How much does building your own gaming computer generally cost if you're shooting to be able to play games like Stranded Deep and 7 Days to Die with decent graphics on? Any ideas?
We went to a computer part place a few towns over for my birthday and pieced apart a computer for $500. I can run any game I own at 60 FPS on the highest settings. We already had a hard drive and case, however. In minecraft my FPS ranges from 500-1300
Also, it's really important to read the reviews before you buy. If 60% of the reviews say DoA, dont buy. Also make sure your power supply unit is at least Bronze Certified. Just because your PSU has the wattage doesn't mean it's a good PSU and your computer, and your house will pay dearly for that.
And stay away from newegg. Go to Bestbuy, Amazon, TigerDirect, and even Fry's if it's near your house. If a part comes defective, you can drive to the store and return it. Newegg will charge you for returns and make you pay for shipping.
