Ok so I want to build a decent gaming PC, but I don't know very much about computers. Can someone please link me a PCPartPicker build? My budget is 300-400. Thank you

go clean some toilets and increase your budget

With that small "console" like budget they won't get much.

Are you going to edit 4k video? Or play Some E-Sport titles like overwatch and csgo?

What is a good budget then?

Thank you very much

new? g4560 and 1050 ti.

used? i7 3770 and 980 easily.
>>
>>61586858
wtf are you on about? 3770s are going for $120 and 980s are going for like $250+ that's ops entire budget
>>
>>61586911
you ever heard of craigslist? 980 for $180, i7 dell for $150, rest on psu/case/ssd
>>
>>61586475
here you go OP. Overclock the igpu and play csgo until you can get monies for a gpu or find a decent used one.

Forgot to mention price
$320 for 500gb hdd or $340 for a terabyte
Invest $400 to get a better cpu or gpu.
>>
>>61587192
And the better ones are a 7650k and a nvidia 1050ti or 1060 3gb
>>
>>61587174
pentium+1050ti massacres that shitty APU+560 in gaming. Getting hardware this old is retarded, kill yourself.
Fucking tripfags, I swear.

Pick one.

>>61587174
jesus christ what the fuck are you doing

At this budget, you're going to either get shit tier performance that is barely going to cut it at 1080p60, or used but far better performance.

used 3570k + z77 mobo, if you keep an eye out on ebay that'd be like $130-140.
2x4gb DDR3 ram, that's another $50-60 used.
Used, good quality (seasonic, thermaltake, some corsairs) 500w+ psu's go for under $20 sometimes, but assume $20-30.
Cases are gonna be shit tier, but you can get one for super cheap - no more than $40.
Scavenge the drive out of whatever you're using now, otherwise get a 1tb seagate for $50.

This leaves about $100-150 to spend on a graphics card. Used AMD cards are out of the question thanks to mining, and the 7xx series has no support anymore I think, so your options are a 960/970. The former comfortably fits into budget, the latter will if you wait for a good deal to pop up.

>2x4gb DDR3 ram, that's another $50-60 used.
where do you live you fuck, you can get 16gb for that price

>good quality (seasonic, thermaltake, some corsairs
>thermaltake, some corsairs
what thermaltake, what corsair?
thermaltake makes all shitty psus,

>assume $20-30
old corsair ones like TX are hard to find for $20-30 and are usually on their last lives.

>1tb seagate for $50.
you can get a refurbished hitachi 3tb for $60, just look on amazon, 4.5 average reviews. western digital and seagate are not comparable to that.

>Used AMD cards are out of the question thanks to mining
7950,7970, 270x, 280, 280x are very resanobly priced

> 7xx series has no support anymore
wdym? 770/780/ti still kick ass.
>>
>>61587588
>you can get 16gb for that price
Those prices are just grabbed from recently sold listings on ebay. Where are you seeing 16gb for $60?

>what thermaltake, what corsair?
thermaltake makes all shitty psus,
I thought thermaltake were okay, but I haven't really checked what they're like. The CX500 is the one I had in mind, and is decent until it hits high load, but this kind of build won't be going anywhere near it anyway.

>hitachi
>3tb
hitachis are fucking LOUD. 3tb is a meme and prone to failure more than other sizes

>7xxx series and rebrands
offer less performance, more heat and power usage, and don't even compare to a 970. They're overpriced right now and aren't capable of holding 60fps in new games unless settings are dropped to medium-high with no AA. A 290 or 290x could be acceptable, but they've probably been abused for mining 24/7.

>7xx series
Only the 780ti can match the 970, and it's still the same price or more than a 970. There's no point in choosing the older card with a shorter supported lifespan left and with less features.

>>61586475
Your best bet is to buy used hardware, specially the CPU. Post what you find here and let others judge.

$400, what do you need $300 for?

>>61586620
you need to got to /pcbg, read their threads, ask there, you also need to be extremely specific do you want 4k gaming (not on that budget), 1440p, 1080p, what is your goals in terms of fps, 30 fps, 60 fps, what do you want in terms of graphics low settings? mixed settiings? high? ultra settings? is it going into a crappy tv ? 60hz moniter? freesync/gsync? do by any chance need to stream? you need to envision a realistically attainable pc that you actually want, if your specific, people can give you better advice, such as they may tell you to wait a little for ryzen 3 and see gaming performance they may tell you to wait for rx 580's on ebay which here soon theyr going to be practically given away
>>
>>61588557
Have fun selling a kidney or sucking dick. That price range is a joke for what you want.
>>
Here is something closer to your budget with newer hardware, https://pcpartpicker.com/user/2799ae/saved/#view=QsQFTW
notes
>replace ryzen 5 in list with ryzen 3 which comes out in a few days at $109
>check reviews on ryzen 3 and gaming performance before making any purchases
>i didnt check the qvl for ram compatability, make sure the ram is on the qvl for the motherboard, its an absolute must
check to see if this micro-atx will fit this case
other than that >>61586832 is a good buy, but i thought i'd try to make a build with ryzen closer to your budget. also B&H has free shipping and is tax free everywhere except ny and nj
>>
>>61586631
$700-$1000
>>
>>61586475
You can't build decent gaming PC for that amount.

Your choice. PS4 is a great machine for the price though.
With a $400 PC you'll be playing Overwatch at 1080p at best.
