We've walked you through building your own computer before, but what we didn't do at the time is give you a suggested parts list for that new computer. In this post—which we'll update periodically as prices and components change—we'll walk you through the parts and hardware we'll need for three different system builds: a budget workstation, a powerful all-purpose PC, and an enthusiast's system for gamers and media professionals.
While some consider the desktop a dead platform, there are still plenty of us who use them as much as or in addition to laptops or tablets, love to play PC games, or just enjoy getting our hands dirty and building our own systems. Before we go any further, we should point out that these PC builds are designed to optimize your all-around computing experience, with some emphasis on PC gaming. The components that give you the best bang for your buck depend heavily on what you're planning to do with the system: Your parts will be different if you're building an HTPC on the same budget, or a super-speedy file server for your home network.
We've talked about our own experiences building a system and why it's important already. If you're ready to set out on the task of building your own computer, here are the components you'll need to build the best system you can get for your money.
As usual, we're using PCPartPicker to put together our builds. We love it, and think you should use it too—it gives you more flexibility in your part buying, helps you eliminate possibly incompatible components. Plus it makes sure you get he best prices for the items you plan to buy, even if it means you have to buy them from different retailers. If you have your own PCPartPicker builds you want to show off, make sure to link them up in the discussions below!
As always, keep in mind that prices change all the time, so if you're checking this and the prices have changed, just head back to PCPartPicker and see if you can find a better price.
Build Versus Buy
The old debate over whether you should build your own system or buy a pre-built one is an old, long-standing argument that will never be easily washed away. However, there are some benefits to building your own system that can't be weighed in terms of dollars and cents. You may be happier with your own hand-built system, or you may be able to score bargains and rebates that lead to a more powerful computer stuffed with higher quality components than a manufacturer would use.
Building your own PC also gives you complete and full control over that system's components and extendability. Unlike buying an OEM PC, assembling your own gives you the ability to make decisions about when and how you'll upgrade that system in the long run as opposed to simply taking what the manufacturer sells you. For example, you can buy into a new motherboard chipset early and wait to spend money on the next generation of graphics card later, giving yourself a timely upgrade when the moment-or your budget-is right.
Ultimately, while it may be easier to just pull out a credit card and buy whatever's on sale from your preferred OEM, there's something about assembling the components of a system that you've selected for your needs, powering it up, installing your favorite OS, and using it every day that's' incredibly rewarding. We've talked about this in more detail here, if you're curious.
Choosing The Right Parts
There was a time when building a PC was all about buying the most expensive and most powerful components you could on the budget you had. While some of that is still true, even budget components can be remarkably powerful, and if all you're planning on doing with your system is word processing, surfing the web, and some light entertainment like streaming video or listening to music, almost any system build will work for you.
You don't need to spend a grand on high-end gaming components if you're putting together a system for your friend who doesn't know or care what graphics card is going into the box. At the same time, that doesn't mean they're doomed to a computer full of sub-standard components. We explained a few months ago that you should carefully assess your need before rushing off to start pricing out components, and that advice is still true today.
Ultimately, there's no reason for you to rush out and buy the most expensive components you can afford unless you're an enthusiast and want the most top-of-the-line system you can afford. Here we'll detail two separate builds, a high-end system for enthusiasts and power-hungry users, and a mid-range build that will cost about half as much but still pack a punch.
The $300 Budget System
The first few times we did this guide, a few people noted that $600 and $1200 were more than enough to spend on high-powered PCs, but a good machine at around or less than $400 would be a great project. Well, here you go—not only is it possible to come in under $400, we opted for $300, and the system we put together on that budget is no slouch.
The Parts
This parts list assumes that you'll need the basic components: a case, a motherboard, processor, memory, storage, graphics card of some type, power supply, and an optical drive. We're going to assume you have a perfectly good USB keyboard, mouse, and display you can repurpose for use with your new system. Before you blindly buy what we're about to suggest, take a moment and look at our Lifehacker Night School article on choosing PC components, where we discuss some of the things you should think about before buying your components. For example, our $300 PC here is made for economy and general use, not necessarily high-end gaming or video editing. Remember to consider what you'll use the system for before buying.
That said, here are the parts for our budget-friendly PC:
- The case: Rosewill FBM-01 MicroATX Mini Tower Computer Case - It's compact, it's roomy enough to actually get your hands in there, and it's small enough to go on top of or underneath a desk without taking up too much space. It's not the sexiest case in the word, but it's lightweight, sports front-side USB 2.0 and audio ports, has dual fans for airflow, and is well reviewed and regarded. Plus, you really can't argue with the price tag. You could step up to a full-size tower if you want and spend some more money, maybe on a $40 NZXT Source 210 (not to be confused with the NZXT Tempest 210 we use later in this guide) if you have more to spend. For the money and the size though, this'll do just fine.
- The power supply: Corsair CX430 430W Power Supply - This build won't take a ton of horsepower. We used PCPartPicker's calculator to estimate the total wattage our final build would draw (~150W) and this 430W power supply will handle that, and it gives us room to add a graphics card or more power-hungry components down the line. It'll also fit in our mini tower nicely, and it has enough juice to power some upgrades if you ever want them. As always, just make sure you do the math on the wattage your system will likely pull down before you select a power supply, and try to buy from someone with good reviews and a solid track record of quality. If you're not using PCPartPicker, try theeXtreme Power Supply Calculator.
- The motherboard: MSI FM2-A55M-E33 Socket FM2 AMD A55 DDR3 MicroATX Motherboard - Yet again, our budget build is an AMD-based system, and just as well—at this price point, AMD offers incredible performance bang for the buck. This board will give you eight USB 2.0 ports, four SATA II ports, gigabit Ethernet, supports up to 32GB of RAM, and 8-channel on-board audio. It packs on-board video-out (namely HDMI and VGA), and since the AMD Trinity that we're about to slap into it isan APU, it'll handle graphics. It doesn't pack top of the line features like SATA III or USB 3.0, which is a bummer, but the price is right.
- The CPU: AMD A6-5400K Socket FM2 3.6Ghz Dual-Core CPU with Radeon HD 7540D GPU - Don't underestimate AMD's A-Series APUs. They can handle more than you might think, and they're a staple in our favorite HTPC builds. Because it's a combination CPU and GPU, this also means we don't need to add a stand-alone graphics card in our build. This A6 has the equivalent of an AMD Radeon HD 7540D built right into it. It'll still handle everyday duties easily, and video at 1080p on a wide-screen display without blinking an eye. You can even fire up some of your favorite games on this thing, as long as you adjust your graphics settings appropriately. If you don't do any gaming at all though, the A6 gives you a speedy processor that can handle tasks like surfing the web, watching web video, listening to local or streaming music, and getting actual work done.
- The memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) - RAM prices are still higher than they used to be, but that doesn't mean there aren't bargains to be had. We're paying a little more for a 2x2GB kit to take advantage of the dual-channel RAM slots on the board we have, but you can save a few bucks with this 1x4GB Kingston Hyper Blu DDR3 1600 stick, which also gives you the option to add a second 4GB stick later if you want to easily upgrade to 8GB (thanks to the folk at MakeMyRig for the suggestion!) That said, 4GB will be enough to get our budget PC up and running with enough RAM for just about anything it'll need to do. The board can support up to 32GB, so if you want more RAM, you can always upgrade. If you have more to spend, replace this kit with the more expensive 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin Memory Kit and get a solid 8GB in there. It would put us over our budget, but it's a worthy upgrade.
- The storage: Western Digital 7200RPM 1TB Hard Drive - This $65 1TB model is speedy at 7200RPM, sports a 64MB cache, and is affordable enough that we decided to use it again in our $600 build below. If you have a different brand allegiance when it comes to drives, try this similar Seagate 1TB model. Whichever you choose, make sure you make note of the warranty, and, of course, keep your data backed up. Every hard drive fails, it's just a matter of when.
- The optical drive: Lite-On 24x CD/DVD Burner - There isn't too much to worry about when selecting an optical drive: just get something that works for your need (for example, this ASUS assumes you won't be watching Blu-Ray videos on your PC. If you are, you may want to look at a Blu-Ray drive, like this ASUS Blu-ray drive, which will cost you a bit more but allow you to watch those Blu-ray discs on your system) and select a well-reviewed drive from a reputable manufacturer. If you have an optical drive from a previous build, even better.
- The total: $281.88 ($308.90 before Discounts and Rebates)

The $600 Powerhouse PC
Long gone are the days where you should immediately budget at least a grand for a decent self-built system. Unless you absolutely have to have a top of the line PC, this mid-range system will power through everyday tasks, handle PC gaming, streaming movies and music from the web, and even those bigger projects like ripping your music collection quickly or editing home movies easily.
The Parts
Again, we're going to assume you have a perfectly good USB keyboard, mouse, and display you can repurpose for use with your new system. Our $600 PC here is made with bang-for-the-buck in mind, something that will earn you high performance without breaking the bank—not necessarily silent operation or tons of expansion bays. Remember to consider what you'll use the system for before buying. You may very well want to tweak some of the components we suggest below.
Here are the parts for our $600 powerhouse:
- The case: NZXT Tempest 210 - The NZXT Tempest 210 is a roomy mid-sized case that, thanks to its steel body, is both lightweight and should last you longer than just this build. It's large enough to accommodate all but the largest components, and roomy enough to move your hands around inside without too much of a squeeze. The case is loaded with grips to easily remove drive bays inside without a screwdriver, slots to route your cables through cleanly, extra fan grills for superior airflow and cooling, it's just a nicely designed case. You also get a pair of 120mm fans for your money, an enlarged CPU cut-out to accommodate after-market cooling, and front-side audio and USB ports (including a front-side USB 3.0 port) are a nice bonus in this budget case. Plus, our own Whitson Gordon swears by NZXT cases, both for their interior space and how easy it is to install and remove components from them.
- The power supply: Corsair Builder Series CX430 430W Power Supply - Most PC builders, especially starting off, tend to completely overestimate how much power their components will actually need. This 430-watt power supply from Corsair should be enough for our components (which will draw around 350W, leaving room for more power draw under load), and Corsair is a trusted name. Pay attention to warranties and return policies as well, but try to make sure you're getting the right amount of juice for the system you're building. If you have a few more dollars, step up to this 500W model for a few more bucks. There are some great calculators on the web that will help you determine how big your power supply should really be, like the eXtreme Power Supply Calculator.
- The CPU: AMD FX-6300 Six-Core 3.5GHz AM3+ Processor - We're flipping the script this time around and going with one of AMD's Vishera CPUs. We struggled with this decision a ton, as we usually do, but here's the clincher—if you're building a solid, multipurpose PC, the FX-6300 offers a solid multi-core system that performs well whether your goal for this build is PC gaming or general, more multipurpose use, which makes the system more applicable to people who could use the extra cores and may not necessarily be gaming. We honestly could have gone either way on this. This Intel Haswell Core i3-4330 is a bit more expensive, but offers more power per-core than the FX-6300, while the FX-6300 packs more cores. If you're a gamer, read up on the titles you play and see how they benchmark. We're not about to settle this debate here—frankly, if you want to go Intel, do it. It's a stellar buy and you won't regret it. This thread over at the buildapc subreddit and this thread at Tom's Hardware both run down the pros and cons of each, and there's plenty of opinion to go around. These benchmarks from AnandTech shows the FX-6300 offers some performance gains over the last i3 we had in this build, although the Haswell i3-4330 isn't included there for comparison. Choose what suits you best.
- The motherboard: ASUS M5A97 R2.0 AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard - This motherboard offers great power management and a stellar feature list for the price. It packs 4 dual channel memory slots, six SATA II ports, six USB 2.0 ports, two USB 3.0 ports, 8-channel audio on-board, and gigabit Ethernet. There's no on-board video (but that's okay), but it does include overclocking features if you want to make use of that FX-6300's overclocking capabilities. We didn't design this build with overclocking in mind, but the door is open to you if you're interested. Best of all though, if you do decide to upgrade this system beyond its current capabilities, this motherboard will give you the room to add an SSD, more memory, a beefier graphics card, or whatever else you'd like. Want an alternative? A few more bucks more gets you the Gigabyte AM3+ AMD 970 SATA 6Gbps USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard (GA-970A-UD3P), an equally feature-packed board. If you're going Intel, like we mentioned you could in the previous section, swap this out for the similarly-priced, similarly feature-packed ASRock Z87 PRO3, which is overclocking friendly and gives you room to grow, even if the i3-4330 we mentioned is locked and not overclocking friendly at all.
- The memory: G.SKILL 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600 RAM - RAM prices are still higher than we would like to see, so we're keeping our $600 at 4GB right now. This is a solid 4GB kit from one of our favorite memory manufacturers, and it fits into our budget. Our board is dual-channel, so we want to make sure we take advantage of it, and we've already explained why we're starting with 4GB. If you have more to spend, replace this kit with the more expensive Crucial 8 GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 MHz (PC3 12800) 240-Pin Memory Kit and get a solid 8GB in there. It would put us over our budget, but it's a worthy upgrade, and the board can support up to 32GB total.
- The storage: Western Digital 7200RPM 1TB Hard Drive - Hard drive prices have stabilized a bit, and if you catch a sale, you can do well enough to pick up an SSD for your mid-range system along with a standard spinning, high-capacity hard drive. This $65 1TB model is speedy at 7200RPM, sports a 64MB cache, and is affordable enough that we decided to use it again in our $600 build below. If you have a different brand allegiance when it comes to drives, try this similar Seagate 1TB model. Whichever you choose, make sure you make note of the warranty, and, of course, keep your data backed up. Every hard drive fails, it's just a matter of when.
- The graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 270 2GB Video Card/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2GB - Either of these cards will be more than enough to power 1080p gaming without much hassle. The R9 270 is one of this generation's best bang-for-the-buck graphics cards, and the GTX 660 is a killer card that's on par with the R9 270 (Thanks to Sangeet for suggesting it over the 650 Ti Boost we had earlier!) Either one is a great pick, and if your favorite titles are games like Crysis, Skyrim, Remember Me, Saint's Row: IV, Call of Duty: Ghosts, or any of this generation's other graphically challenging games, you'll be able to turn up the settings without dropping so many frames it makes the game horrible to play. If gaming isn't your goal at all, and instead you prefer watching HD video on large displays, you won't have a problem here either.
- The optical drive: Lite-On 24x CD/DVD Burner - There isn't too much to worry about when selecting an optical drive: just get something that works for your need (for example, this ASUS assumes you won't be watching Blu-ray videos on your PC. If you are, you may want to look at a Blu-ray drive, like this ASUS Blu-ray drive, which will cost you a bit more but allow you to watch those Blu-ray discs on your system) and select a well-reviewed drive from a reputable manufacturer. If you have an optical drive from a previous build, even better.
- The total: $578.83 ($603.83 before Discounts/Rebates)

If you want more options…
You can build a seriously powerful system for $600. That doesn't mean there isn't room to improve it, or cut it down a bit if it's too much. You could get below $500 by swapping in a cheaper processor (like the AMD Athlon X4 760K, for example.) Alternatively, if you want to scrap $20 off the build, you could ditch the optical drive, something we debated back and forth—if you do, you wind up with more money you could spend elsewhere. If you really need to save some money, and you're not a gamer at all, pull out that pricey video card and slap in a mid-tier card like the AMD Radeon HD 6670 - a card that can power multiple monitors, play HD video, but isn't really designed for HD gaming with today's popular titles.
One thing we mentioned earlier; you could also go Intel with this build. That probably won't exactly save you money, although depending on what you're willing to trade off and where, you could get price parity. This build over at Reddit's buildapc subreddit caught our eye, but when we tried to duplicate his prices, we were way over budget. We could get pretty close by stepping down on a number of his features (swapping out almost all of his components for some of the ones above), but we couldn't find anyone willing to match the prices he got. Still, his build is a whole lot of PC for the dollar, and worth a look if you have a little more to spend but not a ton more.
If you have a few more dollars to spend, the first thing we'd suggest you do is upgrade the RAM in the system to 8GB using the kit mentioned above (or max out the board, if you want). More RAM is the first place worth sinking some extra money if you have it. Then, consider dropping an SSD into the system in addition the 1TB Western Digital already in the build. SSDs don't have to be pricey; this Kingston 120GB is around $90, and is one of the best SSDs you can buy right now. If your priority is gaming, you could probably get away with a beefier graphics card than the ones we opted for above. Consider stepping up to the Radeon R9 270X for a more powerful version of the card in our build above.
The $1200 Enthusiast's PC
Now that we've covered two systems that can be purchased and assembled on a decent budgets, now it's time to have some fun. First, we're not targeting our upper limit here, we just want to give you an idea of some of the high-end components that would make a good enthusiast's build. If you're a fan of PC gaming, have to play the latest releases as soon as they're out, have multiple huge, high-resolution displays, or just want the beefiest box you can afford, this build is for you.
The Parts
As with the $600 PC above, we're going to assume you have the basics, like a keyboard, mouse, and display. In this case though, we're going for the big, pretty, and powerful, as opposed to trying to keep the budget down. We won't necessarily aim directly for our high-end, but we will slap in some pricier components that we know would make a noticeable difference in your computing experience if you had them in your system.
Again, remember to consider your use case before buying – the people who'll really love this build will be PC gamers, media professionals, and enthusiasts who want to futureproof themselves or just prefer the top of the line.
Here are the parts for our enthusiast's PC:
- The case: Corsair Carbide Series 300R - This time we decided on a more modest, simple case that, while it's not flashy, will contain as much possible power as we can cram into it with the rest of our budget. The Carbide 300R is sleek black, lightweight steel and plastic, with more than enough expansion bays and slots on the rear to accommodate everything we want to put into it and more. It has great airflow to keep your components cool, and a front-side I/O panel for power, USB 3.0, and audio. It's large enough to fit aftermarket cooling or long graphics cards. Warning though: there are some very pretty cases on the market – buy one that has the features and look that you want. Looking for a side-window? Grab the pricier Carbide 500R. Some people have said that the 300R is flimsy, but we haven't had a problem with it, and neither did CustomPCReview, when they built their $1200 PC around it. Still, you could use the NZXT Tempest 210 we mentioned in the $600 build—it'll work just as well. Want more options? We did a Hive Five on desktop computer cases a while back (although most were a bit more expensive, like the winner: Cooler Master HAF X), or alternatively you could spend nothing and repurpose an old case from a previous build.
- The power supply: CORSAIR CX600M 600W High Performance Modular Power Supply - Speaking of Corsair, the company makes good power supplies, and 600 watts of juice should be enough to power the rest of this build (which comes in around 450W, leaving room for more draw at load). This power supply is also modular, which was a pleasant surprise at the price, so you only use the cables you actually need for your components. It's quiet, comes with a +12V rail for a high-powered graphics card, and offers great, steady power at a solid price. There are more expensive power supplies out there, but this one gets the job done without being overkill. Plus, if you decide to swap out any of the components here for higher-end ones, you can do so without worrying this PSU won't be able to handle it.
- The CPU: Intel Core i5-4670K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor - Intel's Core processors still lead the market in power and performance. After all, this is the same processor that CustomPCReview put in their $1200 gaming rig, and our friends at Logical Increments think this—not the i7—is the best processor for high-end performance without spending all the money in your budget just on a processor. We think it'll handle whatever you throw at it pretty handily, whether your PC is going to be a gaming machine, a workhorse, or a video-editing or multimedia powerhouse. We spent the extra few bucks to get the unlocked version (and a complimentary motherboard below), so if you're interested in overclocking, this is a great setup to try it with. If you need the hyper-threading that the i7 offers and you have the money for it, the Intel Core i7-4470K is your next natural step up - it'll cost you an extra hundred roughly, but we know some of you out there need the horsepower, especially if you're doing 3D effects, video conversion or high-end video editing, or anything else that can make use of the hyperthreading that comes with the i7.
- The motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard - A good, all around motherboard with high end features to match its modest price. You get all the features you would expect from a board of this class, including dual channel RAM slots and support for up to 32GB, six USB 3.0 ports on the back with connectors on-board for four more (along with six more USB 2.0 ports) eight 6Gb/s SATA ports, 7.1-channel audio, gigabit Ethernet, and more ports on the back than you'll probably actually need, including DVI-D and HDMI. The board also supports SLI and Crossfire if you want to step up your graphics power, and it's generally well reviewed. If you're no Gigabyte fan, you could always step over to the ASRock Z87 Extreme4 LGA1150 ATX Motherboard, which is a little cheaper also overclocker friendly, but skimps on a few of those ports we mentioned.
- The memory:Kingston HyperX Blu 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory - An enthusiast's PC just wouldn't be right without a full 8GB of RAM in it (if not more). If we had the budget to cram more in here, we'd consider it, but 8GB is your natural starting point (and RAM prices just aren't what they used to be, frankly). This Kingston 8GB kit is a solid budget buy, and it'll get the job done nicely thanks to our dual channel motherboard. If you have the budget to go wild, you could just load up the board and call it a day. Maybe you're no Kingston fan, or want to spend more on modules with heat spreaders or something—no problem, step up to this Corsair kit.
- The storage: Seagate 600 Series 240GB 2.5" Solid State Disk + Western Digital WD Black 1TB 7200RPM SATA 6Gb/s Hard Drive - At this point, we probably don't need to convince you that a Solid State Drive (SSD) is one of the best components you can buy for your computer, especially as your boot drive and for your most used applications. This Seagate comes in at a great price for the size you get, and it's pretty fast at that. It's a top-tier drive, and if you don't believe us, just read AnandTech's detailed review. If you don't like this model, there are plenty of others to choose from, like this more expensive Intel 335 series that offers the same space. For more, read our complete guide to SSDs to learn what to check for before you buy. Of course, if you're using an SSD as your boot drive, you'll need a nice, speedy standard drive for the rest of your files and any applications that don't need to be on your SSD, and this WD Caviar Black is a bit of a splurge, but it's made for performance.
- The graphics card: AMD Radeon R9 280X 3GB Video Card/NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 2GB Video Card - We really didn't have to pack such high-end cards into this system, and you don't either frankly, if you're not looking for gaming performance. Plus, even some of this year's most popular games still play well at 1080p on some older cards, so you can snag a bargain on an older model if you choose. Even so, Anandtech's latest GPU Benchmark tests put these guys smack in the bang-for-the-buck category, with respectable benchmarks (even though it's not totally fair to compare these two directly except for price—the 4GB version of the GTX 770 may be a better comparison, but it's significantly more than the 280X, and we get into AMD and NVIDIA leapfrogging each other at that point). If you're a PC gamer and you love turning up all of the settings on your games, pick your brand allegiance (or better yet, check how each of these two cards performs when benchmarked in your favorite games) and go with one of these. They'll get you great framerates at 1080p, and even if you're gaming at 1440p or powering multiple displays, you shouldn't have a problem at all. You might run into a little trouble if you're stepping up to a 4k display for anything but work (full-screen video and gaming will probably challenge these GPUs at that resolution) but honestly, not many of us are there yet.
- The optical drive: Lite-On 24x CD/DVD Burner - Surprised? We meant it when we said in the budget section that the optical drive that you buy doesn't really matter. Again, if you're planning to watch Blu-ray video on your enthusiast PC, you'll want to spring for the appropriate drive, but if you're not, we can't find a better optical drive and disc burner for the money. Frankly, we debated just ditching optical drives from the builds entirely, since virtually everything can be installed via USB these days. Still, we figured we could find room for 20 bucks in a build with these budgets. Still, just because you're on an enthusiast's budget doesn't mean you have to throw your money away.
- The total: $1188.87 ($1223.87 before Discounts and Rebates)

If you want more options…
Sometimes building an enthusiast's PC is more difficult than building a budget one because you have room in the budget to buy high-end components, but you don't want to go overboard or make decisions that waste your money. We hope this sub $1200 build walks the line between spending good money on components that matter without spending too much on the ones that don't.
If this is too much though, some of the biggest money sinks here are clearly the video card and the processor. While you could bump down a more affordable motherboard and save about $30, the real savings is in choosing a less powerful and high-end video card, especially since you can upgrade a video card more easily than a processor. Consider the AMD Radeon HD 7770 ($129.99) we mentioned earlier. If you're an NVIDIA fan, consider the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 650 Ti ($174.99) on for size. All three will play the latest titles on high (albeit not absolute ultra) settings without trouble, and with solid framerates.
A Note About Your Operating System
You're undoubtedly noticing that we haven't included the cost of an OS license in this roundup. The reason for that is because we don't want to assume what operating system you'll install on your build. If you want to go Linux, then your cost is nothing. If you'd rather install Microsoft Windows, you'll probably want a license for Windows 8.1 (unless you plan to downgrade.)
Newegg has OEM versions of Windows 8.1 64-bit for $99.99, which is likely what most of you would buy Enthusiasts can grab the $139 Windows 8.1 Pro x64 if needed, but odds are you won't need the added features (although Bitlocker is a useful tool.)
If you want a different version, a download code to download your own ISO or install media, or want to score a copy of Windows 7 instead of Windows 8, Newegg has plenty of options for you as well, as does Amazon, in some cases with great prices on old versions of Windows 7. At the same time, you can probably score an even cheaper copy with an educational discount if you have one, or through an employee purchase program if your workplace has a enterprise licensing agreement with Microsoft.
Additional Reading
Don't take our word for these builds. We're sure you have your own opinions on what should have made it in and what should have been excluded.
One reference that is constantly updated and invaluable for determining exactly how enthusiast you're being when it comes to the components you're buying and how much you should be spending on them is the Logical Increments PC Buying Guide. We used it as a reference extensively here, and the site is super user friendly and regularly updated with new pricing. It's a big help, and can serve as a good sanity check if your build is getting out of hand.
Also, make sure to read up on your most critical components before you buy. Anandtech's 2014 GPU benchmarks, Tom's Hardware's 2014 GPU benchmarks, and the Tom's Hardware forums are invaluable when looking for benchmarks and opinions on some of the components you may buy before you add them to your cart. The BuildaPC subreddit is also a great place to ask for opinions and guidance if you're having issues or just want the thoughts of people who have been where you are now.
We'll come back to this system builder's guide periodically to make sure it's updated with the best components for each of our builds. Remember though, take our builds as guidelines for your own research and your own PC-building project. If you have a superior build or noticed an error above, let us know in the discussions below.

Wind from the storms that blew through Tuesday night caused some damage in parts of East Texas.
The first confirmed report of damage came around 7:30 p.m in Palestine. Part of the roof of the Walmart warehouse in the 200 block of Old Elkhart Road was torn away. There was around a million dollars worth of damage to the warehouse, and one authority said Walmart had a numerous goods that will have to be thrown out.
A Palestine Church sustained some roof damage. A window was also broken by debris and insulation blew inside the sanctuary. That could take up to a month to clean all of the insulation and debris up.
The debris stretched out a mile long. Some of it got in the road and the fire department had to move it out of the way. Some of it got into nearby power lines. They shut down nearby power for safety.
There were also numerous reports of straight line wind damage in Palestine, mainly downed trees.
In Hughes Springs, two RV trailers were knocked over and several were pushed off their blocks. Cass County confirms one person was taken to a hospital with minor injuries.
Oncor reported multiple power outages in Tyler, Jacksonville, Palestine, Hideaway, Van, Athens, Whitehouse, Troup, Chapel Hill, Brownsboro, Lindale, near Caddo Creek Lake and near Ben Wheeler. SWEPCO also reported thousands more without power in Gregg, Rusk, Harrison, Cass and Morris counties.
The National Weather Service reported multiple trees down in Winnsboro, Alba-Golden, and reports of trees down across FM 1519 West south of Leesburg.
Most of the debris was cleaned up overnight, but as commuters head out to work or school Wednesday morning, they should be cautious and watch for tree limb and other debris that might be in the roadway.

Oh sure, you're all excited when they get their first tooth. But then they all come in and you find out there's an overbite or their teeth are crooked or crowded. Then it's time for the orthodontist to freak your kid out with scary pictures of how your teeth might look if you don't slap some braces on those chompers. That's how it went down when I was in the orthodontist chair at age 12. I'm not sure but I believe the average cost for braces is about 5 grand. And even if you have dental insurance it usually doesn't cover much of it. So if you're a good parent you'll show your kid the bill when it shows up.

text: My opinion about pot is very different. I'm not totally against legalizing it, but it's not something I want any of my kids doing on a regular basis. Similar to alcohol consumption...if they go out occasionally with their friends and have a good time (after 21 of course!) I won't think bad about that at all. But if they're throwing back a 6-pack every night, well, I'll feel very differently about that. I view pot as a similar thing...occasional use is no biggie (other than it's against the law right now) but I don't want pot heads. I'm sorry, but I don't know any daily use pot-heads irl that accomplished anything in their lives.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"I used the blue/green flower color choice, and I loved it! I had to slightly alter the names (I wanted first and last) and they sent me a proof following my instructions and it came out perfect! They also arrived much sooner than I was expecting. Everyone who sees them thinks they are so pretty! Love them! I'll be ordering the coordinating invitation set and thank you cards soon."
"I absolutely loved how my save the dates came out. Everyone who received them thought the magnet idea was also very creative and unique. When it came to customizing colors and editing designs, it was so easy and the staff are helpful. Every specific detail they can edit to your taste. For example, I felt there were too many swirls so they took as much as I wanted off. This came out just perfect. The quality was also worth every penny."
"I love this save the date. We didn't want to add a picture on our save the date so the options were limited. We are having a December wedding and I just love this card. Originally, it wasn't my top runner just from seeing it online until I received the sample in the mail. It is a thicker card with a nice texture. I got the rounded edges but thought the sample without rounded edges looked good, too. Definitely recommend for a simple and fun, yet elegant save the date card."
"I was so happy with these samples that I will be ordering the whole set of Fairy Tale Romance stationery for my wedding. This is a beautiful, original and classic invitation which looks stunning on the shimmer paper. Great to see something original and classic that is at an excellent price. Super fast shipping to Australia also, was very impressed with this. Thank you for having this item available WPD xx"
"We actually used this card for our Response Cards. I'd known I wanted to have a Mad Libs style response on one side with a more traditional response on the other. In order to fit the Mad Libs onto a card, we decided to use the slightly larger "Save the Date" card for the Lovely Hummingbird suite. My request for the back of the card was followed through perfectly, and they made it so you could see the image through the text, but lightened the image so the text was more easily visible. I can hardly wait to see what our friends and family say about the invitations! We got the blue Lovely Hummingbird with blue text and changed the fonts to match the ones we used on our invitations. The whole process of ordering and altering was incredibly easy!"

How can God exist beyond space and time?
I'm trying to make sense of this "existence" outside space and time. How can something , anything exist yet not exist in space-time? Something completely disconnected from length, width, height, or point in time....
Is this a "truth" that is beyond human comprehension? For maybe this may be one the "truths" that escapes the human intellect. However there are also non-sense statements that require filtering, I believe that existence beyond space and time is one statement that requires filtering.
Does God pops in and out of existence along with virtual particles? Or is God tightly curled up( about a Planck length?) in one or more dimensions of a Calabi-Yau manifold? Or is this existence as useful as the Cosmic Peanut Butter Theory?
Asking if it's possible means nothing, however. The question to ask is, what makes anyone say this? What is the evidence for such assertions? Show me how does anyone got to this statement.
Please as you deploy your arguments don't conflate suppositions with explanations, for these are not interchangeable. Just because it can be imagined, does not make it valid, or even explanatory.
And no scripture as proof.("Behold, heaven and the highest heavens cannot contain Thee... (1 Kings 8:27)) etc, Please and thank you.
Keep the mental contortions civil & courteous, even artful which is always cool. Let's learn from each other!
"You're everywhere and no where, baby
That's where you're at"
Hi Ho Silver Lining
Closing Statement from Carlos Marquez
The operational word in my question was "how" could god or anything exists beyond space and time?, And the core answer after the often heated exchanges is that some folks believe such a fantastic particular possible yet unable to render a demonstrable explanation -why?- because it is impossible.
The incredible thing is that folks believe dogmas as such without questioning. Is similar to lets say slavery or interracial marriage or the prohibition, many in power used (still do ) the Bible to back up such views and today-thanks in a big part by Secular Humanism- are not active policies in our country. Many a Christian believed that all above mentioned stances were correct just as god exist beyond space and time.
I think that as a whole mankind is evolving away from dogmas into new horizons, faith based or divinely revealed knowledge will take a backseat to reason based knowledge. And for that process there is a demonstrable "How".

The Cleveland Indians have nothing to do with it! Mankind studied nature & certainly used events as seen in nature but the applications that you speak off were produce by people l..I've never seen in any classic textbook of science such an assertion "...raw materials were place by a designer for man and all the relationships necessary for mankind to build science..."
Not, if you wish to believe that is indeed so, please be my guest, you are entitled to think as you may...

text: Quiksilver Clothing at Tillys.com!Quiksilver Background :In the late 1960's, Australian surfers Alan Green and John Law chased a dream – to live in Torquay, make a living and go surfing. In 1970 Alan and John formed Quiksilver. While in Torquay, Oz for a contest, Jeff Hakman got a glimpse of the future: Quiksilver boardshorts. The Quiksilver design was a perfect fit. In 1976, Hakman left Torquay with an agreement to distribute Quiksilver. In the U.S., Jeff enlisted the aid of his surfing friend Bob "Buzz" McKnight. Green and Law granted Bob and Jeff the American license to the magic Quiksilver boardshort. By the mid-1970s, a small Quiksilver office/warehouse/distribution center was opened in Newport Beach, California. Quiksilver designers listened to top surfers, snowboarders, and skateboarders in order to deliver a Quiksilver line of swimwear and sportswear to enthusiasts who participated in their active sports. In 1984, Quiksilver Europe was founded. In 1988, Quiksilver showed its prowess by endorsing world champion Tom Carroll. In 1990 outstanding USA amateur surfer Kelly Slater joined the Quiksilver team. Quiksilver has become far more than just a fashion apparel company. Quiksilver is a company with deep roots in the history of the demanding outdoor sports lifestyle. Quiksilver, now a truly global brand, remains a pioneering force in the most original of all sports: surfing. The above information is from the Quiksilver website.

I love to decorate for fall and Thanksgiving. I think that Thanksgiving is a time for us to be thankful for our bounty! So--get out all your best china, silver and crystal! Set the table as if you were expecting royalty! Your family and friends will greatly appreciate it. If you don't have china or nice dishes, maybe you can borrow some from your Grandmother or Aunt. If you are on a budget, another wonderful place to find dishes, is your local dollar store. You can find all kinds of charger plates (they are the larger, more decorative plates used under the dinner plate)
On this table I started with a fall tablecloth, then gold charger plates, topped with white dinner plates, followed by cinnamon colored salad plates. Next, I added matching cloth napkins with place cards. I found the place cards for $1.99 at a craft store and I used rub off letters for the guest's names. I find that if you use place cards, it helps your guests to know exactly where they are to sit and cuts down on confusion. And it makes them feel special! My centerpiece was 3 silver pumpkins in different sizes. I tucked some spanish moss under and between the pumpkins and I stuck a couple silk fall sunflowers and berries in as well.
I also used vintage silver goblets in different heights, and added fresh cut mums. And don't forget the candles! Everyone looks beautiful in candlelight! Here I used small votive candles and taper candles in crystal candlesticks. I hope this gives you the inspiration to set a beautiful fall table for your loved ones! Happy Thanksgiving!!

Wonderful addition to Fall massages. Pumpkin Spice has a wonderful (not overpowering) aroma. Needed to add a bit of massage oil to it for working on areas like the back. Overall it's a great product and I would purchase again!
I love the smell and consistency. I have it for personal use.

Welcome aboard Clippersfan03 to Clippers Topbuzz!
I have been a member of Lakers TopBuzz for many years. This is my first post here.
No, I am not deserting the Lakers. I am a Lakers fan for life -- barring complete and total idiocy by Jim Buss that makes the team unwatchable. (Which is possible, should he just want to pocket the TWC loot.)
I will not troll here or "spy" for the Lakers; simply put, I am looking for some positive news, fun and excitement -- and I am sick of Lakers Topbuzz headlines like "Lakers Interested in Lou Amundson." No diss on Lou, but this is not the Lakers team I have known since the 80's. Nor would my Lakers take Clippers castoffs like Caveman and call it a "great acquisition." Gimme a break!
I will probably not post much here and will always identify myself as a Lakers fan. Hope I don't get too much spit for this. But I will be objective. CP3 to Blake is one hellova play. And hoops fans, in the end, just want to have fun. And the Clips, truth be told, are fun to watch!
Sadly, from my perspective, the Clippers are doing everything right and Jim Buss (hiding behind Mitch, Jeannie and his late father) is doing EVERYTHING wrong.
I might be many things; a masochist is not one of them. I enjoy exciting baskbetball; I do not enjoy watching my team -- whomever that might be -- begging a player to stay via billboards. Pathetic is pathetic, no matter what team does it.
I intend to have fun, both watching and betting on games. (Small amounts, just for fun.) And if that means watching the Clippers rather than the "Old Man River" Lakers team, so be it. Call me names from both sides. I have my big boy pants on!
Go Lakers! Go Clippers!
Well you sound a bit more straight forward than the last professed Laker fan on here.
Welcome............................................................... ...............I think?
Welcome Baadmaster. I have to say whenever people are honest and straighforward you get a better reception. its always good to have other fans here.in the past we've had a lot of visitors from the Memphis fan base, for the most part they were really well behaved and were just here to talk basketball. you strike me as a very knowledgeable fan and judging from your post you shouldn't have any problems here. good to have you on board
Baad! I'm from LTB too and joined CTB last summer. Lol, I saw your post regarding Lou Amundson and yeah, I'm not too thrilled either. I mean, who would?
I remember you bad. Welcome.
It's good that we are finally making voice and are now a team who is heading into a better direction for at the moment.
Welcome Baad. At least you're an honest fair laker fan, which is a good thing!
I like this guy.
definitely a good ambassador for his team. Theres a good group of people on LTB..stay classy
BTW...last time I looked, "Los Angeles" preceded the word "Clippers." Unless I missed something!
I know a lot of people who like both teams. We also have members here that are also Lakers fans as well.
BTW, I will be watching a lot of the Lakers games this season. You guys picked up Chris Kaman and Nick Young, so I will be watching to catch a glimpse of these two and to see if Wesley Johnson can resurrect his career with the Lakers.
I just joined this site yesterday. I've been a Clippers fan since Odom was drafted. I've gotten a lot of flack over the years from guy friends for being a fan, but a real fan is a fan win or lose! Now my daughter is a die hard fan too!
^^Welcome to Clippers Topbuzz, Ms. Davis!
Congrats. I brainwashed all my stepchildren as well. They are now proud hecklers of anyone wearing purple and yellow (thats right people it is yellow, not gold), my apologies to LSU fans. If you see a little white girl with blonde hair and blue eyes booing you it is intended for the "other" team, not the Tigers
Hey there, Ms Davis!
New member over here, always visited these forums but finally decided to create an account.
Been a fan since 05-06, Clippers will always be my favorite team of all time, looking forward to meeting other clipper fans and this upcoming season
Welcome, Joey! '05-06 was when my fandom shot to new heights with that magical playoff run. Still the best team we've ever had. Hopefully this year's squad can surpass that!
Welcome Joey!
Nice to have you Joey- look forward to reading your thoughts on the Clippers!
Welcome Joey.
Names Robster from New Zealand. Going to to see my pen pal of 3 years and will be going to see my favorite team clippers play. This will be my first US sports match ever!! Can't wait.
Grats! Welcome.
im new here from the bahamas I'm glad to be here I have actually bin reading for the last three years i feel like i know some of you guys already
what do you guys think pros and cons about either one
Welcome clippertizzle.
thanks bless is anyone else in this forum from the carribean ????
this is my whole problem i think when we have a lead we need to slow the game rely on defense and give blake a chance to make post plays shooting jumpers are good but in the playoffs that will not work (gs warriors) we need to establish blake as a post threat to open up easy high percentage baskets for our other players
I am not sure you have the above post in the right thread.
Welcome, clippertizzle!
welcome bro!
Recently moved to LA, been a fan of the Clippers since the Darius, QRich, and Lamar days, now I can finally attend their games (which I actually did earlier this year). Been reading this forum for a bit, finally decided to join.
I'm new from the UK, pretty hard to watch games where I am so do a bit of catching up on here
Welcome jackfrost.
Hey Ewan.
As you can see from the Union Jack I am too. I live in Bristol. I know what you mean about watching the games, I have had some pretty late nights recently watching live streams. The games in the East are a lot better as they start quite a bit earlier. Otherwise I download games and watch them a day or two after the fact.
hey can you recommend links to anywhere good to stream/download games?
is great for downloading.
is good for streaming.
Hey guys/girls
Just wanted to say first off I am a laker fan. Second, I'm not here to talk crap or start drama. I just wanted to say a few words. First of all, congrats for finally being championship caliber teams the last couple years, lol jk. But honestly, as a lakers fan, I just wanted to say that I know we aren't going anywhere this year. So with that being said, I wish the clippers organization and fans nothing but the best and I think u outta sign Andrew Bynum.. Hed be great back up center.. Just saying
You guys also deserve a championship in the staples center as well. I mean I'm born raised in LA and I like the dodgers and the angels.. But I have never hated on the clippers, just thought they have always sucked lol. But looks like things are finally looking up for u guys and I really do wish u a ring this year.
A championship looked quite possible in the offseason when the Clippers dumped Butler and Billups and rejuvenated the wing positions with Redick and Dudley. OF course things don't always go as smothly as planned. Redick went down to injury and Dudley has been highly inconsistent.
Right now I think championship talk is premature. We are just worried about getting to full health and recouping from what we will lose in the standings during this time that Paul is out.
As for us always having "sucked" that is an unfortunate turn of events. The front office has always made very good moves in the past, some just didn't work out. Let me give you some examples: Baron Davis, and Marcus Camby were brought in a few years back. They had decent support with Kaman, Jordan, Novak, Randolph, Thornton, and others. yet that team finished 19-63. Sometimes you can assemble a good roster and injury will ruin the best laid plans. In fact, when the Clippers played the Lakers in that opening game of that year the Clippers were winning against the Lakers. Baron Davis went down in the first quarter of that game and it just seemed that it was a foreshadowing of Barons career with the Clippers.
The fact of the matter is that the Clippers made major moves in their past to become a solid team but not all moves pay off.
The problem is that in the NBA the Lakers had an extraordinary amount of luck in not suffering major injuries to their stars, until now that is. Finally last year you guys started to see how fortunate you were in the past that things didn't derail your season.
The Clippers haven't been one of the leagues premier franchises like Boston, Lakers, Spurs, or Chicago, but the idea that we sucked wasn't attributed to a buffoon owner who didn't put the right guys together. Injury was a huge part of it as well.
I posted a reply because I can't seem to put up a new welcome intro thread, don't know if this is correct...I've lived in Los Angeles for past 25 years now with family here. I've always rooted for Clippers because I'm from up north, and my nephews cannot understand how I can root for Clips vs LakersI had a season ticket with Clips back in 2000 3 rows from basket but couldn't renew, too expensive, but I'm online everyday looking for anything new on rumors, trade rumors on ClipsJust haven't joined any forums.
^ Howdy! Welcome aboard!
Welcome to Clippers Topbuzz Maran! Yes you did the right thing by saying hello in this thread!
Welcome maran!
Welcome to the board, Maran.
Why is there so many damn rules and requirements on this damn forum
New here. Nice meeting you guys. I never thought it is required to have at least 25 post. better start posting wew!!

Kelsey's Q & A
Who's your favorite sports team, and why?
I love the San Diego Chargers team since I have to represent for the state I was born and raised in! =D
What's your favorite movie quote?
My fav would have to be, "If you're a bird, I'm a bird" said by Noah from The Notebook. =) So sweet. ahhhh.
What's your favorite video game, and could you kick our butts at it?
Hahaha I haven't played this particular video game in ages, but it used to be my favorite and I'm sure I could still whoop some ass at it....Sonic and Knuckles on the 90's Sega Games! Super fun!! I used to play almost daily. =D
Piercings/Tattoos (How many? Where?)
My ears are pierced as well as my nose, and belly. I have only two tattoos of my zodiac sign on the back of my neck and some sentimental scripts on my ribcage. I'm already itching to get more soon. ;)
What's the most embarrassing song on your iPod?
Probably the Pussy Cat song by Connie Vannett. Yeah....I just think it's super hilarious. LOL
What's your best party trick?
My best party trick is more like a gift where it makes it way more fun for me: I like to go around and meet everyone I see to make as many friends as I can. Almost like a challenge game or something. haha
What's the most memorable pick-up line you've ever heard?
Hahaha boy, have I heard some crazy ones! But I did fall for the one I heard coming from behind me saying, "Are you a tamale? Cause you're Hot". LOL I only fell for it since tamales are my favorite food in the world. So the dude did start a good convo after that one. Haha
What's the worst job you've ever had?
I was a waitress/server at a Mexican restaurant. I hated it since as small as I am, they made me carry the heaviest trays with loads of food on them running past tons of busy people. I totally dropped the tray a couple times and embarrased myself with getting the food all over me. Lets just say you don't want me to be the one to serve you at a restaurant. It's just obviously not my thing. lol
What's the most dangerous thing you've ever done?
My family and I used to go to Lake Havasu every summer and go to copper canyon to jump off the cliffs into the water. I would always get so scared to jump 20 ft plus cliffs, but it was such a rush, I could never get enough.
It's 4AM after a crazy night out – what are we eating?
Always Mexican after a crazy party night! I mean who doesn't agree with that one?! It's just soooo good when you're drunk!
What's the strangest thing in your fridge right now?
I saw some weird vegetable paste in a tube that looks like a toothpaste tube. I certainly didn't buy it, but hey it's in there. Not sure what the hell it's for. Hmmm.
What's the naughtiest thing you've ever done in public?
I'm really never too naughty in public but I guess mooning someone would fall under this category. Yeah, that's right I showed everyone my ass. =/
What do you feel sexiest wearing?
I usually feel pretty sexy in some cute lounging around type of clothes. Victoria's Secret always has the best, softest lounge clothing. Maybe some boy shorts with a tee would be my go to.
Tell us a joke.
How do you make a tissue dance? -Put a little boogie in it. LOL I know, I'm so hilarious. ;D

A masculine influence pervaded women's riding dress during the 18th and 19th centuries, partly because ladies' habits were not generally made by the dressmakers who traditionally made women's clothes, but by specialist tailors or habit makers. Women also selected headwear like tophats and bowlers, although they then softened or "feminised" them by attaching net scarves. Habits from the period often featured military-style frogging or braid as seen in fashion plates of women's riding dress, which usually appeared in tailors' journals, and only occasionally in ladies' magazines. (see the Heideloff plate below) This slant towards masculinity provided endless source material for magazines like Punch, which regularly published cartoons showing aggressive women riders. More realistically, early outdoor photographs from the 1850s onwards provide a clear indication of what actual women chose to wear on horseback. Grooms, also, are often depicted holding the reins of their master's fine horse in eighteenth century portraits as below.
The chestnut-brown cloth riding habit in the main image has a short, fitted bodice and a matching voluminous skirt with side train to cover the knees when sitting side saddle. An innovative fastening under the jacket skirt prevents the jacket from moving upward, and the skirt, cut with extra room on one side, enables the wearer to ride side saddle in comfort.

The Chicago Farmer's Market opened for business in Daley Plaza on Thursday, offering fresh fruit, vegetables, plants and flowers to anyone who stops by the downtown set-up.
Locally sourced and homegrown, the city-run markets are selling a wide selection of the finest goodies this city has to offer.
FOX 32 news spoke with Bobby Chang, who runs a business called Seasons Soda. He explained how his tasty Raspberry Mint and Organic Fuji Apple Mint drinks are made.
"It's a raw, all-natural soda company based in Chicago," Chang said. "Basically, our sodas are fresh-pressed juice, slightly carbonated. No added sugars, no preservatives, most of if not all of our fruits are sourced from local farms, and if not, we source from organic family farms."
The farmer's market at Daley Plaza is open until 3 p.m. on Thursday.
The city is also launching night markets this year, which will be set up in the Logan Square and Uptown neighborhoods. For more information, visit the Farmer's Market section of the city's website.
