Is this good for a first pc?

Btw I'm from the US, and I'm buying the case from Newegg and components from Best Buy. Just want to know if I need to change some stuff or to buy from somewhere else.

Please let me know if this a good parts list, or if there is any recommendation on part changes.

Hey guys,

I am new to the PC building community and have little to no knowledge on PC building. I am looking for a decent gaming build that will last at least 3 years. I was thinking of getting a steam machine, but am looking into just building a PC instead. Please call out the stupid or redundant components on the list (probably the RAM lol). The max I am willing to spend is $3000.00.

Thanks for the help!

Help estimate this PC build

Plan to move out in a month and plan to sell my PC that I've build in October 2025 and cost me around $1500 after taxes. Please help me with a reasonable price or is it better to sell it as parts?

Which two motherbaords for i7-12700K?

Hi to all you clever pc builders!

I have some DDR4 ram and 12700k that was donated to me. I am looking at two different motherboards that is available in my country But can't quite see what is better.

I am not going to OC but would maybe like to undervolt for a cooler quiter setup.

THe mobos are:

For the Asus Prime I found a test showing that the specifc power phase setup will not throttle a 12700k under cinebench load. But since i am only using the setup for gaming i dont expect throttling to be an issue at all. The z690 board has very limited heatzinks and not fortified PCIe slot etc - and can't really see the power phase setup other than "10 phases" and it being the same as the B760 "version" of the same board.

WHich would be best? I have no experience with biostar but think that the specific board is something they have pushed for those wanting a Z board for DDR4

https://preview.redd.it/02up0uohpabh1.png?width=1151&format=png&auto=webp&s=37d06c6a8c6c38bdbd9d703268e408778a1726b5

I came up with this build I basically have a budget roughly between $3000 and $3500 although I do wanna stay closer towards $3000. Can I get some recommendations for this build and be provided with good parts to substitute or a whole another build to switch to. I want this build to be purely white and it is my second PC which I plan on building.

First Gaming PC Build - ~$2,000 Budget (White RGB/Miku Theme)

FYI: This Is My First PC I have been a console person basically my whole life.
Budget: Around $2,000 USD (I’m saving up, so this is my planned budget rather than money I currently have.)

Country: United States

Primary Use: Gaming (AAA games, esports titles, and anime games), schoolwork, general use, and watching anime.

Games I Play / Plan to Play: Fortnite, Minecraft, Roblox, future Nintendo Switch 2 remote play if available, and other modern games.

Performance Goals: I would like to play at 1440p with high or ultra settings and high frame rates while keeping the PC capable of handling new games for several years.

Special Requirements: Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, at least 2TB of fast SSD storage, good airflow, and room for future upgrades.

Aesthetic Preferences: I want a white PC with RGB lighting inspired by Hatsune Miku. I like a clean white build with customizable RGB that can be set to teal, blue, and white to match the Miku theme.

Peripherals Needed: None. (I already have my monitor/peripherals picked out.)

Operating System: Windows 11.

Other Notes: I value reliability, quiet operation, and good cable management. I’m open to suggestions if they improve performance or compatibility while keeping the white RGB Miku aesthetic.

I am currently saving up for a PC build for myself In the future and I would really appreciate you guys if you could help me find parts for this PC setup that I am looking forward to in the future. Thank You.

(Build Help)Rookie looking to build my first pc

Hi guys!

I’m a rookie builder in the UK with a budget of £800–£1,000. My goal is to build a PC that can play Minecraft (with mods), Roblox, and potentially modern AAA games at 1080p resolution with 60fps at medium-to-high settings.

I already have my keyboard and mouse, but I haven't got any monitor or speakers(this can be excluded from the budget, but would be best if included). I don’t need a fancy-looking case or extra aesthetics. I’d prefer to keep it basic and prioritize performance and future upgradeability. Any suggestions or part lists would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
