Pc recommendations for someone who's never had a gaming pc
Hello, I'm looking to get a pc but I'm not sure of what to get. I'm looking at two different pcs right now
Skytech's King 95 $2,050
Starforge's Voyager Core $2,900 chainsaw man themed, shipping and additional backlight included
I'm thinking that the most taxing game I'd be playing would skyrim heavily modded, my budget isn't a problem, but if not these pcs what would be recommended?
I’m looking at buying a used gaming pc, is this a good deal?
I want to upgrade from my laptop to a better gaming pc. I’ve found one I like on marketplace that’s selling for $1200 but I’m not sure if it’s a good deal or not. Here’s the specs
Omen 45L gaming PC
Ryzen 9 5900x CPU
GeForce RTX 3080TI GPU
32GB of DDR4 Ram
1TB SSD storage
Can include a 5tb external hard drive for the right price.
Let me know if you need to see pics of the pc
Thanks for your help
I built an app that I want to eventually be the ultimate app for pc gamers
Spent a long time building a desktop app that tracks your achievements, play time and way more for Steam/Epic/GOG/Xbox, EA, Ubisoft, itch + retro library __ Need Feedback
I wanted to make a pc gaming app for windows to give me motivation to actually finish my games and compete my libraries against other people on leaderboards
So I built GameSave (Windows, .NET/WPF). What it does today:
- Pulls your Steam / Epic / GOG / Xbox / EA / Ubisoft / itch libraries into one view
- Tracks your play time for every game
- Imports a retro/ROM collection and auto-fills box art + metadata by file hash — no manual scraping, and it sets up a rom player for you
- Automatically backs up your save files so you don't lose progress
- Stats, achievements, and global leaderboards across your whole library — think Gamerscore, but for everything you play instead of one platform
- An in-app economy with credits you earn for actually playing your games and a store to spend them to unlock features in the app
- A backlog manager that incentivizes you to finish the games you own instead of buying more
- Global leaderboards where you and your games compete against others
- Fully translated/localized in 40 languages
- …and a lot more
It's free and in open beta. Being honest about the rough edges: it's Windows-only for now, the UI's still getting polished, and the first scan on a big library can take a minute.
A few years ago, I had a real problem motivating myself to finish the games I owned, so I made a "completed games" spreadsheet — every time I beat a game I got to add it to the list, and it genuinely helped. But manually googling each game's info and grabbing its thumbnail was tedious. GameSave is a massive evolution of that spreadsheet: it tracks every game you play and complete, and your entire PC gaming history lives on a “History” page.
Honestly, I want it to become a must-have companion app for PC gaming, I want it to motivate people to finish their games. Ambitious, I know. I just added a Speedrunning page, and Streaming page too. Any feedback — or suggestions for what to build next — is hugely appreciated. Brutal is welcome.
Thanks for checking it out. Links in the comments. Questions/suggestions/info? Contact me

400$ pc for AAA GAMES? With Used parts is it possible
I really need that
memory! upgrade internally or add external. SSD or HDD? So many questions
I've ran out of space on my laptop (even though the msi app says i have plenty of space) I was going to just buy an external HDD without even considering upgrading internally. I like the idea of not having to have an external one plugged in all the time. Basically my questions are, Which option is better? is external cheaper? is internal a simple upgrade? (i have upgraded my ram, changed batteries and screens) And why does msi app say i have so much unused space
Thinking of going back to console
I recently got a PC a couple of months ago, and I thought I’d enjoy gaming on it. However, almost every game I’ve played on my PC is available on a console. I’ve been contemplating going back to consoles, and I’m here to ask if there are any games you’d recommend that could change my mind. I’m interested in FPS single-player games or even entire franchises. I’ve played the basics of games like Fortnite, Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, Minecraft, Apex Legends, Battlefield redsec, and Ready or Not. None of these games really captivated me. I’m looking for something that will intrigue me, whether it’s an underrated or overrated game. I just want something new and exciting.
Need advice for upgrading PC built 9 years ago
Hello! I had used some money from selling a truck to build my PC 9 years ago, which I have used with the same hardware besides adding RAM since. I have had some issues with it freezing randomly and generally want a performance upgrade as it can't run 120 fps very well which is what I would like to shoot for. Lately I have been obsessed with Dead By Daylight and most likely this will be what I mainly use it for. The game is supposed to get a graphical rework coming next year and I would like to upgrade ahead of time for it.
If anyone can give me any sort of advice on how I should go about this since I was originally just given a list of parts and put it together myself. I truly don't know where to even begin.
My specs are as follows
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 1600 Six Core Processor
GPU: Radeon RX 570 Series
Motherboard: Micro-Star International B450-A PRO (MS-7B86)
If any more information is needed I can gladly give it. I appreciate any help in advance!
Should I upgrade my PS4 I have a PC but I'm thinking of upgrading my PS4 to a PS5. So should I upgrade my PC or my PS4
Should I get a PS5 or a PC? I'm deciding I have a PC but it's bad so I'm questioning if I should upgrade it or just buy a PS5
Any ideas for me ? Don’t know much about pc
I’m switching from Xbox to PC and I play Fortnite siege fc26 and all those games I would like a pc that doesn’t break the bank like the cheapest possible pc but can still run those games I don’t care if it’s bad just as long as it somewhat compares to the quality of the Xbox I don’t mind I’m not fancy on it but just can’t be really expensive any help ??
Can I download PC games on an external storage like a hard drive and still be able to play it by plugging it into my laptop?
So I never had a PC in my life, and am going to get a laptop for uni in the near future. I want to play games but I don't want to fill my local laptop storage with game, so I was wondering if downloading game files into external hard drive will allow me to save space in my laptop local storage and still be able to play or if it will create problem?.
[suggestion] Don’t understand gaming computer specs & need advice.
Hi! I’ve been an avid sims 3 and sims 4 player for years now. I’ve been getting really into downloading mods and custom content but my MacBook cannot handle anymore.
Desktop computers are really foreign and I’m trying not to break the bank
Would this kind of computer produce good graphics, speed and hold over 100GB of mods?
If not what do you suggest??
Thanks in advance

Looking for games that run well on an i5-7500 + Intel HD 630 (16GB DDR3L)
Hi everyone,
I recently picked up a mini PC with:
Intel Core i5-7500
Intel HD Graphics 630
16GB DDR3L dual-channel RAM
Since I can’t upgrade the GPU, I’m looking for games that run well on this setup. I’m open to pretty much anything—RPGs, soulslikes, indie games, horror, action/adventure, older AAA titles, etc.
I was also wondering if Dark Souls Remastered and Dark Souls II: Scholar of the First Sin are playable on the HD 630. If anyone has tried them, what kind of FPS/settings should I expect?
I’d also appreciate any recommendations for games that run surprisingly well on this hardware.
Thanks in advance!

Looking to get my first gaming pc
Hey guys, so ive been looking into getting my first PC and I found one on marketplace near me. Works and everything but I wanted to get the opinions of people who actually know what they’re looking at. So these are the specs the seller gave and they’re asking $400 for it. I dont plan on playing any type of FPS on it but definitely modded Minecraft like crazy craft and stuff, then everything else will be mostly inde games and stuff that arent available on Xbox.
