What would make a good custom built computer?

Question

Hey,

Well i am looking to build a custom built computer for about $500-2,000 AUD.... I have no idea what graphics card will go with what power pack or anything.

So like i said, i want to build a GOOD (Gaming) custom built computer that will run smoothly :)

So if you could please post all links, prices of each item etc... that would be great.

{Requirements: 360GB hard drive, RE driver etc... Sound card, graphics card, power pack (good enough to run better graphics cards etc...) and a good Tower case :)

Thank you,

Ryan

Answer 1

For a graphics card you could get a high end card for what you've got, maybe a 9800GTX. A good power supply would be around 700 watts which will power your system pretty easily. For CPU, it depends on what processor type you want, Intel or AMD. Once you find what processor you want, find a motherboard that supports it and the graphics card, and get 4GB of quality RAM.

For prices, it depends where you live.

Newegg.com is a good place for USA, MSY for Australia but I have no idea about UK.

Answer 2
