Thread: buying new pc

    buying new pc

    Recently my computer died (yesterday lol)
    I've read through all the guides and looked at other threads in this forum but everything is still going over my head>_>
    anyways I was wondering if someone could build one for me that would be good for everyday use / playing games on high/max. If you could use NCIX it would be great as they can assemble it for you(I know it's easy but I'm still very afraid of doing something wrong) and it would be here by the end of the week.

    My budget is about $900
    Need pretty much everything but a keyboard, mouse and monitor.
    I apolgize if asking for something like this is against the forum rules.
    Thank you!

    --------------------------------------------------
    Estimated Total Price – $792

    Recommended for:
    Potent gaming build that will take care of
    almost all gaming needs; will exceed in most
    games but lacks the power to cope with really
    demanding titles at max settings.

    Add a Windows license for ~$80 and you are set for around $880. If you need an ODD they can be found for around $20.

    1. Definitely. If there's a part missing just shout-out and I'll try to find a worthy replacement.
    2. Absolutely, but it will end up costing a few bucks extra.

    There are options to that case. BitFenix Merc Alpha and NZXT Switch 210 are good choices as well. It boils down to user preference - I'd suggest checking out some reviews.

    I'm not sure if I'm doing somthing wrong but I think I've only found:
    the video card ncix.com/products/?sku=75201&vpn=N660TI%20PE2GD5%2FOC&manufacture=MSI%2FMicroStar
    and the case

    The card you found is a 660 Ti. NCIX's search is pretty difficult to use.

    Here's the card you're looking for MSI 660 1033 Mhz @ $240 - $10 MIR alternative but still 'recommended' manufacturers include: Gigabyte 660 1033 Mhz @ $230, ASUS 660 980 Mhz @ $230, ASUS 660 1020 Mhz @ $240, EVGA 660 1046 Mhz @ $240.

    Sure, but this build will be around $1000 which is more than your original posted budget.
