Yeah, I also need to make sure a voltage shortage doesn't happen either.

A 600W PSU is like $65.

That's good. I suck at hardware btw. Software is more of my specialty.
I screwed over my fair share of computers that I had to learn them in and out. I can maintain my OS fairly well and can troubleshoot hardware issues. We had 4 computers when I was a kid for LAN games and it was great but eventually they started to die so I had to troubleshoot the issues myself and use parts from each system to make one or two working systems.

Going to stick my my custom Halo Reach theme that I made years ago. This one is a bit nice but is there any changes for different pages? Or is it just the one background?

Let's hope that's compatible with a Gigabyte motherboard, because that's what's on my machine.
If it's a PCI Express 2.0 you will be fine.

Edit: I was mistaken. It will also work on PCIE 2.0

Nice.

I had mine prebuit from Frys because going to school full time at the time prevented me to have extra time to build my own. However, nothing is stopping me from easily modifying since it's completely custom, just pre-built by iBuyPower instead.

My friend went with IBuyPower. I was going to but I have experience working with computer parts so I ended up just building mine.

Hmmm. And i7 would be a bit better. That's what I'm running on.

I should really consider upgrading my graphics card soon though.

I have an Nvidia 550ti.

Grab a 970. They are great according to the reviews. Kinda wish I waited but hell, there is no 970 with a Titan style cooler at the moment so I'm also glad I didn't.

The CPU isn't good for gaming; you should go for a quad core, at least.

I second this, Intel Quad Core though.

Trust me, I have one on my machine, it does a really good job.

I have a machine already. I could have picked my parts better but hell, it was my first PC I built.

According to many people online on miscellaneous forums people are saying the i3 is just under the FX 6300 in terms of gaming performance.

I was going to recommend an i5-4670k, but the budget would surpass the 800 dollar limit.

Yeah. My friend is tight on funds at the moment. He doesn't want to spend over $800 at the moment but will be inclined to upgrade when he has more money. The Intel Socket is easier to upgrade so we are probably going with that.

Never trust AMD. That's all I well tell you.

Intel and Nvidia are the best for the job.

Also, for the best performance, I recommend stretching your budget to at least 1 grand.
I already have a gaming PC. My friend just wants a budget build. He's going with the Intel Build so he can get an i5 when he has more money.

Anyone know much about building computers here?

There are a few who do, but I don't think they are online at the moment <.<

Okay. Would you mind if I bumped this thread tomorrow afternoon for replies?

Looking to build an under $800 gaming PC with a friend and was wondering how we did. We wanted to match everything aesthetically and keep it in line with out budget.
Anyone have any recommendations/changes to make it better or cheaper without loss of performance?

Edit: Updated OP with proper video card.

Edit 2: We are leaning on the Intel build because it is easily upgraded in the future.

Anyone know the best way of trapping/killing it?

Mouse trap and food.

Hide bits of food in corners and tight spaces, mix a bit of poison with some food and at one spot put a mousetrap.

Okay. I'll see if I can do that and hopefully another one of our dogs doesn't die like the last time...... The last time my father put poison bait in the Garage (opposite side of the house) one of our dogs, just under a year old and mentally impaired, ate everything in that area of the garage and we had to have her put down. I need to see if we can get some put in the attic area so that our dogs cannot get it.

Looks fucking awesome. Not worth buying a Wii U for though.
I bought a WiiU for Zelda 2015, Splatoon, Zelda WW:HD, SSB4, and NintendoLand.

There are a lot of great games on it right now if you look but you need to have the want to play the Nintendo exclusives if you want to get the most out of the WiiU.

I try to enjoy both but, I can't maybe it's the dungeon levels that bore me my favorite LoZ game is Four Swords
A Link to the Past and Minish Cap are great. Same with the Oracle games on the GBC.
