Q. i want to know what i would need to build a gaming DESKTOP computer under $700. i am really new to this kind of stuff. i am a console gamer, but i find it too easy and want more of a challenge. i know somewhat of the things i would need. such as a video card, motherboard, RAM, etc. but i am not sure what will give me the best performance for the money i am using. i will be looking to upgrade it later on in the future with faster and better performing things. but i really dont know what some of the things are used for. for example, what is the motherboard for, and why that one and not another. and if they are campatible with the other parts of the computer. also i want all performance, not really for the looks. so cheap affordable case would be nice that would last me a decent amount of time. ive also been doing research but there are a lot of mixed reviews about everything, and to a new guy like me, all these letters and numbers are confusing, so some explaination to some of the meanings of things that the parts have, would be very helpful, or if i could get a website where they give a good explaination about everything. i have read a few but they mostly just say what the item is and how much , but they dont explain how this could be better than any other part of the same price range and performance. i also will be mostly playing games such as battlefield, cod, halo (if it comes to pc), minecraft, runescape, skyrim etc. thank you so much, i am asking for a lot, i might as well ask if someone could build it for me. thanks!
also, i would even get the alienware x51, but i have a strong feeling that is might mostly be a rip off and not worth the money at all, all looks and no performance, but knowing if its any good would be great!

A. I checked Ironside. No bargain there.
A gaming computer is:
Case, Motherboard, Keyboard, Mouse, Power supply, CPU, Graphics card, cooling fans, DRAM, Operating system, Optical drive, HDD[s], audio output (speakers or headset), monitor/display or TV.
Gaming is mostly in the Graphics card.
Most show here:

and the CPU is on the first tab.
Gaming summary, is matching the nearest benchmarked card to this:

AMD FX-8120 3.1GHz is a bit of a waste because it has more cores than gaming can use, but it is OK. If building your own, FX-4100 is good enough and then try to unlock and overclock.
HDD is 1TB SATA II - would prefer Sata III
Has a decent AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB
is a cheaper motherboard with Fast (10/100) ethernet instead of gigabit, 6 channel audio instead of 8.
The HD 7750 of the one costing $20 more is a lower grade graphics card. 5 channel audio and gigabit ethernet. I would get the $700 one first.
The Alienware X51 is next to impossible to upgrade because the case is too small.
The $700 and tax
2nd Generation Intel® Core� i3-2120 (3M Cache, 3.3 GHz) is no better than the newegg CPUs and probably a little lower in actual gaming. 1GB GDDR5 NVIDIA® GeForce® GT 545 is much lower than the HD 7750, and that is lower than the HD 6850. HDD is still SATA II they throw in a $25 wireless card. and use a $15 power supply 240W External Power
It is a P.O.S.
Not as good as a $530 one at Newegg.

A HD 6670 approximates GT 545
FX-4100 approximates Intel i3-2120
The PSU is better, includes a keyboard + mouse, and just a smaller HDD. The Alienware is worth $575 not $700
The HD 6670 is probably not strong enough for you. See the chart of gaming. It is about a GT 555M equal. You can build your own, but the $700 Cyberpower is made with about $650 worth of parts.
On Build your own, use HD 6850 or HD 6870 or HD 7770 or GTX 560 ti
Use an FX-4100 or i3-2120 or so
Find a decent 650Watt power supply
You pretty much match the $700 system with tweaking the numbers.

This kit at about $600 or so, is missing Windows 7 and only has the 128GB SSD, but is about right overall.
This one also

needs windows 7 and eventually a second HDD but is about right.

Computer mouse/keyboard help?
Q. Hey guys! So I built this gaming desktop and Ima gamer, and after building this computer I just got a basic keyboard and mouse however I'm running to the problem of losing grip, they keys on the keyboard are becoming wared out so like... I try hotkeying something and sometimes i'll slip off the key, and my mouse is just basically the same way, you just slip a lot causing it to be harder to aim/move stuff like that, anyone know any good gaming mouse/keyboard or just something with good grip? Price range? doesn't really matter.. although I would very much like it to be under $100 bucks... lol Thanks ^^
A. lol dont buy into gaming mouses, i have always gamed with the 99p mice that microft or logitec make they are light last a while and dont hurt ur hands, i find gaming mice are way too bulky and dont move and for £30 they are a rip off, my keyboard is also basic logitec, id recommend these becasue with gaming stuff i havent really been that thrilled with it and have mostly taken it back also if u buy the standard stuff n u sont like it its only like £5 so its no biggie, ive never had problems with slipping off a mouse, is the mouse really big, or are u not sitting properly, but seriously just buy standard stuff, its designed to be used in offices for hours at a time so they are much better for ur hands than a gaming mouse

this is sort of what i use also ge ta mouse tha tis as flat as possible, its much more comfortable
avoid this kind of mouse
http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/microsoft-3000-v2-wireless-mouse-black-07289176-pdt.html
they are terrible
oh n also id recommend avoiding wireless mice if ur gaming, soemtimes the connection is really weak n it wont move when u move the mouse
