Anything I should change before I buy

I am a beginner in terms of PC building and that, but I have saved across years to get one. Showing me a preset of a 2500 USD thats bang for my buck would be appreciated. Any recommendations are appreciated aswell I am very new at this. (american prices)

Thanks ◡̈

So I'm building my first Pc and I'm aiming for a budget of anywhere from 700-1200. For my CPU I was thinking the ryzen 5500, however, I know nothing about motherboards. Some motherboards that could pair well with that could be a great help. Also I'm very willing to upgrade my CPU as I'm hoping for a CPU heavy build as I really only play CPU heavy games

Hey guys, I took your suggestions and this is what I have so far! https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TpBbK7
Lmk if there’s something I’m missing or you’d recommend something else. PS. Upgrading storage down the line. Using this to game on a tv with a little Vr

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Zv99rG

any problems with this? I know I have to mount the cpu-cooler frontfan a few millimeters higher to fit the 33mm ram, but the epoch xl case should support this.
Also not included in this list, I will buy 2 additional momentum 12 fans for back and top exhaust.
Cpu-wise I considered either 7800x3d or 9800x3d, but I don't like the x3d cache position on the 7800...also the 9800 is only about 70€ more, so I don't care too much.

Hello, I am about to go through with building a pc and would like to know if I have done alright as it is just inside my budget.

I want to play games like tarkov or aaa titles on high graphics settings 1440p.

Im not looking to spend a dollar more than 3k aud

Any advise would be appreciated as for as compatibility bang for buck and so on.

Is there anything I have missed? (Already have keyboard, mouse and desk)

Thank you.

Cooked this up a few minutes ago. Out of my price range but I'd love it in the future. This would either all be used or bundled, so maybe $300 less.

What I have planned so far: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/jGbtn2

I just want to know if anything I'm doing is stupid. I would love to get the price down if at all possible. I'll be using a 1440p monitor.

Would it be possible/a good idea to fit this into a mini tower rather than a mid? It would just be nice to have a smaller form factor.

hiya, my pc died a few months ago due to water damage and rust so ive been thinking of building one, this is my first time even considering building one, i've only bought pre built ones off of amazon and such but figured a built one would serve me better.

itll mainly be for games (the most "graphically intense" i can think of are subnautica 2, red dead redemption 2, project zomboid and detroit become human (and minecraft with a TON of mods and shaders if that counts (i think it does, my old pc would lag so bad))

anyway, i used some parts someone else recommended me and ask my friend who's built pcs for some recommendations and ended up with this! for anyone knowledge, how does it look? will everything fit together physically? should anything be swapped out or removed?

like i said, this is my first time even thinking of building a pc and looking into the parts so it's a bit confusing for me and i could use all the help i can get. i'd like for the price to remain around 700-750 if anything does need to be swapped out

Hi,

Thanks from different topics and discussion, I finally fixed my choice to stay on my DDR4 system for now (DDR5 is too crazy steep, I wont have the posisbility to put more than 1000 only on ram...)

So I decided to go on the 14th gen, even with the heat problem.

Problem : in France at least, even those seem to suffer from price increase,

If I dont want to buy it from strange dropshipping, i7 is around 410-429,00 €, and the i5 259€^(95)

^(Does the extra cores really will make a difference ? Or shall I even go to an older gen in order not to spend so much and wait for the ram drop ?)
^((To be fair, I'm coming from a i7-6800k so anything will be a level-up...))

^(Bonus question : What motherboard shall I look for (my goal : max of usb ports, max of HDD connexions and max of ram slots if more than 4 exists (I have 8 now...)) ? And what kind of cooling ?)

^(Thanks a lot !)

I want to build my first pc, and I want to make sure that the parts are good.

I'm going to play mostly MSFS 2024 on VR, but also some other less demanding games.

I just want your opinion on the parts, the price in the wesite is way higher than what I'll actually pay.I'm going to find the parts for as cheap as I can, and I'll buy some of the parts used.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/cZFBck BTW, gonna use tiny11 and MAS if needed Edit: changed it. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/GgFBck Edit 2: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/fXVsXf edit 3: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/P6d3ZQ

Any parts you would recommend to change?

This is a build im gonna do, what parts should i exchange for more performance to price ratio, which still look appealing and are preferably colored white. Thank u all in advance.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/gGCfPf

this is my very first pc and honestly i have no idea what im doing. i pretty much only want to run sims, roblox, etc nothing too crazy. i still want a high functioning pc with good graphics though because i have heard sims can be a pretty heavy game and i want to be able to
run heavier things if i want without needing to upgrade. so im not interested in downgrading unless its something completely unnecessary and overpowered. i did very basic research and pretty much just picked based off what was popular and looked nice. i care a lot about aesthetics and want an all white build. ideally the budget is no more than 5500 so with the current price i have a decent amount of room to upgrade, change, or add parts. absolute max budget is 6500.

edit: this is not ragebait. i seriously just don’t know what im doing here and want something nice. i have never done this before and want real help. if you don’t have any help or advice, there’s really no need to reply.
