How to Build my own Games PC

RevRam · 2014-04-09 13:15:30

Hi all I am 15 and I would like to build my own Games PC and I would like some suggestions from enthusiasts and experienced games developers for what the best Mother board and graphics card I would need. How much Ram would be required to start out with and the software that I could use....Thanks for your help. RevRam

Are you looking to build a computer to play or develop games on?

I'd be inclined to follow witnessmenow's advice and check out the system building forum. I'm not really very current with hardware, only read up when I'm in the market for a new computer.

The only thing I wanted to say was if you are building a new computer for the express purpose of game development, you might find it isn't necessary. In many cases, an old computer is fine for development. Mine is 4 years old, and it does the job : )
