Good specs for a new gaming computer

[sextornado69]

Im thinking about building my own gaming compter. for games like warthunder,minecraft,and other random online games. I want to know what would be some good specs for a gaming computer?

Well, those games will not require anything hard core in terms of specs. But, to answer your question, it all depends on the particular games you play and, at what resolution you like to play at. So, no-one will be able to give you a one size fits all gaming spec. But, here is what I'd look for:
Quad Core CPU, 4GB RAM,Dedicated GPU and 7200rpm HDD.

You will need to provide us with the following if you want us to recommend specific parts.

Budget
Location
Monitor Resolution

+1, I can get you a cart going, I mainly need your budget, and what currency you use so I can convert it for you.

I live in USA and my budget is $850-700. My monitor is a tv and it's 32inch so idk resolution

So does your budget require an OS and keyboard/mouse? And you don't need a monitor right?

That is a good budget for a decent gaming PC. I need to know what resolution the TV is and what games you will be playing.

Most TVs are generally 1280x720 or 1920x1080 which isn't a huge range. Either way it doesn't really matter given that he'd probably want to get the best graphics card to fit well in that budget.
One thing to note is that TVs may have hefty input lag!

Intel Core i5 3570K + P8Z77LK + GTX 660 + Corsair Vengeance + Corsair 650W + WD Caviar Black + Corsair 200R

32inch TV could be 1366x768 too. Either way, 1080p is the max, which means that you can pull some decent frames.

I'd go with a 660 Ti or higher, though.

Look at the games he is playing though.

Fair points but ultimately it's probably be the best card that fits in his budget regardless of the target.

True. Say he wanted to get into different genres at a different time.

Plus, if he's with a TV now he's not going to 'upgrade' the resolution for a very long time, regardless of the TV purchase. Gives some more future proofing.

My budget doesn't include a keyboard mouse case or and of the smaller things. I probly will end up playing battlefield or something like that. I will also possibly just get a accual computer monitor. I will look into all the specs u guys gave me. I will Post back when I am done. P.s thanks for the suggestions and specs ect!

If you can bump up your budget to a 1000 you can easily accommodate a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.

FPS games suck on a TV. The input lag is gonna make you miss shots, die a lot, and rage a lot.
