Dear Nlanders I want to build a computer rig that will sooth my gaming needs. I would like you guys to advise me on the following because I want to assemble them myself and order for the peripherals; Which motherboard can I buy that won't have limited watts supply to the gpu Which gpu 512/1024mb should I buy Which one. Of this CPU is more preferable the core 2 quad or the core i3. |

If u intend gaming a 512 Mb GPU is low for some high end games. Get at least a 1 Gb Direct x11 GPU. |

leunamme93: minimum 20k bro. Is it too low20k u must be jokin,... biggest joke ve ever heard.... google cheapest gaming rig on the internet and see 4 urself.. |

brightk: 20k u must be jokin,... biggest joke ve ever heard.... google cheapest gaming rig on the internet and see 4 urself..pls try read my post and comprehend it again. |

leunamme93: pls try read my post and comprehend it again.re u serious abt d 20k budget.. or wat is ur total budget 4 dis gaming rig.. are u buyin d parts on d internet... an intel processor is no way cheap...ur best bet wud be an AMD gaming system if u re considering cost...more also a gaming rig needs a high power psu.. sometin of 600w and above.. The higher d better. there shud be more dan having less.. 1..get a 1024mb gpu..A 512mb gpu is jst below average u might get frustrated in d process later wen u get amazing games.. 2..Get an asus or asrock motherboard... is it only gamin u re usin d pc 4.. u might want 2 get a cpu wit extra features like HT..(Hyper threading feature) .... A quad core pc == 4 cores (physical) if HT(virtual) present its 4 X 2 == 8 cores A quad core pc == 4 cores if HT absent its == 4 cores only if d i core 3 is 2 cores and HT present 2 X 2 == 4 cores if d i core 3 is 2 cores and HT absent 2 X 2 == 4 cores if i core 3 is quad core and HT present 4 X 2 == 8 cores if i core 3 is quad core and HT absent 4 == 4 cores HT delivers two processing threads per physical core. All depends on how the game was optimized for using HT, but it was soon found that physical cores far exceed virtual ones in games though, so HT is more or less useless. HT only helps for multiple apps (or even apps designed 2 use more dan 3 logical cores)and programs open at once when needed though, so it's not at all dead, just not viable for games. get a quad core processor with enough ghz as u can afford.. by the way u didnt mention the name of the icore 3 processor(if it is a 2nd/3rd/4th generation i processor) and the core 2 quad processor name so we can do a comparison. hope say i nor do ITK....lol |

Thanks man, but I must admit I was kind of lost there. Amd has heat issues right? I just don't want my room to be a mini oven. The 20k I quoted was for a start I know I will be spending more. My brother is now convincing me to get an Asus laptop g51vx since it has 1gb of dedicated GPU.  |

leunamme93: Thanks man, but I must admit I was kind of lost there. Amd has heat issues right? I just don't want my room to be a mini oven. The 20k I quoted was for a start I know I will be spending more.one tin i must let u know is dis.. every electronic equipment develops heat.. weda amd or intel. its just how u manage d heat......A gamin rig is suppose 2 have an alternative cooling system..not jst d usual heat sink dat came wit it....gud gamin laptop u ve there bt i tink d highest ram u can put on dat pc is 4gb n notin more...The problem abt laptops is dat u will always be limited in one form or d other.. besides consider the cost man. A cpu of dat nature shud go 4 a 100k 4 a start....even d 20k u want 2 start will go 4 a low end 1gb gpu on a pc build.... |

Its a core2duo. Though it can be extended to 6gb ram. |

brightk: http://www.asus.com/Notebooks_Ultrabooks/G51Vx/#specificationsIta just 4gb max. but would that be a limitation in terms of gaming for ?or should get something else? |
| Re: Things To Consider When Building A Computer Rig? by brightk(m): 12:44pm On Oct 04, 2013 |
leunamme93: My ans will be no.. although games have their own requirement,4gb is still on the average side.. Games do not use more than 4GB right now..most games wont use up all available ram. With a gud gpu with better fps (frames per second and memory) u would get a better gaming experience.... like i said if u intend using the pc for just gaming purposes den its ok.. but if u decide 2 split ur monitor and runs other apps one one screen and d game on another. i will suggest u look 4 another gaming laptop or assemble a desktop pc urself... Ram prices have gone cheap so piple intend 2 buy more ram dan go for a minimum value... 6gb(overall windows performance) 2 me is ok.. |

brightk: Getting a custom built desktop is still the best. Atleast, it would be more cheaper. Only problem is the portability. If he however wants a laptop that's good for gaming |

brightk:It's only for gaming Bro, and the rest are just for media and Web.. |
