Intel Gaming PC Build 2013 | Budget Performance

TechNutz: This guide will focus on building the best budget performance Intel gaming PC without killing your wallet. Intel has taken the CPU performance crown for quite some time now with it’s brutally efficient architecture and IPC (instructions per clock). You pay a premium however for this type of performance vs. buying an AMD based system. I have received quite a few requests lately regarding an Intel gaming PC build for $500-$600. You can get really decent performance with this kind of budget and I will update this post monthly so you get the best deal and best hardware combinations. You want a great Intel gaming PC … so let’s build one .

How do like your monitors? Specifically the W2363D.

AiirJordann233960d ago

i use my vizio 42' 3d smart tv as my monitor

TABSF3960d ago

Both of them are great

The M2394D is just used for a second monitor now with everything on the side.

I used to use it to watch TV on as well as having the PS3 and 360 connected (both in the living room.

With the W2363D I can defiantly see the difference between 60Hz and 120Hz and I find it hard to even look at 30Hz now. 3D on Battlefield 3 and Batman is amazing :)
