Prologue -
Most of us love gaming on our PC's with titles like Counter-Strike, Call Of Duty, Need For Speed, Overwatch etc. But all of us, at one time, feel like our PC's could be far better.
Gaming in HD, maximum effects etc. takes a huge toll on our computers hence we disable them. But it diminishes the beauty of the game. All the efforts of the game designers is fully enjoyed only on beefy PC's.
Everyone must make at least one PC in their lifetime, it is just as enjoying as any hobby and you can proudly show your effort to everyone. I will show how to make a killer PC without burning a hole in your pocket.
Motherboards -
NOTE - Be careful to only buy the motherboard that fits to the processors socket. All you need do is check motherboard socket and make sure it same as your processor. I will mention it for my recommendation.
Processor -
Make sure you have both motherboard and processor fit. Overclocking them will give more bang for the buck, but also check for heating issues.
Power Supply -
Optimum power is necessary for mid-high power gaming rigs.
Case -
When it comes to cases, there is no single "best" case. It depends on the preference of the gamer.
Assembling -

Graphics card is extremely necessary for mid-high power gaming. If you play light games then AMD CPU is more than enough. But if you want to play titles like COD, NFS, Crysis at high effects and resolution, GPUs make a huge difference.
ZOTAC GeForce GTX 750 Ti (from last post) Buy here.

NOTE - If you have a AMD Processor then you can pair it with the AMD Graphics Card and increase the gaming performance drastically. Check this link to find the tutorial.
RAM -
For most modern gaming titles 8GB RAM is good enough but I suggest 16GB RAM as not only does it future proof your PC but gives you more room to stress your PC.

Assembling -
- Buy the listed components, if you feel like buying something else, feel free to. But you must have these at all cost - Processor, RAM, Case, PSU, Motherboard. Optional items are - Fans, Liquid Cooler, Gigabit Ethernet, Sound Cards, Graphics Cards, Keyboards, Mice, Monitors, Speakers, Microphones, Webcams etc.
- Make sure you have antistatic gloves while doing the first installation. If not, you can just put the motherboard on its box and assemble.
- See here if you are building Intel CPU PC.
- See here if you are building AMD CPU PC.
- Install the CPU and RAM on the motherboard along with the power supply and switch it on. If the monitor lights up, you are good to go.
- Now install all the components and fit the motherboard into the case.
- Buy a copy of Microsoft Windows or torrent it here.
- Install Driver Booster. If you do not have torrent it here. It is extremely important as this app install all the necessary drivers for your components.
- Overclock your GPU and CPU. This squeezes every little bit of power they can provide. Check my previous post on how to overclock and improve general performance.
Epilogue -
That's it for this time, mates. Hope you enjoyed the post, and maybe even building your first PC.
