(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); So I just had a custom pc built last night for $1600... Check out what you can get for your money!

Intel Core i7 4790k, Nvidia 780ti 3GB graphics, 16GB kingston hyperx ram (2400mhz), 2TB WD HDD (black is the fastest), Samsung DVD R/RW, Windows 7 home premium, CoolerMaster 500w case, and Gigabyte Z97 motherboard

I built it according to the specs of the alienware's higher end x51 model (but even better).

Hope this helps anyone who's thinking of building their own pc. I was seriously considering the x51, but it's not expandable and portability wasn't an issue for me. I can upgrade this to 32gb ram in the future and it has space for expanding storage etc.

You should upgrade to a 600w psu 500 wont cut it

hey biggus, thanks for the input. i'll definitely consider upgrading

Its not a consideration its a must as soon as you stress the card in a game you will run into issues

ok, the next size up thats available in my country at the moment is 1000w....will that work instead?

thanks

Yes depending on if its a good brand

i appreciate your help
