Hi! I'm looking into building a gaming PC since I've heard it's best to build one rather than buy one. However, I'm looking for PC Parts which all in total would cost me around $500. My Family doesn't have much money to spend more than $600.
Here are some PC Games i play often:
1. Counter-Strike Series
2. Grand Theft Auto IV <-- (one of the reasons for new pc)
3. Garry's Mod (can barely play at about 20 fps.)
4. Minecraft
Not only i need a new pc just so i can get these games to run in great performance, but also because I'm into multimedia! I Make Youtube Gaming Videos, and I'm also into Game Programming. However i can't do much of those 2 in this current pc i'm using.
Especially, Grand Theft Auto IV. One of the 2nd games i play often, but i can only run it at 17 fps on the lowest setting and i also get disconnected in multiplayer often because of the lag.
Anyone have any recommendations on what pc parts i should get to get both my media work and GTA IV to run at a great performance without any trouble?
