Build a Gaming PC for $750 - April 2013

2013-04-08
hey guys this is Austin and today in here at the gaming PC bill for $750 this is a very powerful system that's really focused on giving you some really good 1080p gaming performance to give you an example I loaded up a few graphically intensive games such as battlefield 3 which is $750 PC was easily able to run even on full Ultra settings next up we have Far Cry 3 which is still a fantastic looking game so for this one I did have to turn the anti-aliasing down just a bit but beyond that all settings are set to ultra and it still looks absolutely awesome moving on we have Crysis 3 which in my opinion is one of the best-looking PC games yet so for this one we were able to run on high settings with a bit of anti-aliasing definitely not totally maxed out however even on high this game looks absolutely phenomenal last but not least we have BioShock Infinite now this isn't an incredibly demanding game however the art style the colors everything absolutely looks awesome and with this one we are able to run it completely maxed out with Ultra settings at 1080p to kick the build off we're going to be using an Intel Core i5 3470 processor so this is a great choice for a gaming build like this so it has a quad core design with for proper cores as opposed to hyper threading or anything else like that and also is able to turbo all the way up to 3.6 biga Hertz on top of that since it is a core i5 that means you're gonna have plenty of performance for not only games but on top of that you can also do things such as video editing all for about $185 for a motherboard we're going to be using an MSI B 75 m AP 45 so I've used this one before in a previous build and I liked it quite a bit is there gives you pretty much everything that you need so it does support up to 32 gigabytes of RAM so if you ever want to upgrade that you can feel free and it also does have both USB 3.0 support as well as say 2 3.0 support so if you'd like you can always grab an SSD toss it in there you're going to be good to go for a pretty awesome upgrade to your computer as well of course since it is a b75 board it does support the Intel Core i5 so you're gonna be good to go they're all for about $65 for a graphics card we wouldn't be using an XFX Radeon 7870 now this is an awesome choice for a 1080p card like I showed you guys in the benchmarks will pretty much handle any game you throw at it on high or even ultra settings without breaking a sweat on top of that since it is outfitted with 2 gigabytes of memory it's definitely gonna be able to handle some of the newer games such as BioShock which really do need a lot of memory to run nice and without any problems at all with all this for about two hundred forty dollars is a great choice for our build for memory we're going to be using a gigabyte of Corsair Vengeance ddr3 RAM now I've been using this stuff in a lot of my builds these days and that's for a good reason it's fast so it is clocked at 1600 megahertz which is in my opinion the sweet spot for an Ivy Bridge based system and on top of that with eight gigabytes of this stuff you're gonna have plenty of extra memory for all kinds of multitasking gaming all that kind of fun stuff for about $60 for a hard drive or one to be using a one terabyte Western Digital caviar black now this is a great choice for a gaming build like this it's going to deliver a lot of performance not quite as much as an SSD however of course it's much cheaper than a one terabyte SSD and on top of that it's also going to be very reliable as it does have a good warranty and of course Western Digital make some great hard drives now I will say that if you guys want more less storage you can get that so I chose the one terabyte version for this one however you can also pick this up and a 500 gigabyte version as well as a two terabyte version and I'll have both those links in the description of this video anyway though if you do want to go with the one terabyte version it's going to run you about $90 for a case we're going to be using the NZXT source 220 now I like this for several reasons for starters you do have pretty good airflow considering the fact that it does have both eight 120 as well as a 140 millimeter fan to keep things nice and cool as well as it does have USB 3.0 support and most importantly of all at least for a budget build like this is that's easy to work in so a lot of times when you get a budget case it's gonna be a lot of rough edges and it's really not easy to put anything together however with this one everything is nicely laid out you have plenty of room all for about fifty dollars for the power supply we won't be using a 500 watt Corsair CX 500 now this is a great choice for this build with 500 watts of capacity that's gonna be more than enough to handle everything we have in there now as well as some future upgrades and on top of that since it is an 80 plus bronze certified power supply that means that it's not going to be high quality but also to deliver some pretty solid efficiency all for about 58 dollars so there you have it an awesome $750 gaming PC build now of course prices are always changing so I'll have links to everything I mentioned in the description of this video as well as some additional options so if you guys want to do some upgrades like a DVD driver and SSD they will also be in the description of this video if you're interested in more feel free to check out my last bill where I went over 8500 ollar gaming PC if you enjoyed definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up if you're interested in more
