Build a Gaming PC for $750 - August 2012

2012-08-11
hey guys this is Austin and today muted the video going over a 750 dollar gaming PC so recently I've done a couple videos so for example today $500 bill which will allow you to play pretty much any game you want on medium to high settings for only about 500 bucks and I've also done a full tutorial on how to put that computer together indeed pretty much any other PC that you want to build however today we're going to be doing something just a little bit more high-end at $750 to kick our build off we're going to be using an Intel Core i5 2500 K this is one of my favorite CPUs for gaming is not only is it a quad-core chip but it's also highly overclockable so the stock it's gonna come in at about three point three gigahertz however it is no problem at all to overclock it to well over 4 gigahertz which is gonna give you tons of power for running pretty much any game you throw at it while the i5 35 70 K is definitely not a bad choice I still do prefer the 2500 K as for the money you really just can't beat it for about $200 a great start for a build for CPU cooler we're gonna be using the cooler master hyper 212 plus now I've used this in a lot of my gaming builds in fact I've got one in the computer right behind me here and the major reason is is that for the price you really can't beat it and when using a processor like the core i5 which is really overclockable you have to have some way of dissipating all that heat and i find the hyper 212 plus is a great way to go for only about twenty-five dollars for a graphics card we're going to be using an EVGA gtx 560 superclocked and while the new gtx 660 are going to be coming out soon that does not mean anything bad as the 560 is still an awesome card especially now that the price has been cut as this is an overclocked card that means you're going to have plenty of performance to handle pretty much any game you throw at it including battlefield 3 with one gigabyte of gddr5 memory it's not the most but it's going to be plenty if you're only going to be gaming on a single 1080p monitor but have $50 an excellent way to go for the motherboard we're going to be using a gigabyte gaz 77 d3h now I will admit I'm kind of partial to gigabyte motherboards I use them myself and most of my builds and for the most part I find that for the price they give you plenty of performance and plenty of features on top of that they also do come with dual BIOS which can really be a major life saver and on top of that you're going to find quite a few USB 3 ports SATA 3 and even comes with an M SATA port as this is a z77 board you have full capability for overclocking with your 2500 K and if you decide to upgrade to Ivy Bridge it will handle that no problem as well $120 I highly recommend this motherboard for memory we're going to be using 8 gigabytes of p and whine option this is the same step that I recently included in my $500 gaming build well it's not fancier especial or anything like that it is a gigabytes of memory quote to 1333 megahertz so while it's not going to be amazing or spectacular have fire or flames or anything cool it's gonna get the job done it's also going to be really nice and cheap and only about $35 for a hard drive we're going to be using a 500 gigabyte Western Digital caviar black now the caviar black is pretty much the standard gaming harddrive out there sure you can save a few dollars by getting something slower but it's really not going to be worth it now if you need more storage you can bump this up to a one terabyte or even a tutor about caviar black but for this bill we're just going to be using the 500 gigabyte version which is going to run you about $85 for a power supply we're going to be using the corsair CX 600 with 600 watts of capacity this is going to be more than enough to handle the build including overclocking your graphics card your cpu as well as just handling extra hard drives and all that kind of stuff you'd like to put in there since it is corsair it means you're going to get some solid quality and for about $60 it's going to be well worth it for a case we're going to be using the antique 300 this is another one of those parts that i'm a really big fan of i think that's a solid buy for the price and it has all the features and all of flexibility and all the kind of good stuff that you're looking for in a case if you guys wanted more I of course I did use it in the $500 build so if you guys want to follow that tutorial you'll see that all the cable mint and all that stuff is going to be the exact same overall though really saw a case for about $55 for an optical drive we're going to be using the sony DVD burner a little optional if you want to skip it by all means feel free however in general I do like to including builds it's not really going to cost you a whole lot and it gives you some more flexibility as far as installing windows or various different programs however if you want to ditch it or you want to upgrade to a blu-ray player by all means feel free otherwise though this will run you about $18.00 lastly you may want to consider picking up a copy of Windows 7 home premium now I didn't do that in this build is I think that it's probably a better idea to just wait for Windows 8 however if you don't want to wait you just want to get an operating system right now or are you just not a big fan of Windows 8 meanwhile consider adding it on and it'll be about a hundred dollars so you guys have it an awesome seven hundred dollar gaming build now do keep in mind the prices are constantly fluctuating so you may wanna check the links in the description of this video to see what the current prices are now but overall this is gonna be a really awesome build if you guys want a full tutorial on how to put together a gaming PC definitely be sure to check out the link beside me right now anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this video and if you did definitely should leave this video a
