    On a budget

    Hey guys,

    I may have a cheap budget($600) but i want to get the most out of a new pc. All my requirements are is that it needs to have a great cooling system and a nice way of running fps. I'm not really a computer kinda guy, i just change the RAM for my friends sometimes. I can go a bit higher but prefer not to so that i may buy better gaming equipment.

    I currently have a laptop from 2005 which i can't argue with because it runs CS:GO pretty decently, but i got a new monitor and it doesnt run well fps wise on the big screen of my new benQ monitor.

    What kind of games are you looking to play? for $600 you can get a pretty good PC but don't be expecting to play BF4 at Ultra with over 60 FPS.

    On a side note, looks like it's time for me to make a new thread

    Case: NZXT Tempest 410
    Mobo: Asus M5A97 LE R2.0
    CPU: AMD FX-6300
    GPU: AMD Radeon 7850 2GB
    RAM: Corsair Vengeance 8GB @1600MHz
    HDD: Seagate Barracuda 1TB @7200RPM
    PSU: Corsair CX600


    This is a personal secondary build I put together, and it's absolutely incredible for the price. I paid about $625 for it, but it can be had for about $570 on today's market. You'll be able to max every modern game and get at least 60 FPS, even in Crysis:

    ​I have the exact same problem. No matter how I wire it, only one of the front fans works.

    $600 is a lowish budget for a gaming PC. If you want a good PC for gaming you will need to pitch in a bit more.

    Get this, essentially (change some things depending on current sales) but swap out the 212 EVO for the older 212 PLUS. Same shit, lower cost.
