Build the BEST $350 Gaming PC for GTA 5 (2015)

2015-04-17
so recently people have been asking me where's the PC builds at and today we have a three hundred and fifty dollar gaming PC that will be able to play GTA 5 at 1080p so let's get on with it so with the recent release of GTA 5 causing a huge buzz in the PC world I thought I'd build you guys a cookie cutter entry level budget PC for $350 they'll be able to play this game at 1080p on medium to high settings and it'll do a good job of that so let's take a look at what's in the cart so for the CPU we're going with an intel pentium g 32:58 this thing comes in at $65 and it is pretty much one of the best bang for buck CPUs you can get now the good thing about the CPU is you can overclock it to around about four gigs even on the stock cooler so you don't have to spend money on an aftermarket cooler another great benefit of this CPU is that it's got the Haswell architecture so it's fast and snappy not only for games that would be great for an overall good desktop experience the one drawback of this CPU is it won't be able to play some of those games that have a four core requirement that's where one company's paid off another company to introduce a four core requirement even though with a hotfix the G 32:58 still plays those games though for what it's worth GTA 5 will run absolutely fine on this CPU at 1080p so for the model we're going with an entry-level H 81 and P 33 motherboard from MSI this board comes in just a little bit over $40 that will do a fine job of supporting that G 32:58 and overclocking it and supporting one graphics card so really good value for money there so for the memory we're going with some g.skill one stick of a gigabytes ddr3 memory that comes clocked in at 1600 megahertz if you enable the XMP profile which is really easy to do now a good thing about this memory is you've also got the option to use it in another build in the future if you want to add another a gigabyte stick you know 16 gigabytes of memory so there's giving you a little bit of options anyway let's move on now to the next part so for the hard drive we're going with a Hitachi ultra star 750 gigabyte hard drive which comes in at $40 you've got a lot of storage there at 7200 rpm Drive sort of perform pretty well and I'll do a good job of holding a lot of games as well as acting as a backup drive if you want to use it in a future project so with the graphics card this is hands-down the most important part of the build so you'll want to set aside the biggest option of your budget for the graphics card with that being said we going with the zotac gtx 750ti which comes in at around about 130 dollars though this price this card performs really well it'll do an absolutely fine job of playing pretty much any game at 1080p at least on medium to high settings I've even used this graphics card at 1440p and it's done a fine job of playing like heroes and new earth and league of legends on Ultra settings at 1440p so for GTA 5 at 1080p this graphics card will do an absolutely fine job so for the second last part of the build we're going with an EVGA 400 watt power supply which will do an absolutely fine job of powering these components especially because we've got a gtx 750ti and a pentium 32:58 they're not going to be requiring much power anyway so a 400 watt power supply especially at $24 makes a lot of sense you can save money for other things like the graphs card the CPU and your home and host now the last part of the build this is going to be a little bit controversial but at this price point I believe I this is something that I would go with personally and that is for the case we're not going with the case instead we're just going on eBay we're going to go buy a power button for one dollar and then we're going to put our build on a cardboard box and that's going to be our rig and I'm no jokes this is a cookie cutter build you want to put as much money into your components as possible so if you need to get a case then spend an extra twenty dollars and grab yourself a decent case though personally me first I'll just save the money and get no case and put it towards the things that matter like the CPU on the graph Scott anyway guys I hope you enjoyed this budget build if you did please give it a big thumbs up if you have any questions or comments about this 350 dollar monster that we just built today then please drop a comment a conversation below and if you haven't already subscribed attack your city where there's going to be more tech videos coming to you also the OSD the buttons everything on this monitor was very good until I noticed one big problem and you guys probably want to know what that is so we'll get straight on to it and it's a thing called cross hatching
