suggestion on building a computer?

azka · Jan 17th 2014, 12:15pm

i want to start building my own computer, but i don't know what parts i need for it. can anybody please tell me what hardwares I'm gonna need to build a gaming computer that can be used to play heavy games like battlefield 4, and such? I'm for sure gonna be playing a lot of DayZ standalone, but just incase a good game came out on pc and it requires a high spec, i want to build the best that i can get for around 1000 dollar. i know that in my previous thread i said that money doesn't really matter, but if i don't set any range I'm afraid people's gonna start throwing in ideas for computer that will cost thousands of dollar lol

so please help me fellow bros!

edit:
i actually found a few computers for sale and the seller claimed that its good for gaming. I'm just gonna put the specs here, and leave you bros the experts to be the judge...

computer 1 around 600 dollar:

Looking at the first Computer already. You can basicly for few extra dollars build what I have as brand new.
Asrock Z77 Pro 3 motherboard
Intel Core i7-3770K
DDR3 8 Gigs RAM
Radeon HD 7870 GHz edition
HDD 1TB SATA

Or you can just look for people selling those parts individually and buy them used for even cheaper price.
This setup runs BF4 on high Graphics no problem, havent tested ultra and I actually play on Low due all the "eye Candy" making it harder to see the information I need.

As for the 1000 dollar Computer, the picture doesnt appear to be working.

if the picture isn't working you can actually right click on it and open it in new tab. anyway, thanks for the suggestion

Had to copy url to get it to work. That's pretty good pc, but you might be able to get it cheaper if you asseble it yourself.

do you think it can handle battlefield 4? if not, which part should i replace to make it able to run BF4?

My suggestion would be to avoid any PC if it has an Asrock motherboard.

why not asrock? what mobo do you recommend?

I asked on an indonesian forum, and they helped me a bit. two guys list down the specification that they think will work with battlefield 4. here's one of them, can you give me an opinion please?

oh yeah, i also noticed that many people suggested intel core i5. i actually find out that there is the newest (i think) version that is called i7? why didn't people suggested that? is there something wrong with it?

The i7 has been around for a while now and has many different/better versions but it is much more expensive than the i5 CPU.
Why not to use an Asrock motherboard? Because their motherboards are low quality and have a much bigger possibility to ''die''.
I would recommend motherboards made by Gigabyte, Asus or MSI.

is the difference between i7 and i5 big? if it is, will it be better for me to change it to i7?

and as for the specs that i list a few post above, what type of Gigabyte, asus, or MSI motherboard to replace the ASRock H81M-GL would you recommend?
damn, I'm really sorry that i am troubling you here

There is a large variety of i7 cpu's and good motherbords. It all depends on how much you are willing to spend.
The cost of a i7 cpu can go from 300$ to 1000$.

maybe 1000-2000 dollar? would that be enough?

For 2000 dollars you could buy a very powerful pc.
Though it would be nice to know from where are you going to buy the parts so I can look them up them for you.

if I'm gonna look for parts, it would be from an indonesian forum, kaskus, or from a shop. i dont think you can look it up for me if its in indonesian forum nor a shop. but thanks bro, you've been very helpful. I'm only going to have to figure out the specs first. gonna try to do it for under 2000 dollar if i can, because I'm still planning to buy a camera and a bunch of equipment for youtube. but the pc is not for youtube though, since im not going to have a gaming channel. but since both is only for fun, i can take it slow. i just dont want a pc that operates greatly only at first hahahha even though I'm only planning to play things like dayZ, gary's mod, amnesia and stuff. just want to make sure by setting battlefield 4 as the... what do you call it? standard? i dont know
