In this post,I will discuss about the best high end gaming PC configuration and pricing.The avid gamer like to have that ultimate gaming rig that can give them an over the edge gaming experience. It takes an effort and a big wallet to spend on those ultimate machines. We will try to have a crack and rip down those gaming rigs to their barest components that make up these monstrous machines. We will tear apart five such gaming rig configuration, which can boast of playing all the new titles be it Battle Field 4, assassin’s creed 4 or far cry 3 with ease and smoother frame rates and higher resolutions for that finer detail.
AMD’s latest offerings are the real powerhouse when it comes to desktop computing, noteworthy among them are the A10 series processors (A10- 6800K- approximate pricing $119.99, is worth considering).
For AMD, we can definitely look for GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-D3H (priced under $100).
The processors might not be running cooler under the stock cooling fan; we surely do need a better CPU cooler like high performance Corsair cooling Hydro series H80 (approximate pricing US $150.00).
High end
To get the meat out of these processors consider RAM between 8 to 16 GB (G – Skill’s Rijaws X and corsair’s vengeance are good options, 16 GB of Ram is retailed at approximately $ 120), to beef them up
From the peripheral side, they need to be augmented with the considerably high quality power supply (minimum recommended 850 W power supply) and a blue-ray disc. Some of the power units worth considering the range (800 - 850 W) are Corsair Enthusiast Series 850-Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified.
To add juice to the machine, augment the machine with the HD audio system and gaming keyboard and mice.
To conclude, we might have to shell out somewhere near to $2000 to assemble our dream gaming rig.
Processors for high end gaming PC configurations
We have the option to go for AMD gaming rig or Intel processor based gaming rig. Let’s have a look at the best offered by the Intel for the game enthusiasts. Intel’s ivy bridge (3rd Gen processors) is very good and should play games without much of a problem, but then the chip manufacturer has launched the Haswell chips (aka 4th Gen processors) recently. So going with the evolution the newer chips are more recommended, here will consider the best three options from Intel. We can always start with the Intel i7 4770K (here first 4 in 4770K stands for 4th generation k is for over clocking supported), Intel i5 4670K, and still going strong from the previous generation are Intel i7 – 3970X (approximate pricing$1059. 00TRAY: $999.00), and Intel i5 3570K (approximate pricing BOX: $235.00 TRAY: $225.00).AMD’s latest offerings are the real powerhouse when it comes to desktop computing, noteworthy among them are the A10 series processors (A10- 6800K- approximate pricing $119.99, is worth considering).
Motherboards for high end gaming PC configurations
Now to turn our attention to motherboards for the Intel 4th gen processors we can rely on ASUS SABERTOOTH Z87 (with Intel Z87 chipset) supporting over clocking features (retailing at US $249), another worthwhile option is ASRock Z87M Motherboard (retail at US $ 200). MSI and Gigabyte also provide some high end mother board with Z87 Intel chipsets.For AMD, we can definitely look for GIGABYTE GA-F2A88X-D3H (priced under $100).
The processors might not be running cooler under the stock cooling fan; we surely do need a better CPU cooler like high performance Corsair cooling Hydro series H80 (approximate pricing US $150.00).

High end gaming PC Graphic cards
we need to have a high end graphics card like NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 ( approximate pricing $1,069.99), AMD Radeon HD 7990 (approximate pricing $1,066.44), Nvidia GeForce GTX Titan (approximate pricing $676), NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti (approximate pricing $680), Nvidia GeForce GTX 770 (approximate pricing $369), AMD Radeon HD 7970 (approximate pricing $396.67).From the peripheral side, they need to be augmented with the considerably high quality power supply (minimum recommended 850 W power supply) and a blue-ray disc. Some of the power units worth considering the range (800 - 850 W) are Corsair Enthusiast Series 850-Watt 80 Plus Bronze Certified.
Power supply
Power Supply (approximate pricing $150), Seasonic PLATINUM-860 ATX 860 Power Supply (approximate pricing $225). The power supply should never be less than what is required for a serious gaming rig. In the higher range (900 - 950 W); the beasts are Corsair CMPSU-950TX 950-Watt TX Series 80 Plus Certified Power Supply, PC Power & Cooling 750W Silencer MK II High Performance 80PLUS Silver SLI CrossFire (approximate pricing $125 for both the PSUs). But our recommendations that you never get short of power supply are 1000+ Watt PSUs like Cooler Master Silent Pro Gold 1000W 80 PLUS Gold Power Supply (approximate pricing $200), Seasonic PLATINUM-1000 ATX 1000 Power Supply (approximate pricing $300).To add juice to the machine, augment the machine with the HD audio system and gaming keyboard and mice.
Display for gaming PC
The gaming rig is worthless without a high resolution HD display. To name a few, we have Dell Ultra Sharp U3014 (30 inches, 2560 X 1600 display and with a price approximately 1200 US $), Lenovo ThinkVision LT3053p (30 inches, 2560 X1600 native resolution, approximate pricing are US $1600). Though 30 inches is what we recommend for a gaming PC but 27 inch display monitors are worth a buy like Dell Ultra Sharp U2713HM with 2560 X 1440 native resolutions and with approximate pricing in US $ 800, LG ColorPrime 27EA83-D with 2560 X 1440 native resolutions and with approximate pricing in US $ 800.Memory for gaming PC
Finally, we need to store data and for that, we recommend to go for SSD like Samsung 840 EVO series 250 GB SSD (retails at $150), and 2 TB of HDD @ 7200 rpm (Seagate or WD retail between $100 to $150).To conclude, we might have to shell out somewhere near to $2000 to assemble our dream gaming rig.
