Can somebody please help me out pc rig for 9000 bucks

[Katleho_kezman]

I need the expertise of the my gaming community to help me build my first gaming pc. I don't want to spend more than R9000 excluding a monitor, keyboard and mouse. I want the pc to be superior/on par with the ps4. I've always been a console gamer and i sold my xbox when the ps4 was announced but i was later put off by its media capabilities or should i say incapabilities(i was really disappointed cause i really wanted a ps4) . From my research on pc gaming components I've come with a budget for very good gaming pc.

Gpu: R4000
cpu: R1500
ram: R1000
mb: R1000
hdd: R1000
chasis+psu: R1000

I want it to be able to play most games on ultra at 1080p and room to upgrade in the future. This will be my first rig so i really would appreciate all the help i can get.

If you are super set on the PS4, just hold off a little longer. They will eventually bring in multimedia capabilities through a firmware update.

Hi

This is just a quick build that should hit most games at high/ultra settings.

CPU: Intel i5 4440 Quad Core 3.1GHz - R2475
RAM: Corsair Vengeance With Blue Heatsink 4GB DDR3 1600MHz - R658
Motherboard: MSI H81M-P32 H81 - R766
GPU: SAPPHIRE DUAL-X R9 270X 2GB GDDR5 - R3460
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Green 1TB - R846 or Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA III 7200RPM - R839
Chassis: CoolerMaster Elite 370 - R534
PSU: Corsair CX500 - R718

Total: R9457/R9450, so its only a little bit over budget.

All the prices are from Wootware.

@The Joker, what do you think?

Aren't green hard drives slower than normal hard drives?

Only slightly from what I could find.

I used it in the mock up because it uses a ridiculously small amount of power.

Got to add a alternate: Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA III 7200RPM 64MB Cache 3.5" - R839

They are, but it won't really be noticeable for general gaming. Its a reasonable compromise given the budget.

...

Good build. A little thin on the RAM side but I don't see a way to fix that within the budget without taking a significant hit elsewhere.

Without taking a significant hit, there isn't a way of increasing the RAM short of increasing his budget to R10k and double the RAM.

R200 under budget, 8GB ram and a fairly decent gaming machine. Will run most games on high to maxed out settings except for maybe BF4 but even that you'll be able to do a mix of high and ultra.
