Hello i am gonna built a gaming pc around 800$.What hardware do you suggest?
-
What games do you want to run and what frame rate, screen resolution, and how many displays and what size displays etc. Assuming your going to be getting or building a desktop PC? Also are you interested in taking a refurb computer and using that with a powerful video card to stretch your budget? ( Game titles to be played will also come into consideration if going with aged refurb hardware )
-
Maybe the OP could say if he loves or hates any of these:
League of Legends
Minecraft
Rocket League
World of Warcraft
Grand Theft Auto V
Guild Wars 2
Path of Exile
World of Warcraft
Garry's Mod
Just a suggestion... 8)

Or he could tell us exactly what he intends to do with the computer, rather than play a round of 20 questions.

I want to build a new pc.Especially for games (gta,some heavy horror games etc). I dont use heavy programs to have a super cpu power so i want to spend more money at gpu.Do you suggest amd or intel cpu????

Which version of GTA? And what game on your wish list has the highest system requirements?
If its Vice City it will play on just about any computer made within the last 15 years. If its San Andreas then you will want a Dual-Core or better, and if its GTA 5 you will want:
OS: Windows 8.1 64 Bit, Windows 8 64 Bit, Windows 7 64 Bit Service Pack 1.
Processor: Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.2GHZ (4 CPUs) / AMD X8 FX-8350 @ 4GHZ (8 CPUs)
Memory: 8GB.
Video Card: NVIDIA GTX 660 2GB / AMD HD7870 2GB.
Sound Card: 100% DirectX 10 compatible.
HDD Space: 65GB.
or better system. as copy/pasted from Google search for GTA5 system requirements. You can google system requirements for all games you plan to play to know what you need for hardware as a minimum.

The game is gta 5.I want a strong gpu.
-
Do you already have a monitor or do you need one and what size?
GTA 5 could be played cheaper on a Playstation 4 vs a PC as a heads up.
PS 4 is $299.99
GTA 5 is on sale at Best Buy for $29.99
*If you want to play this on PC its going to be costly and your $800 budget depending on if monitor is already available or not is stretched thin for good performance with GTA 5

super cpu so I will make gaming one

But aim not sure if 500w are enough for this hardware

It is enough. If not, you need to think more about the GPU you buy.
The trend now is to make stuff better, fester and less poser. Any GPU that sucks a lot of power is no stare-of-the-art.
Here is an article that supports this thought.
https://www.nrdc.org/experts/pierre-delforge/new-report-computer-energy-use-can-easily-be-cut-half
Intel says its new CPU designs have more performance and use less energy. The companies that make good GP chips are also going in that direction.

IMO, in the near future a 500 watt PSU is all you will ever need in a home use desktop. The only people that want more energy use are obsessed. :D
Actually, it is no just my opinion. The industry is going for low power compute ring.
-
Just based on the items listed, 500W is plenty. the usage under load should be around 300W.
-
I think gtx 1060 even with 3 gb ram is actually beast even today.
Anyway what is your opinion about this?
