psybapunk Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 I'm looking to spend $400-500 on a budget gaming build. I've got an EVGA GTX 750 Ti card that I'll be putting in the new build, so that's already checked off my list. What else should I get? What would be the best bang for my buck right now? I'm open to all suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psybapunk Posted December 24, 2014 Author Share Posted December 24, 2014 Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I'm running an older core i3 with 8gb ram in an gateway box. Would really love a better custom build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason S. Global Moderator Posted December 24, 2014 Global Moderator Share Posted December 24, 2014 are you going to be able to re-use any components from that previous build? Otherwise i think it'll be difficult to make a budget gaming system w/ only $400-500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+PeterUK MVC Posted December 24, 2014 MVC Share Posted December 24, 2014 Awesome! Thanks for the reply. I'm running an older core i3 with 8gb ram in an gateway box. Would really love a better custom build. So you could reuse the RAM and HDD for this build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psybapunk Posted December 25, 2014 Author Share Posted December 25, 2014 I'll just be reusing the EVGA 750 Ti out of it, thats about it. This current build will have an older video card thrown in it and it will be in a kids room. If it's not worth it for $500, would it be better to just buy a SSD and keep the system I have? Jason, thats an awesome build, and close to what I already had pieced together on newegg. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
