I would like to make my own gaming computer but buying the parts, and a budget less then $500 if possible?
Q. i don't have much experience about computers, but i'm only 17 and i just started looking into it
A. for $500 you will not be able to buy brand new decent gaming computer. BUUUT. Ebay has really great auctions for used gaming PCs i mean you can find them for 50% of what you would pay for brand new parts. I just sold my Gaming pc that cost me $1300 a year ago for $450+shipping and it runs every game out there.
Just make sure you get a decent enough video card. That is the main factor in a gaming computer.
Here are a couple of suggestions to save money that will give you an option to get a more expensive video card:
CPU:
when looking for CPU for gaming, MOST games do not use more than 2 cores, with some exeptions, so you can save some money by getting dual core a not quad or hex. Also most games will not use Hyperthreading.
MEMORY:
you do not really need more than 4gb ram for most games
Hard-drive:
you won't be able to afford SD drive so get an HDD. most hdd performance difference is negligable in games.
Sound Card:
No reason to spend money on it, since soundcards that are built into your motherboards are good enough.
Motherboard:
There is no real reason to buy an expensive motherboard if you are not overclocking and do not need a more complex south bridge. I would suggest looking into AMD setups since they offer better value.
Overall, if u have any question id be glad to help./
