Purpose of this post is to do a final sanity check before the purchase. If you want to then feel free to build one from scratch instead of using my cart as a baseline. Please don't use pcpartpicker, in my country things that cost $500 on picker cost $600 for me.

I'm mainly looking for a build that can run most modern AAA games at high settings 1080p (or 1440p if I'm being generous), will last me a pretty relatively long time, and is budget-friendly. I don't care much about 4k gaming, so that is pretty much out of the question. Also scared of high prices, so $1000 or a little above (just a LITTLE above $1000, to note) is kind of the limit. Other key things:

• I have a small room, so it should preferably be pretty small
• This is a brand new build
• Not as much of a "hardcore" gamer as I used to be, and I mostly play singleplayer games, so please take this into consideration
• This PC is primarily for gaming, but I will also use it for general purposes (watching movies, etc.)
• I don't want any flashy colors
• Wifi connection is preferred
• Decently priced 1080p or 1440p monitor; one monitor is preferred
• I have a Micro Center near me, and I live in the US
• List of games I want to play on this PC: Death Stranding, Metaphor ReFantazio, Crimson Desert perhaps, etc.
• Not a request

Thank you!

Request! Hi everyone! I can finally get an actual gaming pc after dealing with laptops for years :D Im looking for a completely new build or a pre-built that fits what I need.

- I have a monitor that I will be using: LG UltraWide 34WR55QK-B - 34 inch - 3440 x 1440 (UWQHD) - VA panel - height adjustable.

- I do need speakers but do not have a lot of space on my desk for something big.

- I want to be able to run Baldur’s Gate 3 very smoothly and have the graphics look good as well. Been playing it on my Mac for a few months now and it is incredibly slow and looks bad. Would also like to be able to play modded Stardew and Minecraft. Maybe some other games similar to BG3 soon! (Any recs? :)

- I also will be using the PC for sound design in ProTools.

- Purchasing country: the Netherlands

- My max budget I would say is about €2500 (willing to go a bit higher if necessary but would prefer to stay below this price.)

- Wifi connection (but would like it if it had both if that’s even possible for whenever I move out.)

- no size constraints really, I would like for the noise to be not too loud to disturb me while doing sound design.

- Color/lighting preferences not really but maybe something I could change myself would be nice to adjust as I want :)

Thank you soooooooo much for any help I’m very excited to finally have a good gaming PC :D

Hi! Here's what I'm trying to do. I will really appreciate help on this one. Trying to order ASAP. Thank you!

• New build
• Have 2 dell monitors, keyboard, mouse, just need a tower
• PC purpose: some FPS gaming (like overwatch) and sim racing + photo editing of large catalogs in C1.
• Purchase country: USA, will order delivery
• No monitors needed
• Budget range: $1,800-$2,200 pre tax
• WiFi connection
• Ideally, miniITX, but I don't think it's possible without big sacrifices in that price range. So... full size, I guess?
• Color/lighting preferences: doesn't matter as much, although preferably less RGB
• Any other specific needs? Will run multiple screens and editing, so 32GB RAM is better, although I might upgrade in the future. 2TB+ storage

Hello, I currently have a PC with an 4060 GPU, and I’m trying to build a new system with better components that can still take advantage of my current graphics card, while also being able to support a better GPU in the future, possibly an 5070 Ti.

I mainly need it for gaming (Fortnite, GTA V, COD) that can run at 120 FPS, and also for encoding MKV videos to MP4, which is my part-time job.

My budget is around $23,000–$25,000 MXN, which is approximately $1,350–$1,450 USD.

These are the components I currently have in mind:
CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Spectrum V3
GPU: ZOTAC RTX 4060 Twin Edge OC 8GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte B650 Eagle AX
RAM: Kingston Fury Beast DDR5 32GB (2×16GB) 6000MHz CL36 EXPO
SSD: ADATA Legend 900 NVMe Gen4 1TB
Power Supply: Cooler Master MWE Gold 850 V3 80+ Gold Modular
Case: DeepCool CG530

Any recommendations or alternatives?
Thanks in advance!!

New build

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

None

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/ games)

College school work: so having 15 tabs open while doing research. Teams/zoom calls lots of storage needed.

Gaming:

Games I play: Sims 4 heavily modded

Stardew with mods. Sunhaven, minecraft on occasion, any cozy game situation.

Games I will never play: shooters, driving, things like fortnight or league.

Discord and some music editing.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

USA and near a Micro Center, Charlotte NC area.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

No/I can choose one based off the build. I am open to reccomendations if you want. I may want to use 2 monitors in the future so id want it to be able to support that.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

Id like to keep ot under $2000

WiFi or wired connection?

needs to be wifi compatible but id like the option of plugging it in with a cable.

Size/noise constraints?

no size limit, Id prefer to keep it as quiet as possible

Color/lighting preferences?

All black. I'd rather spend money on the hardware than the aesthetics.

If youre feeling up for a challenge or can fit it in with my budget, Id love a black, orange, and purple build. (Halloween)

Any other specific needs?

The most important part to me is that I do not want to psychically build this myself, I want to buy the parts and pay someone else to put it together. I want very minimal maintenence just plug it in and go.

I also want something that will last me for years

Id like nvme storage, i7 or equal to i7, and ddr5

Thank you and I appreciate all/any help!

Howdy y’all. So I currently am using Shadow PC, the Virtual Computer software that you can use with a Mac. But, it’s tiring to use, so, instead of paying $60 a month for something that isn’t even mine, I figured why not just pay for my own pc monthly I’ll eventually own.

I will be using a website/pc building company to build it for me, but I need to know what parts to select because I know nothing about PC’s.

To start off, i’m in the United States, and my budget is around $60-70 a month financing.

I mainly play RDR2/RedM, FiveM, and I also want to be able to efficiently run Subnautica 2, Ready or Not, and a bunch of other modern and new games at minimum 60 FPS. I don’t care about this whole 120+ FPS thing, I just need atleast 60.

With that, I also want a good amount of storage. I only have 1 terabyte on my drive but i’d like 2 if possible, if not that’s perfectly fine.

I just want a PC that has a good graphics card, case, memory, power supply, etc that all works with each other wonderfully. I want it to last me YEARS without needing to change out a single part every month or so.

Dont worry about figuring out the monthly finance budget, I can do that myself buy taking all the parts you recommend.

Hello, here is the link to my pcpicker list: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/nz4RTm

My goal with the PC is 3D animation with things like Blender and 3D art, plus design programs.

Secondary would be Gaming, I think this is high-ish gaming, as I'm looking to not upgrade anything for awhile.

My budget was $4-5k CAD and this hits the middle. I do not believe I'm missing anything. Please let me know if I'm missing anything, need something/things won't work together.

Thank you.

"Gaming PC" a new build

It can be any price as long as it can play games at 1080p up to 180 to 120 fps cuz the monitor price mouse price and keyboard is also included and as long as it used a amf based system it doesn't matter if it's zen 3 4 or 5 and at least 16gb of ram or more would be nice and the GPU Should at least have 8gb of vram and it should at least have a SSD name 1tb gen 3 or 4 not under and the motherboard should support at least one USB type C port now is this pc possible in this economy?
