Okay, there comes the PC buying parts guide, so prepare ass:
First of all, if you have enough money or if there are second hand stores too, you might consider buying used components too that works. Their price shall not be that high thus if you have common sense, you can clean them after and shall run like new. Okay so let's start with it:
KIT (Mobo + CPU combo)First of all, I would recommend looking for a Kit that includes a Motherboard too, in this case, take a look for the
AMD FX-8350 / 6350 since that CPU is pretty much the least AMD's cheap CPU to support many titles from todays somewhere around Low - Medium Settings in game. A good combo / kit it would be with an
ASUS / ASRock / GigaByte motherboard. There could be others too but I don't really know if they would be that good. Anyways, look up for kit FX-8350 / 6350. However bear in mind that the CPU I mentioned is also power hungry. So if the electricity bills are something quite strict or high there in your place, then maybe an Intel CPU might be a good choice too. In this case, look for a Kit that has an
intel i5 3400 or 2500. Their neither really expensive.
Also, another very important thing to note is that when you look for the motherboard specs, it should have
PCI Express 3.0, as GangstaRas mentioned so you can enjoy the maximum performance with your graphics card in games and so on. So, from what I know, the i5 2nd gen mobos usually got 2.0, so watch out.
Also, if you're lucky enough, you might also find kits that could come with RAM Sticks too, such as 4GB, but I highly recommend 8GB for nowdays stuff..
If not, come to this one too:
RAM MemoryWhen it comes at this critical part too, make sure you're getting some proper RAM Memory Sticks such as
2 sticks of 4GB RAM (4X2 / 8GB) if you can afford to, or if not, then look for
2 sticks of 2 GB RAM (2X2 / 4GB).. Keep in mind to pick DDR3 ones and for desktop, not laptop since there are RAM sticks for laptops too and also look for ones that got a
2400Mhz frequency around too so you won't have any performance issue too in games. However be aware with the sticks since their very fragile and can get broken easily if you touch them from the bottom golden / yellow part..
Also, the main reason why I recommend you to buy 2 Sticks is not to have any bottlenecks that can keep your sweet performance away, especially their bandwidth is higher, the better is, to go for 2 Sticks as Dual Channel.
Graphics CardI highly recommend for such system a
GTX 750 Ti since it is the very good least budget graphics card that even has ShadowPlay software that can allow you to record at 60FPS at 1080p regardless of the Computer Specifications..
Another good alternative it would be an
HD 7870, the 2GB variant is all good.
HDD / SSDThis one plays a very important role there too especially for the storage and so on. In this case, if you can afford, look up for any good
SSD with somewhere 128GB around for the System Installation drive and also
an HDD with for storing purposes, especially recordings, so for this case, look for a
512GB (1TB if better) HDD. Keep in mind their both different disks, the SSD one is way faster than the traditional HDD but it is quite expensive, but not very (depends on the storage size) and the Normal HDD with its normal speed. At the HDD part, look for
7200RPM ones since their way faster than the 5400RPM.
PSU (Power Supply Unit)For all this, I recommend a
400-450W Power Supply if you don't need any RGB lighting decoration and such. Also, go look for the rate, I recommend as
minimum Bronze as 80+ (Gold rate 80+ if better, for especially in performance). There are more rates too, such as Plantimum, Titanium and Silver too but it is quite expensive (Silver one).
PC CaseThis is Optional if you wanna set for yourself a new PC up. I recommend you to look up for any
Medium Size Case, not large nor small one.
MonitorThis is also optional, I recommend you to look for any good
1080p monitor such as one with
5ms as minimum, and a 24 inch one or lesser if the budget doesn't reach you or you have a small desk.
For input, you can also go or VGA or even HDMI. However, VGA is the cheapest option.
I guess that's the most I could suggest for a good budget PC to hold still for a good while. About Accessories, such as mouse or keyboard, you look for any that's comfortable for your hands..
Also, make sure to look from which online stores / online second hand shopping website you're looking for. You may also ask others too for opinion about any good SH products selling website so you might not end up getting scammed.
Also, if you manage to get all this, congrats, now for the system, give it a go with
Windows 7 / 8.1 64 bits (both are good), instead of Windows 10. Good Luck.
