You're going to have a $200 graphics card, a $150 processor, a $80 motherboard, $80 in RAM (this is actually underestimating, PS4 RAM is better), $80 power supply, $50 hard drive, $50 case. And this is a low-end estimate of... $690. Not quite. Link to $460 build with actual prices and links, not just estimations. If you want to upgrade the CPU a bit just add $40.

It really isn't that difficult. If you need guidance there are walkthroughs, but you probably won't. That being said, I wouldn't try a liquid cooled system on your first build.

Soraya Xel wrote:It really is pathetically simple. It's a lot scarier than it sounds, but it's very straightforward, and I'm sure my grandma could do it if she had to. The hard part is picking the right parts, as evidenced by the awful suggested build Ripley linked. You know you can swap out the parts that hurt your fewings and keep the price in the same bracket, right?
