Best Gaming Computer for under $3000?

Q. Hi,
I want to get the best gaming rig I can for under $3000. I'd probably need to customize it, but that's fine, just tell me what specs I should get!

Thanks so much!

A. Build it yourself. For $3000, you can get an absolutely SICK computer (whatever you do, DONT buy an overpriced alienware).

Try ordering all your parts off newegg.

Use this motherboard
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130574&Tpk=msi%20p67

This power supply (trust me, it will power virtually anything)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139022&cm_re=tx_850-_-17-139-022-_-Product

Two of these graphics cards. (if you want, the ATI Radeon 6990 is nice, and the 2 Nvidia GTX 570s would perform quite nicely with a little bit more money. In all honesty, though, there is no way to justify the price for a single, high end GTX 580, when cheaper dual card setups offer better performance).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102914&cm_re=6950-_-14-102-914-_-Product

This processor (or go with a 2600k if you feel like splurging a bit)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072&Tpk=2500k

This memory (maybe excessive, but you want a high end rig)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231311&cm_re=8gb_ddr3-_-20-231-311-_-Product

This DVD drive (it doesn't really matter which drive you get)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136216&cm_re=dvd_drive-_-27-136-216-_-Product

This hard drive (you can pay for a bigger or faster hard drive if you need it).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218

This CPU cooler (works fine. This cooler is great, but in all honesty, the 2500k and 2600k processors run very cool anyway).
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103065&cm_re=hyper_212%2b-_-35-103-065-_-Product

Any of these cases (pick a case you like, but be sure that it's not to small, and buy extra case fans if you can. The antec 900 is more than fine)
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=7&name=Computer-Cases&Order=RATING

And this MONSTER of a monitor
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824185011&cm_re=2560x1440-_-24-185-011-_-Product
This thing is past HD, it professional. You've never seen detail like that before. But alternatively, you could buy 3 smaller monitors for a multi monitor setup for a similar price.

And windows 7 home premium 64 bit, $100 of newegg.

Get yourself a mouse, keyboard, and speakers, and you have a sick gaming rig that costs less than $3000. Putting it together is actually pretty easy.

EDIT: And by the way, please don't make the mistake of wasting $2800 on a computer only to use a single 1920x1080 monitor ot TV. Your computer will never live up to it's true potential! Buy 3 good screens or the beautiful $800 ultra high res monitor I described, so you can at least put all that computer power to use.

How much is a good gaming computer?

Q. It'll be my birthday soon and I'm looking to get a good gaming desktop computer, but I need information on prices. Some of you might be familiar with the upcoming game, Guild Wars 2, and I'm looking for a machine that could run a game with graphics like that smoothly.

Any information is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Well, something that isn't too expensive. The main focus should be on game graphics. Kind of on a budget.

A. No way, I recently made one. You can get a decent modern gaming rig for about $1000. When I say that, I mean decent. For a pretty good one that can easily play guild wars or whatever, except super high graphics games, which that isn't....
So...maybe only about $1500, that includes 12gb DDR3, a 2 GB DDR5 Grahpics and $200 Motherboard; and sound card...and people forgot....i7, i5 yes is around 300; however the AMD's phenom X4 or X6 is only around 100 bucks and is nearly equivalent, if not equal to the i7's performance for gaming. Most gamers use AMD's X6 Black Edition Over-Clocked on a tighter budget. so with that in mind only around $1500. Like other say over $3000, you are talking wayyy top of the line gaming, even wayy more than enough for the most modern games.'

as reference...graphics cards...decent ones ,those 1gb DDR5 cards are around $150-200...those with 2 gb DDR5 are around $300...Best ones around$700 4GB
Please, $1000 is best, no questions, hands down. I know what I'm talking about.

What is the best computer site that allows you to build a computer?

Q. Looking for a gaming type computer, that I can build.

A. if u want to start and choose everything from scratch and you know how to put stuff together go to:
newegg.com or Tigerdirect.com building from scratch will actually save you a lot of money i built a pc that cost me about $3000 and is better than those $4000-$9000 blackbird, alienware, and voodoo PCs you just have to know how to overclock your system and pick the right CPU and motherboard.
a Quad core is always a good choice.

Is their a such thing as spending to much on a computer?

Q. This summer i am buying a new gaming computer, i have a little over 3000 dollars to spend, but i dont know if its worth it spending that much, idk if i should just spend like 1800 because im not trying to run multimonitors or uploading 3videos at a time on youtube and playing batllefield 3 on max setting. I am a graphics perfectionist i like running things on high settings, but im not going to multitask while i do it, just play the game, would a 1800 dollar computer like 500 of that being on a grafics card be able to play like bf3 and crysis 3 and the upcoming bf4 on max settings? Or should i just spend the extra thousand on stuff? Plz answer thanks.

A. I recommend that you build it instead. You will be able to acquire better components and know what brands are going into it. Just research videos and such on how to build a computer. It's REALLY easy once you do that. That's what I did. I researched how to build, I researched the parts and everything in between. In the end you'll have a machine worth $1800 and not a machine you paid $1800 for that is worth $700.

Original Question

Is their a such thing as spending to much on a computer?

A. 1800 is enough to play current games on max settings it should be the same way for bf4. i would not recommend spending alot of money on something you dont really need.

Q. In terms of components. I know i need a case, hard drive, cpu and such. I mean do i specifically need? 4 gb high speed ram? Dual core processor? What makes a great gaming computer? This is my first computer and my budget is $3000, so money really isn't an issue.

A. well id say quad core cpu. heres what im building now which will run 99% of (or maybe even all) games on max settings:

Radeon HD 6950 2GB

i5-2500k @3.3ghz

COOLER MASTER HAF 912

4gb ddr3 1600mhz gskill ripjaws (2GBx 2 ram sticks) better to have 2 or 4 sticks to use dual channel memory

GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P LGA 1155 Intel Z68

650W PSU from OCZ

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus (optional but very helpful since stock cpu fans usually suck)

and you can pick and choose for the HDD/SSD

.......i think i listed everything that im getting.

How much would a good gaming computer cost to build?

Q. I'm not asking for a monster gaming computer that would cost around $3000. I'm talking about a suitable one that can get atleast 45 fps on first person shooters with max graphics. I've seen some good ones for $600, but I'm willing to spend $1000 - $1500.

A. When doing perfect shopping, using Newegg for Avatar, CyberpowerPC, iBuypower brands and willing to change out the power supply, the savings versus build your own is often very small, especially for the ones they cut in price because of customer dissatisfaction about what they bought.

In building your own, I believe it is best to use the addage, plan twice and cut once. It should take a lot more time to figure out what to get, then the mechanical processes of ordering and assembling and install and test. You should be willing to learn about each component available, and that also allows future upgrade and repair and issue resolving to be much easier, and avoiding those future potentials.

You have the ability to decide your goals.
- Highest gaming performance per dollar spent
- Aiming performance towards particular games and function needs. Some need strong CPUs and Crysis-3 seems to use hyperthreading and all the cores(even 8 core) where most other use only 4 cores or less. Video editing takes a strong CPU+RAM and a solid state drive. Internet speed takes an SSD to improve it by the cache storage.
- Quality, stability, reliability
- Upgradability - ease of upgrade - (It costs more for a proper 2 PCIe x 16 motherboard and better power supply than you need up-front and the better air flow of a good case, but it allows a simple add of a second graphics card in crossfire/SLI). CPU sets the motherboard options, setting up the CPU upgrade options.
- Appearance, aesthetics inside and out

You need to hone down exactly what you want to spend within about $50, and if you want more help from hardware guys like me, you will have to name particular games more than a category. Are you ONLY interested in first person shooter games, or might you expand to others.

Pre-built PCs often use the cheapest power supplies and motherboards, and your advantage in building your own is choosing better parts that won't cause issues.
You can get a great gaming PC probably about GTX 770 and intel core i5 overclocked with a good motherboard and SSD towards the top end of your price that would be a tier one gaming pc with ultra play. The monitor/display is very key also. Is that included in your price, and keyboard and mouse and speakers, headset, etc. You need to list what is included.
Parts compatibility and optimizing is key. In PCPARTPICKER you can share a link to a part list and ask for improvements with a price in mind. They have sample builds, so I'll skip that minor task here for now. I preferred to give you the meat of the process. Watch youtube videos about the construction and take digital photos of an inside of an existing pc to be able to duplicate it.

What do I need to make a great gaming computer?

Original Question

What parts do I need for a gaming computer?

Q. I'm looking to buy a gaming computer. My money range is $0-$1200 and I want my gaming computer to play most games on max settings and those newer titles such as Battle Field 3 on normal/medium at least.I heard building your own computer is cheaper but I don't know anything about computers. Could someone please help and list good video cards, processors etc. and where to get them. Or you could just put a good pc for a reasonable price. Also can you put the links in your answers.

A. here you go:

Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K - $225

GIGABYTE GA-Z68A-D3H-B3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $130

G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBRL - $47

Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - $125

ASUS ENGTX560Ti448DC2/2DIS/1280MD5 GeForce GTX 560 Ti - 448 Cores (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - $280 ($260 after rebate)

CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX850M 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular High Performance Power Supply - $140 ($120 after rebate)

COOLER MASTER HAF 912 RC-912-KKN1 Black SECC/ ABS Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - $60 ($50 after rebate)

LITE-ON Internal 24x DVD-Writer 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM Black SATA Model iHAS324-99 - $22

Acer S220HQLAbd Black 21.5" 5ms LED Backlight Widescreen LCD Monitor 250 cd/m2 ACM 100,000,000:1 (1000:1) - $120 (1080p monitor)

Logitech Wireless Combo MK260 920-002950 Black 8 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse - $27

Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 64-bit - OEM - $100

COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1 "Heatpipe Direct Contact" Long Life Sleeve 120mm CPU Cooler Compatible Intel Core i5 & Intel Core i7 - $34

ALTEC LANSING BXR1221 15 Watts RMS 2.1 Speaker System - $30

TOTAL :$1200 ($1150 after rebate), this is the best COMPLETE BUILD that I could give you for that price, it is well balanced and it already comes with an aftermarket cooler and speakers. The monitor is 1080p and with the GTX 560 ti 448 cores you could play all games on max settings on 1080p with good FPS.

The GTX 560 ti 448 cores is a DOWNGRADED GTX 570 thus it is only slightly slower than the gtx 570:

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/499?vs=306

BTW, the motherboard that I have provided is SLI ready that is why I have given you the 850w Corsair PSU that is capable enough to support 2 GTX 560 ti 448 cores in SLI on a high end system with overclocking.

And since the GTX 560 ti 448 cores has the same power requirement as that of the GTX 570, then it will be our basis of how much power is needed in SLI:

Here is Guru3D's power supply recommendation:

GeForce GTX 570

On your average system the card requires you to have a 600 Watt power supply unit.

GeForce GTX 570 in 2-way SLI

A second card requires you to add another ~225 Watts. You need a 750+ Watt power supply unit if you use it in a high-end system (800+ to a KiloWatt is recommended if you plan on any overclocking).

http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforce-gtx-570-sli-review/13

So, basically, what I have given you is still upgradeable to SLI and you could still add an SSD (120 gb is good, but this is only optional). =D
