What is the best processor, mother board, video card, and etc.for computer gaming desktop?

Q. Im planning to put a computer gaming shop business. Please give me advice on whats the most affordable but best set up of computer I can assemble.please be specific.im really not a tech person.

A. It is all very budget dependent. Here is a nice $1000 part set if putting it together yourself, and be sure to watch youtube videos and work on a non-static flat big surface and wear gloves or ground yourself and never force things together.

CPU Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz 4 cores, 4 threads since gaming does not use hyperthreading nor more than 4 cores.

Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler - a good value for overclocking the CPU. It is tall, but very efficient and priced well.
Asus P8Z77-V LK ATX LGA1155 Motherboard - supports overclocking, and has 2 slots of pciex16 to possibly add a second GPU in SLI at another time for crossfiring instead of replacing the graphics card as you would in a 1 slot system.
G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 The right amount for gaming in the right speed for the CPU and is a good brand 1.5V with heat spreader in CAS 9
Western Digital Caviar Black 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive - fairly reliable bulk storage in a good size of a terrabyte
Sandisk 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk - to hold Windows and a few games for fast load and top performance. Can use half in partition for Intel RST/SRT HDD acceleration if preferred.
Video Card Galaxy GeForce GTX 660 2GB - Highly rated solid performer. I did not look up its status for SLI vs crossfire

Cooler Master Storm Enforcer ATX Mid Tower Case - Nice looking case with good air flow and roomy. Starts with only 2 fans as adequate, but could add a top fan. There are many good choices of cases. Has USB 2 and 3 and audio ports.
Rosewill Green 630W 80 PLUS Certified ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply
Decent enough as a single rail (one +12V as preferred) with a 6 and 6+2 pcie connector set and since GTX 660 needs only one, should be enough for crossfire one day without changing it. 50A (600 watts) on 12V to power GPU, CPU, fans and disk drives. There are better and worse PSUs but this is surely at least adequate and more.
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer - any DVDRW
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (OEM) (64-bit)
gamers prefer Win 7
Still need keyboard, mouse, audio output (speakers/headphones), and a display

I need help building a computer to handle Diablo 3 and Battlefield 3 plus surfer and downloading ?

Q. I am Novice when it comes to building computers. I was tempted to buy the Walmart gaming desktop for under 500. But i rather ask first here. So if anyone can help. I will be extremely thankful. Note i dont have anything so if i could get a list of all the parts .
CyberpowerPC Black Gamer Ultra GUA250 Desktop PC with AMD Quad-Core FX-4100 Processor, 8GB Memory, 1TB Hard Drive and Windows 7 Home Premium with Windows 8 Pro Upgrade Option. NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 Graphics

With 1GB video memory, DVI, HDMI and VGA capabilities
this is what the gaming computer on the walmart has to offer .

A. first off. DO NOT BUY PRE-BUILT PCs.

Every single time, 1000 times out of 1000, the company of the computer you bought made profit by cutting costs such as giving you total SH i T components that aren't advertised on the specs. Like the power supply. Like the motherboard. Like the brand of video card (not the manufacturer of the reference model ATI/NVIDIA).

Build your own PC by buying a motherboard, processor, RAM, video card, hard drive, optical CD drive, power supply and case.

In the end, when you order all of your parts, you will save money that would have been profit in Walmart's pockets and whoever built your PC.

You learn about what's in the case. It's a rewarding feeling. You have 100% control. There's no bull s H_ it Indian tech support people to talk to.

Go to newegg. They're the most reliable website to buy PC parts. Start with a video card in your price range that has good benchmarks and reviews. This is the main component for video game performance. Once you pick one, find a motherboard that supports it (PCI express slots), a case that fits it (shouldn't be too hard, but be careful), make sure your processor matches the socket type of your motherboard, make sure your RAM works with your motherboard (keep in mind windows 32bit only supports 4GB or less of RAM, so get Windows 64-bit CD from new egg), use newegg's power supply calculator to find out how beefy of a powersupply you need, and always round up to play it safe. modular = no cables permanently attached to power supply (cleanest). semi-modular = only permanently attached cables are the ones you need (24pin mobo and 4+4 pin processor), so still nice.

the most reliable companies for each part in my opinion are listed below:

Motherboard: ASUS
Processor: Intel
RAM: Corsair
Video Card: AMD GPU, assembled by ASUS
Optical disk Drive: Very stupid almost-outdated thing but you need it to install your OS, go with ASUS OEM version. your power supply will come with the apropriate power cable and your motherboard will come with a data cable for it.
Hard Drive: Western Digital. Keep in mind they have 3 types, color coded. Green is for tree huggers, black is for performance. Go with caviar black.
Power supply: Corsair
If you get an SSD, go for Intel. SSDs are like hard drives, but have no moving parts. They are alot more expensive per gigabyte. But they are FAST. If you want Windows to load within 10 seconds of pressing the power button, install windows to the SSD. If you want your games to load FAST and perform BEAUTIFULLY, install it to the SSD. Put all of your files and music and videos on your HARD DRIVE because you don't need those to open quick lol.

1-500$ total price = your computer is for your grandmother for checking e-mails and playing solitaire and minesweeper.

501-799$ total price = your computer could probably play Battlefield 3 at an average resolution and medium settings at about 25fps (kinda crappy my friend)

800-999$ total price = you're building a good computer, could play BF3 at larger than average resolution at high settings at about 35fps (this is on the fence between good and bad, so why not spend a TINY bit more and have a GOOD PC? see below!~

1000-1200$ total price = if you have at least a 78xx card from AMD, you can play BF3 at large resolutions on ultra settings at about 50fps (amazing, my friend)

it will take a while and you will be very worried at times like i was during your build. you will have questions. i strongly urge you to watch Newegg's how to build a computer videos on youtube. there's 3 parts. 1 is choosing your components, which is what you have to do first. part 2 is building your computer. i watched that 45 minute video like 10 times (450 mins total, about 8 hours).

the tricky parts you gotta be careful about are as follows:

zero insertion force of CPU into motherboard socket.
always having to de-staticize yourself when touching your motherboard by touching a metal surface.
plugging in very small leads to jumper pins on your motherboard
MAKING SURE YOUR MOTHERBOARD HOLES FIT ON THE CASE.
MAKING SURE YOU DON'T LET YOUR MOTHERBOARD TOUCH ANY PART OF THE CASE EXCEPT THE STANDOFFS THROUGH THE HOLES ON THE MOTHERBOARD.
screwing the fragile fricking motherboard on to the standoffs on your case



Good luck my friend. build it yourself and you will be happier and have better performance. i just built mine yesterday and im about to install the drivers and finish my college semester before i play some AWESOME games. i cant decide on battlefield 3 or waiting till BF4 ;D


>
forgot to list my personal opinion of the best company when it comes to the case. go with Corsair. the carbide 500r is perfect. that's what i built and it's amazing. JUST TAKE MY WORD BRO
