Help Build Dream PC
Decided to bite the bullet and go all in on my dream white build, thumbs down AI bubble and all that.
Need sage guidance and eyes over my draft list, is it over kill? I want to knock this down cheaper but I really value aesthetics and all the shiny stuff (god help me).
New build or upgrade?
- New build, this will be my first time building a PC.
Existing parts/monitors to reuse?
- None. I'm starting from scratch.
PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
- Primarily gaming, alongside everyday use and work.
- I'd like good gaming performance with the ability to play modern games at high settings.
- Games: Modded MC, modded sims, age of empires, csgo, etc.
Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
- United Kingdom, so purchasing from UK retailers.
Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
- I haven't chosen a monitor yet. I'd ideally like a good-quality monitor suitable for 1440p gaming.
Budget range?
- My absolute limit is about £3k, ideally would like £2.5K
- I'm flexible with my budget and happy to spend more where worthwhile, but I don't want to waste money unnecessarily.
- I'm prioritising aesthetics, quality and ease of assembly over finding the absolute cheapest components as I'm so tired of searching and comparing, I've hit a wall with it all.
WiFi or wired connection?
- I'd like both Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, as well as Bluetooth.
Size/noise constraints?
- I've chosen the HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite case, so I'm happy with a larger PC.
- I'd prefer it to run relatively quietly, with good airflow and cooling.
Colour/lighting preferences?
- An entirely white build is very important to me.
- I want a clean, aesthetic PC with matching white components, coordinated RGB fans and minimal visible cables.
- I've specifically chosen the HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite for its panoramic glass design and integrated touchscreen.
- I'd also like an LCD liquid cooler that I can customise.
Any other specific needs?
- I'm a complete beginner, so ease of assembly is important.
- I'd prefer components that work well together without complicated wiring or multiple RGB controllers.
- I've chosen Corsair iCUE LINK fans and cooling to simplify cable management.
- I'd appreciate advice on compatibility, fan placement, airflow and whether I'm missing any necessary cables or accessories.
- I've had a crack at listing a few things below, please give me advise on whether I can change/save on anything !!
