Q. All I want in a gaming computer is super fast internet, amazing graphics, doesn't lag on games, and I can carry lots of memory. Please guys someone answer. I will give best answer to the best answer.
A. Well a gaming computer depends on your budget , as long as you pay more as you get better performance . Unfortunately you didn't mention your budget so i cant give you a specific build . The lowest gaming PC that can play games on Max / High settings on resolution of 1920 x 1080 is for at least 800$ . The gaming PCs are mostly depend on strong graphics card not the processor so you make sure to buy a High end card (( not less than 250$ )) and for the CPU any core i3 or AMD FX-4300 will do the purpose . About the fast internet you just need to have ADSL contract with a good company and choose the speed you want to have .
I will give you a random rig for 800$ :
CPU : FX-4300 (( 120$ )) / FX-6300 (( 130 $ ))
Motherboard : ASRock 970 extreme 3 (( 120 $ )) / 970 pro 3 (( 75$ ))
Ram : 8GB (( 2 x 4GB )) 1600 Mhz (( 70$ )) i recommend G-skill or Corsair
Vga card :Evga GTX 770 (( 410 $ )) / / Sapphire Vapor X 7950 (( 380$ )) / Evga GTX 760 (( 260$ ))
Power supply : http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028
For the high storage you need like 1 or 2 TB depends on your need and 1TB HDD is for 75$ so if you add more then double the price .
Any thing else like DVD player or Led light will be cheap and u can handle that yourself they won't exceed 30 $ .
I strongly recommend that you stick with Sapphire Vapor X 7950 due to its special cooling which will keep your card cool , silent and highly overclock-able . Many will say that you go for AMD FX-6300 as it has 6 cores and in the same price . In fact FX-4300 cores are stronger and most games use 4 cores not 6 so FX-4300 will be better , check this site for further knowledge http://www.cpu-world.com/Compare/293/AMD_FX-Series_FX-4300_vs_AMD_FX-Series_FX-6100.html
Also if you don't like AMD for a processor then your only chance is to go for Core i3 which will give nearly the same performance of FX-4300 and with the same price , Unless you have a higher budget that afford a Core i5 (( 180$ and above )) , but in this case i would recommend to invest more in graphics card so you get something like GTX 780 (( 660 $ )) or HD 7970 (( 500 $ )) . If you need any help send me an email . Hope i helped

What would be the best and cheapest parts for a gaming desktop?
Q. Apparently, I am not good with putting parts together, because the price for the things I've got listed is over 1000 dollars, and I have heard of people with amazing gaming desktops for less than 500.
I'm willing to spend between 600-1000. Under 600 or close to it would be optimal until I get a job.
What I have so far, is:
Monitor : LG - 24" Widescreen Flat-Panel LED Multifunction HDTV Monitor
Tower : Corsair - Obsidian Series 650D Mid-Tower Case
Power Supply : Corsair - Enthusiast Series 850-Watt ATX/EPS CPU Power Supply
CPU : Intel - Core™ i7-4770K 3.5GHz Processor
Ram : NVIDIA - GeForce GTX 650 Ti 2GB GDDR5 PCI Express Graphics Card
Fan : Corsair - Hydro Series H100i Dual 120mm Fan CPU Cooler
I don't know if that is all I need, but it turned out being extremely expensive.
My first question is, would this be a good gaming computer?
My second question is, is there a cheaper set up that would be just as good?

A. If your main purpose for your build is gaming, then I recommend getting the Intel 4670K instead of the 4770K, the reason why, is that there is almost no game on the market to date that totally takes advantage of Hyper-threading and in some cases it has been known that hyper-threading can actually drop your FPS in some games.
What I recommend doing with the extra $100 you would be spending on the 4770K and invest it in a better GPU, something on the lines of the GTX660ti or the GTX760. The GPU is were you will see the most improvement in gaming all together as games now a days are more GPU intense then they are CPU intense.
Other then that, very very nice build you have going. Also one other thing, if you want to throw a little more money towards a better GPU after saving the $100, you can get a PSU that has 600W and it will still be enough power to support everything you have. Now a days everything is about power saving not how much power you have like it was about 5 years ago. GPU's don't even use a ton of power like they use to.
Hope this helped you,
