New Gaming PC? Help please

So I am going to buy a new gaming pc later this year but I was wondering if anyone could help me? I already have a keyboard, mouse, monitors, headset, etc. so all I need is a new PC. My range is around $1500 and I would really appreciate if anyone could leave a newegg link to make the process easier or just give me some tips thanks :D

 

just go on pcpartpicker and look at some pre-builts within your budget

 

I would recommend building your own PC. I already finished building mine and before I built I had 0 experience. Look up videos while you're building it though.

To be honest, if your budget is around 1500$ that's amazing. Here are my recommended parts

This setup could run literally any game. With the graphics card + the processor, it would run:
GTA V Ultra Settings @ 60-120 fps
CSGO Max settings @ 200-400 fps
TF2 max settings @ 500 fps (guessing)
Minecraft max settings @ nearly 1000 fps
It's just a beast, and it's in your budget. You're welcome :P

 

CPU
Motherboard
PSU
Case
SSD
HDD (Get 2 of them)
RAM
GPU

Altogether that comes to around $1350. I didn't add an OS (~$100) as I wasn't which one you'd want, so I left some headroom there.
The other $50 can be spent on other things you may need that I didn't include like an ODD, wireless network card, aftermarket CPU cooler, etc.

 

Of course macbooks aren't suited for gaming.
Team Fortress 2 runs on the Source engine, which is 12 years old, and Minecraft is simply Minecraft, any good cpu can handle this game at 300+ fps in a PC.
My desktop is worth 1k dollars and it's so dang beast compared to the performance you would get in a macbook, plus you barely got any games for mac on PC. Yes, I do know there is like a big list of macbook games in Steam, but they are only like 1/6th of the whole market.
While your mac runs Minecraft at 60fps in 1080p, mine can easily outperform it with SEUS Ultra shaders on. It's just not worth it.

 

I had my PC pre-built with parts that i wanted in it. My computer however cost me about 1800 dollars to build, and plus with the keyboard and mouse it cost me 2000. My suggestion is pick the parts that you want the most, and talk to professional computer technicians to see what they would recommend

 

If you want to build a PC, @PickklesUniverse's build is pretty good.

If you want prebuilt, I'd reccomend the Ironside Nemesis

P.S. you will need a wireless adapter if you want to connect to wifi though.

 

I recently got a nice machine at $1200 from Cyberpower;

- Cooler Master N300 Case
- AMD FX 6350 6-core CPU
- AMD Radeon R9 390 8GB Graphics card
- 2x4GB DDR3 1866mhz RAM
- 240GB Kingston SSD
- 1TB SATA HDD
- Corsair 750W PSU

Note that the price included the build and the monitor. With your budget, I recommend stretching to the FX 8350 or 9590.

 

pick the parts you want the most!?

no john i regret this wont work

You could find a good MSI PC in that range.

 

If you want a gaming computer, DON'T get an Apple computer.

 

How the hell can you recomend a MAC for gaming ??
First of all, MAC is shit at gaming, runs games really bad, and dosen't run ALL the games out there. Second, the price is overrated to mac, so your spending good money on shit.

I would reccomend you this :
Nvidia Gtx 970 256 bits (any, just not OC if you don't do OC)
8-16 gb of ram
Any motherboard that's 100$ up and supports your components and ram
HHD of 1-2 terrabites and a SSD if you want. You can get a SSHD if you feel life it, it will load games faster on a SSHD but it's more expensive
And i7 .
Also make sure that the source is 600W or bigger. I would recomend 650-700W.

One more thing: DON'T get a AMD unless you want the sistem to be 53425342 degrees C. Nvidia is better


(Sorry for shitty english)

 

I have an AMD CPU and an AMD GPU, and its at sitting at 37 degrees with the stock cooler. Please do your research before advising someone what to spend their money on.

 

I actually have a brand new Mac. It is a 2015 15 inch macbook pro. And that is what I use to play Minecraft with.

 

Building on this, maybe go for the 390X. It's a step up from the 390 and you'll appreciate the 8GB memory.

 

Man, NVIDIA is no better than AMD and vice versa. It just doesn't work like that.
When will they understand...

The 390x is way more expensive than the 390...

Instead of getting a dual WD blue 1tb why not going with a higher-end ssd with the other money?

You could get this instead and get what, about 1500$ with a 1tb ssd?

 

Because SSDs aren't very good for storage if you constantly want to keep over/writing them. SSDs are best used if you want to put some data on it (like OS) and then leave it. That way it stays fast. Otherwise, it slows down in speed rapidly.

And no, the build would result in $1600, over his budget.

 

You want him to dump a 390x for a 1TB SSD? O.o

 

>390X is only $50 more
>Calls it too expensive
>Suggests something that costs $250 extra

 

omg brb changing my future build on pcpartpicker
