i ordered all my parts today! i had a friend who is pretty knowledgeable help me out but i pieced all the parts together before based on all of your helpful info. thank you so much everyone!
http://pcpartpicker.com/p/VZzdt6 I made this build for you. The HHD is a little bit on the slow side to save some money. I would defenitly update it in the future, since it’s also rather small once you install some games on it. The SSD defenitly is big enough for Windows, office and your browsers. I wouldn’t install your games on it because it’s way to small for that plus to make it work longer. With the overlocked GTX760 you’re good for GW2. If you however want to play games like AC:unity I would consider upgrading to a GTX970 (Asus or MSI). If you want to go SLI I would upgrade that power supply to a 650M or even a 750M, just to be sure you can handle power spikes.
the parts i bought are very similar to this. my power supply is 750 though

You’re missing a power supply and not a fan of that CPU cooler. Sadly being after Xmas holiday my preferred choice of inexpensive air cooler, the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO is out of stock.

As for a PSU, this will suffice nicely.

i did hear that mmo need more cpu than gpu. this is the first time ive ever built a pc so im pretty clueless on what is best and what i need. if anyone good give me a list or link of all the parts i would need in my budget, that would be awesome
Something like this would work quite nicely for the game….plenty of other AMD & INTEL setups for around this price on newegg……would leave you enough for a decent monitor, too.

thank you! that price tag is definitley appealing. ill do some reasearch
1. Go Intel over AMD for the CPU. Individual core performance impacts overall performance more than going cheap with AMD and putting the bucks in the best GPU for your budget. Even the Pentium G3258 (unlocked dual core) can hold it’s own with most AMD CPUs with many more or slower performing cores in this game.
2. Don’t go cheep on the PSU.
3. see 1 and 2
You can peruse the budget builds at the following links for ideas. Don’t forget that the Microsoft tax (OEM Windows copy) is around $100.

You could pair down the cost of a mid line/mainstream build by dropping items like an SSD boot drive and stepping down to a slightly less powerful but more bang for the buck video card. Just don’t scrimp on the PSU, bad place to save a few bucks.
Earlier pages in that TechReport article suggest alternatives for each class of item needed in building a PC.
I’m sure others will come along and post their PCPartpicker suggestions.
cool!! thanks a ton!
Well buy an :
- i5 (mid/high end (& preferably an unlocked one if you wanto to OC)) (4th gen)
mid/high-end graphics card 770,970, or r9 280 <- is more important then your CPU
- 8 Gb RAM do not waste money buying high performance RAM if you do not wish to OC your PC
- A decent (gaming/ enthousiast) mainboard (Audio and LAN should be included in the package) If you’re just going to run stock do not buy a set with special OC abilities. make sure you have the needed sata connectors, enough USB ports and so on.
- A decent CPU cooler.
- Buy kitten (pref 256Gb) and a good HDD (1 Tb should suffice)If you buy a box make sure it has the right exterior connectors for audio, in a place you find easy to use. If you are placing your pc on top of your table, make sure the connections are on the botton, if you are putting it on the ground make sure you have then on top. If you put your pc on the ground make sure your PSU is cooling from the back, If it’s on the table it doesn’t matter too much. Buying and old box can be cheap but it is a shame to find you can only connect your USB 3.0 to the back just because there are no correct connectors on top…
Make sure you keep it clean. Dust causes errors and crashes due to dust bridges and will hinder the flow of air for cooling. the best 2 tools in the mechanical fitness of your pc are a can of compressed air and your vacuum cleaner.
Overclocking can provide some adiitional computing power, it is a trade though as your PC will use more power and the components will suffer in the long run. OC-ing voids warrantees. ALWAYS. You want to try it: NP, your gamble! OC-ing can destabilize systems and cause crashes, Also when buying and OC-ing a pc in winter, do not expect it to run as smooth in summer as ambient temperatures will rise and your PC will run hotter still! . A warmer computer will run SLOWER! we are at a time where your graphics card functions optimal at 80 C, and your processor as well.. you will need your cooling. more cooling tends to boost your performance.
If you gonna build yourself you should know you need
-Box
-Mainboard
-CPU
-cooler for CPU
-coolant paste
-RAM
-GPU
-STORAGE (SSD/HDD)))
-connectors (should be delivered with your mainboard.)A philips screwdriver, and some patience. If you handled computer parts already you should be familiar with dangers of static discharge, so make sure you work grounded and be carefull. Most things are idiot proof…
Lastly prices vary, prices are coupled to the exchange rate with the dollar generally. I can give you details to a very nice set for 850 euro, but if the dollar becomes a bit higher , all of a sudden the set could costs you 30-40 euro’s extra.
Thanks for all the info! i will probably be putting in on the floor because i am going to use my tv for a monitor until i buy a computer monitor. even then it will most likely be on the floor still. but if you can give me the detail for a set for 800-850 dollars that would be awesome!
So for the longest time ive played pc games on my laptop and its time for an upgrade. im new to pc building and i would like some recommendations for a gaming pc for gw2 and other mmos. i am hoping to be able to smoothly run the game on at least high settings with good fps. i would like to spend around 800 dollars but i am willing to push 850 or 900 if it would mean any significant increase in quality. thank you!
