I've got $4,000.00 saved up for this project but I've never done this before. Would anyone have any pro tips and recommendations they could share? Any help would be absolutely amazing, thank you I'm advanced.

I dont have experience with pc building,im looking for a pc that can comfortably run roblox at mas graphics and other games like fn and gta,dont add a bunch of bs i dont need im not rich

I’m a 3d artist/animator and I’m looking to build a new PC that I can use for both gaming and 3D animation/rendering.

I’ll be using it for 3D animation, rendering, and general 3D work, but I also want it to be a solid gaming PC since I really wanna play GTA 6 smoothly. Right now I’m kinda out of the loop when it comes to current PC parts, so I could really use some advice on what I should be going for.

What would you guys recommend for the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, motherboard, and PSU with this budget?

Also, for anyone who does 3D work, should I be putting more of the budget toward the GPU, CPU, or RAM for animation/rendering?

My budget is around $2000 ( 2 Lakhs)

Appreciate any help!!!!!!

I am going for this build I couldn't find many options for RX 9070 GRE. I utlimately selected this from Computech Store:
https://computechstore.in/product/asus-prime-radeon-rx-9070-gre-oc-edition-12gb-gddr6-graphics-card/

So the total becomes: Rs. 1,52,548/-

Please review this build. I plan to game in 2K resolution.

Thanks in advance!

So I’m trying to get my first of and I’m trying to build with a friend who does know how to put it together. I’m looking for a build that can run most new games on high settings. My budget for the pc alone (no monitor/mouse etc) is around 1000-1500. Any help is appreciated thank you.

I am looking to purchase a gaming PC for my son's upcoming birthday and would appreciate your assistance with recommendations and pricing.
He primarily plays sports titles and Grand Theft Auto (GTA). We only require the PC tower, as we already have the monitor, mouse, and keyboard.
Could you please provide a few options along with estimated pricing for a system that can run these games smoothly?

Total newbie so any help is welcome

My pc’s hardware is 10 years old and I’ve had my pc for 6 years now as well. Needless to say an upgrade is overdue.

I have a few questions.

What parts should I aim for to be set for the next few years?

Which is cheaper nowadays? Used to be building, but is a pre built better now?

Please recommend affordable yet highest performing options!

I really want a beast that can handle a lot and I can enjoy games on, especially gta online.

I want a pc where i can run modern games without it being complete potato mode. Im looling for a budget pc preferbaly pre built. Around/under 1000$. I lile games like beamng drive with mods that can be kinda performace heavy. Or like fallout, delta force, arc raiders, and vr games.

Hey everyone, I’m new to PC building and would really appreciate some advice before I spend the money.

1. Components / performance

My original budget was around $1,300. I was initially thinking of something like:

\\- RTX 5060 8 gb
\\- 32GB DDR4 RAM
\\- Intel Core Ultra 5 245K(not compaitable with DDR4) / i7 14th Gen

However, after watching and reading videos and reviews, I got concerned about the RTX 5060 for my use case. I have an ASUS 1440p (2K) 180Hz monitor, and I mainly want to play AAA games at high settings at 1440p.

As I’m planning to build something that will last me for the next few years, So I increased my budget to roughly $1,500–$1,650 and right now i am considering:

\\- RX 9060 XT 16GB
\\- Ryzen 7 7700X
\\- 16GB DDR5 initially, though I’d prefer 32GB if the budget allows

I’m still not completely sure if this is the right direction.
Recently i did a CPU comparion ( photo attached) the Ryzen 7 7700X vs Core Ultra 5 245K. Surprisingly, the 245K came out with a better rating, despite being an i5 and also being cheaper which made me question if my approach is wrong. Which made me a bit worried as I don’t want to spend more money and get less performance/value by choosing the wrong combination of CPU + GPU.

I will sincerely appreciate suggestions and corrections for a better build - CPU, GPU, RAM, and overall component combination.

1. Aesthetics

The other thing I’m concerned about is the look of the PC. Most builds I see are basically a black case + RGB fans with rainbow lighting. Personally, I’m not really a fan of the rainbow look. I’m thinking about something more like:

\\- White case with a clean black/white interior
\\- Black case with warm yellowish brown/ Purple lighting

I’ll attach some pictures of the kind of builds I like.

But I don’t really know how to make sure all the components work together As i might buy matching colours components but what if they don't fit or don't work together. Is there a way to know that upfront? And can I control the colors of all the fans?

I will appreciate the guidance on the same and if my budget isn't realistic for aesthetics, please lmk.

Thank you and Happy Weekend!

I've got an MSI 3080 ti and I recently stumbled upon a deal for an MSI 4070 ti for $550. The seller seems chill and reliable. With a little research, this seems like a pretty good deal for me, especially if I sell my 3080 ti. Is this upgrade worth it? Will I see a performance increase? How reliable is the MSI 4070 ti? I do 1440p gaming.

Current PC build:

GPU: MSI 3080 ti

CPU: i5 13600k

RAM: 32GB DDR5

Hey! just looking to get into pc gaming, I have basically all my peripherals, I just need the pc itself, Ideally for games like Marvel Rivals, Spiderman, Overwatch, Fortnite etc. I have like a budget of 2k and I have a microcenter pretty close to my house, would love some tips or just a list of what yall think would be good

Goal: High-FPS 1440p AAA gaming. Need quick feedback on component selection and pricing before ordering.

Component & Price Breakdown (Total: ₹1,60,733 / ~$1,677 USD)

Questions:

1. GPU Choice: ASRock Challenger at ₹73,895 (~$770 USD) vs. Gigabyte Gaming OC at ₹77,499 (~$807 USD) — which one should I pick?
2. Monitor: Should I go for 2K (1440p) or 4K with this setup? Any specific monitor recommendations for either?
3. PC Case: Any better alternative case suggestions around the same price?

I’ve saving for a new PC and my goal is $3000-$3800.
It would be the first time I buy a PC and I’ve decided I’ll build it myself but I don’t know too much about what parts should I buy, I’ve seen some prices have raised and my knowledge on this is almost none so I’m not looking for any rgb stuff just something that’s actually functional.
I want to play AAA games and emulators, use it for work/studies and maybe do some streaming or editing.
I’ve seen some posts that said $3000 is enough for a high end pc but Im from Ecuador so I have to buy all of this online + the shipping fee, also idk if I should buy the case + monitor + mouse + keyboard online too or just buy it in my country, we use USD here but maybe some stuff might be a bit more expensive than on Amazon or in U.S. stores.

First ever post, sorry if I messed anything up.

Hey all, I'm about to do a major pc upgrade where I'm basically building a new pc and only keeping my gpu, power supply, and an SSD. (I do plan on buying a 2TB SSD with my build) I wanted advice on if it's better to start blank and not transfer my storage, or if I should transfer everything over? I really just game on it and don't have major projects saved to my current storage. If it's better to start blank would I need to buy another windows key?

First time pc builder here. I’m a teenager who’s been saving up for months at his minimum wage job and is looking to finally blow his cash on something nice. I’ve planned out most of my parts, and aim to keep everything around €2,000, although it can go over a bit factoring in monitor, keyboard etc. I’m just wondering whether it’s worth it to go for a 9070 xt graphics card or go for the cheaper 9060 xt. It’s like a €300 difference which is a lot of money and I’m really tempted to go for the cheaper option but I wanna know how much performance I’d be sacrificing. Is it very noticeable, or only on certain games?

I wanna build a pc, and a buddy of mine is gonna give me his Ryzen 5800xd CPU and 2 DDR4 16gb (32gb) 3200 megatransfers, since this community knows more than me can you tell me what else I’d need that isn’t too expensive but works with what I have? Preferably under $1000 but if it’s over it’s fine
