Hey Guys,
Im an Avid PC gamer, and I think it's about time to upgrade my computer. I currently play games such as H1Z1, League of Legends, BattleField 4, and many others.
I want to have a crazy fast pc, and i have about 800 dollars to do so. I need everything but a graphics card, operating system, and peripherals.
I do wish to include an SSD but i can always buy that later if you figure out a sweet build that cant fit an ssd into the budget.


AMD Radeon R9200 series is my current GFX card.

I would also love to run an intel chipset.

Specifically, which GPU do you have? R9 280? 290? 290X?

I recommend you stay with an intel cpu. Which power supply did you get?

With an AMD cpu, you have more money to allocate for other parts (ie. ssd).

Idk what your budget is anymore but for intel I'd probably go this route if its too expensive to go with an overclockable i5. You wont need a cooler unless you plan on overclocking.

Whats your budget for the rest and do you wish to overclock?

Why the hell would you go amd if you have the budget for intel?
