I want to build a gaming desktop for my birthday next month, i have a $880 spending limit.

I will be running multiple games at once ( diablo 2 ) and need the best for my $


I have a monitor,mouse,keyboard already. Here's what i was going to go with, but i know some of you actually know what you're doing since most of you built one already i need some good advice.


Here's what i have, i want to know for sure what i should get before i get it. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/JQgpZL

If you want value for money, then dont choose such an expensive case.
Much better value -> http://pcpartpicker.com/p/7Vb9hM

I agree don't need an expensive case, but don't want a bulky one either haha.

well then choose any cheap one you like.
I simply like the v21 since if can hold a 200mm fan in the front which is enough to cool the entire system and operates dead quiet.

Yes i understand.

Things i would like in my build though is

1tb hard drive
Liquid cooling is a must i will be running this desktop for days on end
cd drive
At least 16GB of ram
Would like a 4.0 at least 8 core processor


I hear Intel > Amd for gaming so i'm up for options on that. But i do have a limit and intel can get pretty expensive.

First of all liquid cooling is not always better then air cooling. The one you chose wont be any improvement over a solid air cooler.
If you need more space then drop down to a r9 380 or gtx 960 and then you have enough budget to get some more hdd space.
But your processor request simply shows, that you have no idea what you are talking about. GHz and Core count mean nothing across manufactures and generations. Only within one architecture they can be used to compare the performance of a CPU. The I5 6600 outperforms the fx 8350 in almost every situation, since its 3.3GHz cores are about 50% faster then AMD's 4GHz Cores.

If i knew what i was talking about i wouldn't of made this thread lol. I want people that know what they are talking about to help me.


I'm not here to argue over a pc build, very controversial what people like i know. But in my case i will be running multiple d2's so i need something that will be able to with stand a lot of game.exe's and i also play games that have high cpu usage.

I asked for help not people be a dick about the shit. I obviously don't know much HENCE the reason why i posted here. If you want to be a dick see your way out of this thread cause i don't need anyone to waste my time. I need help and answers, but i don't need them from someone that's going to be an asshole.

So far i upgraded to this. http://pcpartpicker.com/p/yjhc3C

people have attitudes here just ignore them. but more importantly you failed to post the info people need so your going to get shit.
thats definitely an improvement over before. but wait for others later to tweak it.

fill this out in the mean time and specify colour scheme if you want one...

Budget:
More specific use (what games, what programs):
Planned time until purchase:
Do you need an Operating System?:
Do you have any specific preferred components?:
Do you need a sound or wireless card?:
Do you want stock cooling or do you plan on overclocking?:
Do you need a monitor? mouse? keyboard?:
Zip code/location? (Shipping costs):
