Hardware PC Setup

Jsb2candyman · Apr 11, 2018

Hello, I am wondering how much a good pc setup would cost WITHOUT the actually pc, I already have my gaming pc, but a horrible desk, chair, and 1 monitor. How much would a decent Gaming setup cost -the mouse, pc, keyboard.

-Thanks, Jsb2candyman

First, define what you mean by 'pc' please.

Shit dude there it was, under my nose this whole time

Well... I'm not gonna sugarcoat anything, that's really not a spectacular card and you probably aren't going to get anything above 720p at low settings out of it. So, with that in mind, I'd go to your nearest store that sells furniture and find a comfortable swivel chair at a decent price, get a desk off of either Craigslist or the same furniture store (unless you want to pay like $300 for a sit/stand desk, which, while they're cool, are also expensive), and find an IPS 720p monitor somewhere; I'd look at Amazon first, but if there's a local second-hand shop/site you might find something good there, too

What Card do you have

I've got an RX 580 4GB, it shreds through absolutely everything I throw at it at 1080p. I got it just before the "crypto craze" got bad, though, when it was only $200, so even though prices are coming back down there are definitely better options now

Do you know a card better than mines and cheaper than that one?, i just checked that is at about 300$ now

I'd throw solid support behind this card: https://pcpartpicker.com/product/wr...-1050-ti-4gb-acx-20-video-card-04g-p4-6251-kr

It's mid-range for the current lineup, but it'll completely embarrass your current card

A good kb/m combo should only run you $80 - $120. A good monitor is gonna cost you at least $300 - $400, maybe look at used and refurbs. Go on craigslist for a good office/gaming chair at a low price.

Here's my mouse that I've been using for a few years, $30 and I still love it: https://www.amazon.com/MSI-Computer-DS200-Wheel-S12-0401170-EB5/dp/B00LSRW3U4/

My keyboard was cheaper when I bought it, now $75: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0793DFSTG/

How would I know if that one would fit into my pc?, looks pretty bigger to me

It'll fit, the extra bulk is just in the heatsink and that only takes up two expansion slots

Can we take this to pm's, getting a little off topic

It's fine here unless you want to move there, the topic of the thread is your computer after all, so you can discuss any concerns over anything going into that you might have and it'll be on topic

Unless there's something that would be easier to discuss privately, in which case: sure, I'd be happy to

Aw man that hurts, I've been looking for one but there hasn't been any AMD gpus around since last year mid (I wanna say) got a nice 144hz freesync monitor too and my 570 is a crappy ITX one so it gets pretty hot also bad bad overclocker
