Gaming computer help?

Troup · Sep 14th 2012, 9:18pm

How's it going fellow bro's?

My name is Troup. And this is my firts forum post/ Thread I've done. Ever.

I am here in the help forun to ask you bro's to help me build a gaming computer. Yes, a Gaming computer.

I watched Pewd's Shoutout contest. And it got me thinking... I really want to earn fame on YouTube. On My Own.

But, to acheive this goal I need a computer to record with. The rig I have right now is an old HP prebuilt home desktop. And it can barely even run minecraft.

Can you bro's please help me build a desktop gaming computer for the cheapest amount. I need a computer that can record skyrim at max graphics.

I've been wanting to get a gaming computer and record and make YouTube videos for a long time now. I just never could Because, Mainly in my home normal income for the whole budget is about 40-100 Dollars a week.

Please Bro's I'm calling on the help of the bro's to help me do this.

Have a nice day bro's!

I'm not the best at this stuff, but yeah you're better off building your own computer like you said. You're gunna need a pretty good CPU and graphics card for recording and rendering. Also you're probably not going to need a giant hard drive (Unless you use fraps, those files are huge)

Troup · Sep 14th 2012, 9:29pm

Yeah, I'm not the best at building computers either. I have never tried before. Mainly for the fact that it is exspensive. But, I just need to get the cheapest that can do that.

What is your budget and i will find all the parts for you

I work with computers, so i've build quite a few

Troup · Sep 14th 2012, 9:40pm

I'm trying to get a computer that can atleast record skyrim at max graphics. I can't really come up with a budget at the moment. I just want to know what is the cheapest I can build that can record Skyrim max graphics.

I'm very sorry for being difficult. This is just my first time ever doing something like this.

But, thanks:)

try overclockers website there a really good shop and have everything to build a game pc

I fap on bros · Sep 14th 2012, 9:48pm

Windows 7/Vista/XP PC (32 or 64 bit)
Processor: Dual Core 2.0 GHz or equivalent processor
2 GB System RAM
6 GB free HDD Space
Direct X 9 compliant video card with 512 MB of RAM
DirectX compatible sound card
Internet access for Steam activation

Here are the base requirements bro. I would suggest a low end quad core, a motherboard to handle it, 4 gb of ram, and a 1gb video card just to play it with average video but, for what your wanting is gonna be at the very least $1000 for a desktop and at $1000 thats cutting corners. For what you want you want a moderate to high end quad, 6-8 gb of ram, high end motherboard to handle it, and a 2gb videocard and 500gb harddrive if your wanting to youtube...

Ps. Its alot cheaper if you build it because you end up paying for labor in the price when you order it

Troup · Sep 14th 2012, 9:56pm

@I fap on Bros

Can you link me to the all the parts for the price you were talking about?

I fap on bros · Sep 14th 2012, 9:57pm

Yea give me a little bit to round it all up Ill find all the parts you should need minus the screws you'll need

Troup · Sep 14th 2012, 10:03pm

Okay, Thanks alot bro! *BROFIST*

This has most of what you need and from what I can tell the i5 shouldnt have a problem running and the graphics card is good so this is a steal for alot of the necessities of a pc build

Heatsink :

newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065

Ram:
newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104292

and it seems it already has a fan put in the tower aswell.

So it seems your looking at about $539.97 without tax!!! which Ill admit thats a steal for a quad core and Im even surprised how cheap it is but make sure you have a DvI supported monitor aswell so total Im guessing about no more than $610 in tax depending on if they make you pay shipping aswell.

Hope this helps! *brofist*

So this is all I need to build a gaming computer? So, It can record skyrim on max graphics? If yes Sweeeet.

I fap on bros · Sep 14th 2012, 10:51pm

Yes it should because it has a 2gb video card and a processor to handle it If I had skyrim on my laptop I could tell you lol

Torro · Sep 14th 2012, 10:55pm

Yes, that one is pretty good.
Good luck with your gaming and recording, mate.

Troup · Sep 14th 2012, 11:34pm

Thanks alot bros!

Ive made a list of all the things I need to start record and putting out good quality videos.

The total is $887.93. Thanks again though *Brofist*
