How is this for a good, budget gaming setup?

[faiz.aslam.121]

Salam

Decided to purchase parts and make my own custom made pc.

How are the parts? I assume they should run 2-3 years before being obsolete. I am not a hardcore gamer or a FPS *****, just casual GTA V and watching movies etc.

How is the Tv for gaming? I hope it is really 100hz and not 50hz in reality.

Here is the complete list- Will order parts in about 6-7 hours so do chime in!

What about changing the Tv mentioned ^with this one? http://www.lg.com/uk/tvs/lg-42LB550V

Thanks for taking a look

Also, get more ram, its also only slightly more expensive....

SSD is only for OS and a few programs
i7 is not really needed, no rendering is going to be done and frankly, the difference is not huuuge when rendering videos comparing this and an i7. Can OC afterwards if needed

Gonna keep the 8gb ram and see how it goes- Upgrades are cheap, but usually, 8gb is more than enough. Not a heavy multitasker

The product name is universal and the price is well, common sense, the 240 gb version is about 35% more expensive, yet I will have 50gb storage left even if I get the 120gb one, so language barrier is not a problem.... lol.

@$1=7.95
120 gb = $67
240gb = $112.

Doesn't matter- My salary makes up for it, if that's the way you are comparing it >.<
Karma.

why you are not getting a console? I mean if you want something xbox 360 or PS3 can do the job and it's way cheaper and way more fun.

I am not a fan of Console gaming - More of a pc person. And the game that I actively play isn't available on consoles, so there's my problem.

Get the latest samsung ssd if possible in 250GB size. 120 is too small, I have 250GB Samsung EVO and its full, I need another one now. Also get a 144MHz monitor if you really into gaming. Makes a huge difference.

Nope. You can try ordering off Amazon, Newegg or other US based stores and use JetCarrier for the shipping Newegg has some good deals.

I ordered the Kingston one because it was the cheapest one, this is a budget build and my first one. Keeping the costs low so I can afford other electrical goodies in the future. Ordered a Seagate Barracuda 1tb 7200rpm drive too, all other junk will be on that.

Regarding the 144mhz monitor, I don't need it, I am not going to play hardcore fps games, just a few hours a week casually and usually just play Runescape. For that, you don't need an " l33t" setup

Max fps is 50. I achieve that on my current setup, I just wanted some extra processing power.

its actually Hz, not MHz....144MHz would be a little too much lol..
