Building a Gaming Computer Gaming Low budget. Help.
ok, so let me just throw my budget out here, est: $600
I'm not sure, i could be more or less thats just a rough idea.
MY NEED: I want it to be able to play games like HITMAN ABSOLUTION at 50% - 60% atleast. And i want it to be able to play grand theft auto v,
I need help in the costs of the parts im choosing, if it can be better then please suggest parts.
Any way, I need help in every aspect.
RAM
I know what RAM is,
Im going for 6 to 8 gb, will ddr3 do the job? how much will it cost?
Processor
I believe that a i5 should be okay, a 3.0ghz one?
its around $200 right?
Should i pick another one?
GPU
okay so currently I have in my laptop a Nvidia 410m.
Its an integrated card. I obviously want a dedicated one.
Im not sure which to pick, please recommend a card, hopefully from Nvidia.
What does 128bit, 256bit mean in GPUs?
And what memory should the card have? 2gb?
EDIT: i found this card, http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desk.../geforce-gt640
its price is around $150, can i go for this?
HDD
at the time of purchase Im thinking about 2 250gb hdds because if i need more I'll simply attach more.
so thats not a problem.
MotherBoard
I know s*it about these things. My plan is to tell my desired parts to the guy at the shop, from where im buying and getting it built (i'll just tell which parts I want). Then he'll just choose a good enough mother board for me? is this ok?
Did i miss anything? please help me
