New computer
Don’t get a prebuilt.
Where are you from?
If you are dutch or from the UK, I can help you with a much better gaming system for your money.
I’m from the US >_<
That’s fine as well.
What is your budget?
I’ll have around $700 on the 28th, which was when I was planning on buying it.
Give me some time.
I’ll give you a list of parts.
Building your own pc is just like lego with cablemanagement.
Took a bit longer than expected.
Newegg changed their combo’s so had to find new ones.

There is a $15 off promocode on the cpu so the total is just under $700.

Hey, Xceptional, why dont buy a prebuild one? Even from those prebuild specialists?
If I’m in UK, where should I be looking?
Prebuilts lure customers in with a decent cpu and loads of ram while ram is the least (4GB for budget and 8GB for mid and high end is fine) important for gaming.
They then praise it as the ultimate gaming pc while they added a 35 buck graphics card resulting into barely running anything above low and are generally just overpriced.
Prebuilts also use very crappy quality parts in general.
Building your own pc should take about an hour to 2 hours depending on your experience and the complexity of the system (as in an office pc being a simpler system than a gaming pc)
My personal fav store in the UK is ebuyer.com
If you list your budget, I can help you out.
Note that I only help the lower budget people.
There is more of a challenge in that.

That’s pretty horrible for the price.
The pc from the parts I listed is significantly better in every way and $100 less.
Do realize that every single part has warranty and each of those companies have free helpdesks.

No PSU on there, unless that case has one.

There is.
Look at the Corsair builder CX600 V2
It’s a complete system.
Also, psu’s that come with cases are always poor quality.

hmm, my computer was 900 pounds
AMD Phenom II X4 965
8 GB RAM – Bought it myself forgot the manufacturer…
ASUS M4A78LT-M LE AM3, 2xDIMM, DDR3, PCIe-16, 2xPCI, 1xPCIe-1
Single Hard Drive (500GB SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache HDD)
700 Watts Power Supplies
NVIDIA GeForce GTX260 896MB 16X PCI Express
How much would you recommend I bought this myself parts by parts?
ps. I’m looking for upgrade, getting BSOD since playing GW2… They say its graphic issue.
It’s not realistic buying those parts these days.
List a budget and I will make a build for you.
600 pounds will easily get you a far superior system that will run any game on high (most on max) at 1920×1080.
not saying that building your own is a bad thing but there are people out there that dont what to build there own or have the time or knowledge to do one im one of those i just build buildings and dont have the time and or knowledge and would rather pay some one to do it right the first time and not get ticked off if i did it and it didnt work at all i know also if i built one i would have parts every where and never get it done

As mentioned before, it’s just lego with cablemanagement.
Bring the parts to a local computershop and let them assemble it if you don’t have the time or fear of messing it up wich is honestly fairly hard.
You will still have a far superior and higher quality system for the same price.
Just read the manuals.
Hell, I’ve seen a completely tech illiterate girl that only used laptops build a gaming pc in 1.5 hours live on cam a while back.

Thats a really nice build for the money. Definately agree with X
/ 2x XFX R9 290x in Crossfire
wow, can I have a list for 600 ones? Thanks!
Can I message you somewhere else to ask about this?
BTW, this game runs on pretty much anything, you just need good heat management as video card and cpu will be pushed to its limits on lower end pcs.

Sure.
I’ll look into it in a few.

Build 1:
Slightly more cpu power, a faster and bigger HDD and a nicer case but a weaker gpu.

Build 2:
Slightly less cpu power, less storage and a less good case but a more powerful gpu

Personally I’d go for the first build.
This is because the HD7850 can OC to the point where it can match a 7870, the case looks nice and has better features on the inside and guild wars 2 will benefit from the extra cpu horsepower. Any bit extra in WvW is nice.
Store is ebuyer.com.
Free shipping if set on 5 workdays.

Thanks man! I think I’ll go for the first one
No problem Phsky.
If anyone else needs help in the budget ranges, make a post in this thread.
I won’t be here much longer considering my account got terminated so today will probably be my last day on this forum.
