[color=#770077][/color] I'm planning to build a gaming pc at a resonable price and would like to hear from those who have been able to build a gaming system, about the components used (N.B my definition of gaming pc is one capable of running new titles at medium-high settings)

The two most important components for a good gaming machine are the following:

A strong GPU (I will list a few in a bit), and a strong processor. In regards to RAM, 8 - 16gb of RAM should suffice.

Your Graphics processing unit is the most important thing:

1. AMD Radeon R9 290, 290X, R9 280, R9 285 are all great GPUs. If you can find a cheap GPu, I also recommend the AMD Radeon HD7950, AMD Radeon HD7970 and AMD Radeon HD7990.

2. Nvidia GTX 670, nvidia GTX 760, nvidia GTX 980, nvidia GTX Titan, nvidia GTX 970, etc. etc. are all great GPUs but typically speaking nVidia Graphics cards are more expensive than AMD cards. You can't go wrong with either or.


You will also need to buy a nice Motherboard that can accomodate an Intel Haswell Quad core processor (either i5 or i7). Some popular Haswell processors include Intel Core i7-4770k, Intel Core i5-4570K, Intel Core i5-4670K, Intel Core i7-4790K. There are other great processors out there, but it's your job as the consumer to conduct that research.

how much are you willing to spend?
goto pcpartpicker.com then select a build based on your pocket

thanks, but as regards 2 the graphic card, will the Gtx 670 run modern titles at a good frame rate? and how much does it cost here in nigeria?

It should run most modern titles at a good frame rate. I'll have to look up the price for you. I'm not sure about price, but it should be around 40K
