Hooray! my family bought a new PC (at least the parts) the other day so on the 13th, my sister's boyfriend and I shall assemble it! hopefully this will allow me to have a higher average MMR. Not sure on all specs yet but its got 8 GB RAM and a TB of hard drive, I'll try to update this with the parts as I learn of them

 

OS

Windows 7 (obviously)

 

Case

Corsair Carbide Series 200R

 

GPU

NVIDIA Geforce GTX 750Ti

 

CPU

INTELCORE i3

What if we just give some bacon paint, some bacon holo-emotes and change Bunker from snow to bacon.

 

This way, everyone will be happy.

What you should really do, is replace your parts with bacon, so you can cook games and eat bacon

Obviously the wallpaper would be cooler if bacon was incorporated into it.

Solid budget minded gaming machine, will hold up for a few years at decent settings.

Which i3? I'd personally have recommended at least an i5 for a gaming rig.

I3 is excellent for budget gaming. I've ran an i3-2120 for nearly 4-5 years and has powered through whatever I've thrown at it. Only recently picked up this i5-2320 because it was free.

Sure, but most i5 aren't a huge price hike from their i3 counterpart and offer a lot more power and longevity.

 

But yeah well, not that i3 is particularly underpowered, it's good enough for most things.

AMD master race! No no. Jkjk. That card still holds up. Especially in games optimized for Nvidia. If I knew which i3 you had I could berate you and then say jkjk and remind everyone that only a few games really use the CPU. My old Athlon II x4 610e is still pushing games very well. I know this because the guy I sold it to is stunned at it's continued performance. And any current i3 is better than that chip.

the i3

I think its 4160, at least thats what the box says.

 

 

my family upgraded our internet recently to a level the ISP's site says is good enough for gamers and streamers, but that remains to be seen, they also say we are in a "dead zone" so well see howw it goes

As far as the quality, I know it aint top notch and trust me,  when it is time for my own rig, I'm gonna be throwin more money at it. My dad just got a new grill though (first time in 15+ years) and BBQ's can eat through the budget pretty quick. Either way, even though it may not seem that advanced,  8GB of ram is a big step up from 2.

Core i3 4160, a 3.6 GHz dual core with hyperthreading is very respectable, gaming should be wonderful on most modern games, provided the 750 Ti can hold up. Maybe an i5 down the road, but unless OP might dabble in media content creation and editing, an i3 should be sufficient, maybe an i5 later for next gen games but nothing more than 4 cores needed really in many many games.

Don't worry about top notch ever. That's an endless pit of wanting. Focus on getting the most power for every dollar you invest. You'll be very happy every time simply because it will surprise you. You're build is great and can stand with the best. A GPU upgrade in a year or so would be ideal, but not necessary. The 960 or R9 270 would give you great performance at an awesome price.

When it comes to PC building, there will always be more you can throw in there, but most of that stuff just enhances the experience.  What you've got now is a great start for a gaming rig that will outperform most console systems.  Plus, as you'll no doubt learn...the best part of being a member of the PC Master Race, is that you can always scale up as needs require and budget allows. 

 

Nothing sweeter than firing up your rig for the first time!  Enjoy!

I've used the 750 Ti in several customer systems. It is a decent budget gaming video card. It is capable of running most modern games in mid settings. A few will require low settings and some will allow high. Most older games will let you use max settings with it. It is not a high end card but it is good enough for gaming. Remember this those that would put his system down. There are people with $5000 PLUS systems who think yours is crap, lol. You buy what you can AFFORD. I'd love to have a TITAN black video card. Will I get one? NO, no chance in hell of affording it. I'm on disablity. I got the decent system I have now (see my profile) with 10 years of slow climbing up work. So chill. Bacon I am glad to hear you get to move up bro. Good on ya. Good luck and have fun! :yes:

Come on Crafty, you have been officially called out on your lies. Your online reputation is at stake here, this is just like an old school street race running for pink slips. Its run what you brung and hope its enough. Put up or shut the fuzzy bunny up.
