherboard means you have better BIOS options (overclocking, etc) and the lesser chance of failure due to shitty parts (capacitors are the main culprit of motherboard failure).

RAM - It means how many processes can be running at once, in a nut shell. If you are going with 32bit windows, you will want at least 2GB. Ideally, you should be using 64bit Windows and have 6GB or 8GB. Faster RAM will allow applications and games to perform faster when video RAM runs out (games only).

CPU - The brain. The better the CPU, the more instructions it can handle per second.

GPU - Memory doesn't equate to smoother graphics. That would be the GPU clock (Graphics Processing Unit). You will want a GPU with at least 512MB RAM and DDR2 or DD3 RAM. A mid-range GPU will be fine for now.

PSU - More does not mean better. You want a solid name brand PSU. Corsair, Thermaltake, Enermax, Antec, etc. I run an Antec 1000watt PSU.

HSF/Case - The HSF will keep the CPU cool during high-load times. You want a case with decent airflow. More fans does not mean better airflow. Most often, a lot of fans interrupt the airflow and cause stale spots in the case that accumulate heat. I'd recommend a full-tower case as it gives plenty of room for all parts and is absolutely needed if you plan on getting a high-end video card, as those things are about a foot long.
