How much would it cost if i built my own computer to run games like DayZ, BF4 & games like that decently. Nothing too special but something that can run them pretty easily.

What is your budget and currency? (Pound sign does not work normally, use GBP abbreviation)
Do you need a monitor?
Do you need a keyboard?
Do you need a mouse?
Do you need an operating system?

If you fill out these questions we can give you an idea of the parts your money could buy; which games you could run with these parts, and the resolution you could expect to play games at.

We will need everything mouse, keyboard, monitor & OS. I will also need to be able to make multiple of them if that would somehow be an issue. USD is my currency.

Can't help without a budget. Peripherals are going to set you back $150 at least, so what is your budget including mouse, kb and monitor? You need to make multiple of what?

I have no limit, could buy $10,000 but would like to keep it around $800-$2000 unless $2000 is too overkill

@Apinity - he needs peripherals.

OP- Will you overclock or not?

Also, what did you mean by this?;

I don't understand?

I'm opening a business that's basically a gaming lounge, i don't want computers that are too expensive but i want them to be able to play a lot of games.

How many computers would be looking at buying altogether?
It really helps set a defining budget on what you are going to be able to purchase.
I mean, people could easily suggest a $5,000 build.

One thing you could look into is a software solution for multiple stations.
You could get a few really high-end computers then split out the performance across two different terminals.


Peripherals-wise. You should look into ambidextrous mice if you are opening a gaming lounge.
I would suggest the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . I can vouch for the Sensei range, I have the non-raw version of the Sensei and it is a brilliant mouse.

For the keyboard, I would recommend the [ Register or Signin to view external links. ] . It's a very good, compact keyboard which should help save some space on each station. Countless good reviews for the Quickfires.

[ Register or Signin to view external links. ] is the monitor that will almost definitely be suggested by others here. I currently have 2 of these as my side monitors and probably use them more than my main central one . Very nice monitor, brilliant for the price.

If you paired Apinity's build above with these peripherals, you'd have a pretty sweet setup that could run pretty much everything maxed at 1080p.

If you don't want to bother overclocking, you could look into something more like an i5-4460 instead of the 4670k.
