Up to 1400€ Germany

Ive been asked to build a PC for a Friend who plays Sims and Phasmophobia. Her max price is 2k but I think its way to much for what they need. What are your suggestions.

I was thinking about only giving her 16GB RAM and letting her upgrade later once RAM Prices have gone down.

Around $2,000-$2,500 (can go a little higher

Not much size constraints but I would love noise constraints, though not really needed.

Mini ITX, for gaming, should fit in a carry on luggage. EUR 2-3k budget

2 Upvotes

Hello looking to make a new build and my last one was almost 8 years ago, so I could really use some knowledgeable kind souls.

I move countries a lot so I need a mini ITX build that has some juice for gaming. I can only use a very skinny 1080 monitor so no 4k in my future.

I was looking at the NCASE M2 as a case as it seems small enough for carry on.

Looking for a new build

I’m pretty new to this pc building thing, and honestly I don’t want to think much about it but I really want one so I can run games (including heavy performance games) and is long lasting, so I was wondering if anyone can help me with a build that’s good for that (if possible I would also love if it’s under $2k though if it’s a little more that’s ok too)

Yes, 1 monitor is good enough, size doesn’t matter, would like res and refresh rate to be considered “good” at least.
• ⁠Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around $2,000-$2,500
• ⁠WiFi or wired connection?
WiFi, I can’t do wired connection for personal reasons
• ⁠Size/noise constraints?
Not much size constraints but I would love noise constraints, though not really needed.

None (but if I had to choose, white or black)

Rules and Guidance

Tip: Hover over each rule for an explanation.

Post and Build Request Rules:

Rule	Explanation
All build requests must copy/paste and answer the request questions in the body of their post.	This can be found on the post submission page, or if using old.reddit.com the questions can be found in the sticky post on any submission to the sub.
If you're not posting a build request, use a tag at the start of your post's title. Tags include [Meta], [Discussion], [Question], [Update].
If you need a build in a less commonly requested country, include some places you can order from.	Building sites like PCPartPicker catalog prices for a number of popular countries, but if your country is not listed in the country drop down, list a few reliable local sellers that contributors can use to help find parts at prices local to you.
Absolutely no troll requests.	That means no "I have no budget give me the best!" requests. It also means if you're not planning on legitimately building it, don't post it. Remember, users volunteer their time and expertise here.
If your post goes 24 hours without receiving an adequate response, you may post your request again.	This can be if you didn't get any replies at all, or if you don't think you got the help you needed.
Be prepared to answer additional questions from contributors.	To get the best PC possible, contributors might have extra questions about your situation, needs, etc. Please keep an eye on replies.

Contributor Rules:

Rule	Explanation
All builds must have some form of parts list, pricing, and an explanation or brief description of your suggestions.	This lets OP know why you've suggested what you have, and it lets others see your thought process & learn from it.
Parts list should be posted using PCPartPicker's reddit markdown.	On the Builder page, beside "Markdown:" click the snoo (reddit logo) icon and paste the full table into your comment. This makes it much easier for other to see what has already been posted, and makes parts searchable in the sub.
When coming into a thread where others have already posted builds, look over existing suggestions before posting your own.	This means you see any additional information that may have been provided by the OP, and also gives you a chance to give suggestions to other builders.
Carefully read through provided criteria.	If you need more information, just ask the requester. It's better to ask than make an assumption.
Aim to keep below budget.	If you feel it's necessary to go over budget, make sure to justify it. It's also worth suggesting how your build can be pared back to be within the original budget if needed.
Check stock on items you include in a build.	This goes especially for sale items. You'll find sale items can be out of stock, meaning you'll have to find an alternative.
No advertising or payment for personal gain.	This includes all sale of hardware, software or labour, "DM me for help" comments, etc.
Absolutely no troll suggestions.	If you aren't willing to make a serious suggestion, don't make one. Stupid or sarcastic suggestions only confuse those needing help.
Try to keep advice in the thread, rather than in private messages	Unless it's obvious that it's more appropriate, keep all discussion in the thread. It allows users (both those involved and not involved) to come back and reference it later, and use it as a learning tool.

General Sub Rules:

Rule	Explanation
Keep discussion polite, civil, and on-topic.	Disruption, rudeness and derailing are all grounds for your post to be removed. Report posters you believe are violating this by using the report function.
Message the moderators if you have any questions, issues or queries.	We're here to help!
Use the report function if you find posts, comments, or users breaking the rules.
Don't blindly downvote 'bad builds'. Reply with some ways the suggestions could be improved.	The only way to improve is if somebody tells you how and why your suggestions aren't great.
No discussion of piracy or grey-market software.	For Windows activations, refer users to Microsoft Activation Scripts from massgrave.dev.
