    Building a custom budget pc gaming
    « on: August 20, 2015, 03:41:07 AM »
    Hello, recently i realised that i needed a little bit a better computer to play League of legends and minecraft on i was browsing the internet and i found a guy that made a blog about what pc you should build that is not too expensive and can run various amount of games. He came up with these parts:
    Intel Core i5-4460 LGA 1150 CPU - BX80646I54460    $187.96    1
    ASRock H97M Micro ATX DDR3 1600 Socket 1150 Motherboard    $78.85    1
    EVGA GeForce GTX 970 ACX 2.0 4GB GDDR5 256bit, DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DP SLI Ready Graphics Card 04G-P4-2972-KR    $324.99    1
    Crucial Ballistix Sport 8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 (PC3-12800) 240-Pin UDIMM Memory BLS2KIT4G3D1609DS1S00/BLS2CP4G3D1609DS1S00    $43.83    1
    Seagate 1TB Desktop HDD SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (ST1000DM003)    $50.97    1
    VIVO ATX Mid Tower Computer Gaming PC Case / Black Desktop Shell / 4 Fan Mounts, USB 3.0 Port (CASE-V01)    $26.99    1
    Corsair Builder Series CX 600 Watt ATX/EPS  80 PLUS (CX600)    $64.29    1
    Samsung SATA 1.5 Gb-s Optical Drive, Black SH-224DB/BEBE    $18.59    1
    EGC High-Performance Thermal Compound 4 Grams    $9.99    1
    EGC Monster Mouse Pad 14" x 10" (Black)    $11.99    1

    My PC Building knowledge is quite close to zero and my budget is around 800-1000$ I live in the Netherlands and not in the US,
    I would like to know if these parts are good for a total price around 800$ or if this is a terrible build, i'd really love it if someone could just give me some help/tips.

    Thanks alot.

    (My goals are to  play League of legends and minecraft on it)

    As far as parts list goes.... everything looks good, but I would go with Gigabyte or ASUS motherboard instead of ASRock. I've seen one too many ASRocks run fine at the early stages of the boards life and act up or fail completely prematurely.

    The specs you have here are more than adequate for the games you listed.
