• What do I need to build a Gaming PC
    10 replies, posted
I can't seem to find one simple list on google for what ever reason (also I plan on getting a i5 and 1060 so things like motherboreds and power supply tips would be appreciate)
All the internal parts, an operating system, a keyboard and mouse if you don't already have them. Same goes with a monitor, speakers, etc. Give us a budget and let us know what you have besides just the tower.
Best place to start is to give a budget and what you actually need. [url]https://pcpartpicker.com/[/url] is a great way to put together builds
I saw a pre-built PC with an i5 and 1060 for around $1200-$1300 I would hope to save alot but would be willing to spend that for a prebuilt ( I already own a tower )
Assuming it was just the tower+windows for that price, this beats it in price a bit and definitely in quality by a good amount. Still need you to answer my question on what all you need.

Annyways, to see what you have: -Download speccy, run it and post results here. -Open your case and post the make and model of your power supply.

I might just keep my current pc and fix it[/QUOTE] Can you try to describe the noise? Is it whirring, clicking, sound like something hitting something else?
[QUOTE=FlakTheMighty;50953757]Can you try to describe the noise? Is it whirring, clicking, sound like something hitting something else?[/QUOTE] Just the fan going really strong
[QUOTE=theevilldeadII;50953895]Just the fan going really strong[/QUOTE] This usually means overheating, as the fan speed is controleld by the temperature. Download HW monitor (free) [url]http://www.cpuid.com/softwares/hwmonitor.html[/url] And look at the temperatures when you hear the fan going "strong".
