You guys have probably received a message like this before, but have you guys ever considered creating a recommended peripherals list for these build guides. That correspond with the budget of course.

What is better for money and performance, an Intel or AMD PC? I've been told AMD is better also because some monitors have Free-Sync. But what about the performance?

I'm new to building pc's so forgive me if this is a stupid question but wouldn't you need an operating system in the part list for the pc to even work?

Has anybody bought these parts and built this pc if so hmu because I wanna know how good it is for my first gaming pc thanks

theres no amd version?

Hey, this is my first time building a pc and need some advice. I want to run games like GTA at 60fps and 1080p. I don't know ANYTHING about computers and I just want something with a good bang for your buck. My budget is about $400 - $700 USD without things like a monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset. The less important the item the cheaper it can be. Things like cases are less important to me and can be cheaper, I still want good cooling though. If someone can help me that would be great. I like this build but I also don't know what it can do. Thank you.

The link to the AMD version is broken.

I see almost no reason to go with a build like this. You can get a R5 2600 for $25 less. And that HDD is absolutely terrible. I have the same exact one.

The AMD build links to nowhere. Something like this could work. Better components for same price point.

Please can someone give me feedback on the following parts list and if the parts I picked are reliable and won't fail within a few months? My Parts List

Hi there, I am a complete noob. I basically play World of Warcraft, League and the odd game of APEX. This will be my first ever build, I am sure this will run the games I wish to play just fine. Just wondering, if you could choose 1-2 things to upgrade with my max budget probably being around the $1,200 mark, what would you recommend? Thank you for helping newbies like me.

Hello. First, thanks for putting this together! I'm looking to build a gaming computer for my son; he's about to turn 11, mostly plays roblox, but wants to play subnautica, and will probably eventually get into games with more requirements.Also, would eventually probably like to run VR (Oculus or something similar). I've already got an HDD and power supply, so want to spend the leftover money where it would be most beneficial. Will prob go with a more name brand SSD & RAM. Is an i5 worth the performance gain if I can afford it? What i5 would you recommend for this budget build? I made some guesses/tweaks at a build here: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/complete_n00b/saved/NTrKBm, thoughts? Thanks!

What's a good monitor that you would recommend? I'm interested in this build but wouldn't know how to pick out a monitor for it?

Could this run Fallout 4 decently? And could it handle its Creation Kit?

Hey! Just looking to know if this computer would work for me. I’m streaming my Xbox through the computer to twitch or mixer! Would this work for me? Thanks!

Great Idea

I was wondering if this pc would be a step up compared to an xbox one frame rate wise. Also with this build will I be able to connect to wifi or would I need an adapter? I am new to pc building and would like to try it while on a budget around this price range. Thanks

Thank you for this build. I just purchased most of what you have here. I'm using ram from my other computer (Ballistix Sport LT 8GB Single DDR4 2666), and different 1T (SSD) & 4T HD's. I don't know too much about this stuff, only how to put it together, which is why I'm just buying what your recommending here. I have a couple questions for you, even though it's probably too late since I already ordered everything like 5 min ago... :)

• 1) I was wondering how you felt about the on-board graphics on the mother board? I use this for home / family use, so not planning on using it for much games, per say. Should the on-board be sufficient?
• 1.1) Silly question about the onboard graphics. I have an old graphics card (ASUS EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD3/V2(LP) GeForce 210 Video Card). Would the on-bard graphics be better than this old card, or should I use this card?
• 2) Why do you recommend the (Patriot - 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2400 Memory) RAM here, when you are recommending faster RAM on your home / office build (Patriot - Viper 4 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-3000 Memory)? Not critiquing. I'm sure there is a reason, just wondering why.

Again, thank you fur putting this build together and making my life much easier.

Could this possibly run Rainbow Six Siege? I am pretty sure it can but I'd rather be safe than sorry.

Hello guys, I'm new to pc building and I just want to know, will I be able to mod games like GTA:5, edit and upload videos with this build?

Total noob here, but I am looking to build my first PC, going to do primarily gaming, but would also need it for work/school. Can I get some direction possibly?

Is this computer completed?

I honestly think that the 240 Gb SSD should be replaced with maybe a 120, as the SSD would be used mostly a boot drive as the HDD is used for major storage. I would also personally go for a Pentium G4560 or 4400, as the difference between you would be paying close to $130 for an i3, but the Pentium has relatively the same performance, even though it has a lesser core count, but it is much less money to spend. And honestly, the RX 570 is a great choice, but I feel like you should base it off of other games like Overwatch, or CS:GO, not just the games that are part of a fad. Otherwise, this is a pretty solid build.

Edit: you could get a cooler that's not stock for relatively cheap, as the Intel stock cooler is not super pleasing to the eye, and you wouldn't be overclocking anyways.

Hi there I’m a complete noob and have played on a console all my life and want to know a good list of parts with a budget of around $800

Why would you ever buy micro ATX? Mid-Towers aren't that much larger and you don't have to worry about parts not fitting in the case.

Is this build going to last 2 or 3 years with minor upgrades? I was going to do an intel i5 8600k as my gpu as i want to use this as a workstation too.

Hi! Thanks for taking the time to make this. This will be my first build and I have a couple of clarifying, noob questions. First, our modem is upstairs hooked up to my brother's xbox, so will this build be able to get on wifi, or will I need to add that? I would like to rip my CDs to the computer, so do I need an external optical drive? I plan on mostly using the PC for Minecraft modpacks, namely Sky Factory 3, and some older games like FFX. Thanks for the help!

Corsair CXM for entry level? I would rather take the FSP Hexa+.

I’m a noob at pc and I’m going to get one but I don’t know if a intel core i3 or a amd Ryzen 3

I'm new to building computers and I was wondering if this build comes with an OS or if I need to get one? I really want this build and it looks like the best fit for me because I grew up playing on laptops and wanted a better computer for a lower price.

Would this build be able to run RPG's like The Witcher, Mass Effect, and others on medium or high settings?

Are you sure that this all runs well with 450 W of power?

I put a bit more ram in there. I'm kinda noob in all off this but I think this is som good ram for value: G.Skill - NT Series 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Do you need a sound card with this build?

hey im new to pc build and i have no clue how to build one does anybody know and if yes could they help thx

I'm willing to spend more money on a bigger case and a better video card and CPU. What would you recommend?

Is this pc good for music production, light gaming, photoshop multitask? If not which one is good for around 500

I play games that are hardly taxing, even on my current laptop (Minecraft, Transistor, Shovel Knight, Stardew Valley), but I also do occasional art, design, and layout work in programs like Photoshop, GIMP, Scribus, and Inkscape (and maybe Krita after I have a new computer). I'd also like to explore Android app development, and my current laptop, with an AMD processor, has issues running Android device virtual machines.

Would this build be suitable for a jack-of-all-trades approach to gaming, art and design, and development/VMs? I'm not going deep into any of these hobbies, so I don't need anything particularly specialized.

Is there a reason why you are using enterprise hard drive?? Are you planning on RAID?

Would this work with a medium tower such as a NZXT S340 Elite?

I'm a first timer when it comes to PC building, and i'm worried if these items wouldn't fit inside a larger tower

Hi . I'm looking to build a PC that has more power & better graphics than the original PS4. So how does this build compare to PS4 ? Better or same ? I will be playing mostly Fighting games like Street Fighter V & Fighting EX Layer & also Conan Exiles .

Hello, new to the pc build scene here. Would this build be able to run Insurgency: Sandstorm and Rising Storm 2: Vietnam at medium?

Hi all! Just wondering, if I wanted to lower this computer to a budget of lets say, 850? How would I go bout doing it with whay part?

Is this good for Garry's Mod, Town of Salem, Left4Dead2 and Minecraft, or is it too good? im new to building PCs.

Hello, I am new to pc gaming and this would be my first build. I was wonder if anyone knew how good FPS this pc could run Rainbow Six Seige on medium to high settings? Also if I’m just using the pc for gaming would this pc or the AMD pc be better?

Any other cheaper options for the case? if so could someone please link them, cheers.

Another typo (Or filter error). It says the filter is for the best priced 2tb drive, yet the filter is showing 1tb drives in the build.

I'm tired of laptop gaming and planning on getting this build soon. I need advice on what changes to make to this build if I live in an area with far too much dust, regular power outages and occasional voltage fluctuations. These power outages and voltage fluctuations are the reason I didn't get a pc in the last 10 years after my motherboard fried again. Laptops tend to work reasonably fine without frying and the only problem they face is dust regularly clogging within. So anything I could do to the pc to make it dust resistant and maybe ensure its resistant to voltage fluctuations?

Can i change the motherboard to like an H310M-HDV MicroATX LGA 1151? Would it affect anything? Plz help, i am looking to get the pc in the next 2 weeks

can someone help me with a beginner build for gaming /streaming computer. my budget is $400? i already have the bit penix nova tg case.

if you were doing budget builds then an AMD CPU is so much better price for performance and the 2000 series CPU's have really good integrated graphics in case your dedicated GPU fails.

If I replaced the CPU with the Intel Core i5-8400 would I be doing any thing wrong or missing out on anything?

I’m so new to this I don’t even know what half of these stuff means but I’m looking to build a pc I was wondering if someone could make me a list with everything my budget is 500

I'm completely new to PC building and I'm trying to switch from console, I was wondering if anyone could tell me how easy this build will be to assemble? should I get a professional to do it or just watch some videos and wing it?

What Power Supply Should I Choose? I read one question about the power supply and i forgot who but someone said you could get better for a better price.Thanks!

Do i need a sound and wifi card for this setup?

It says it can run CS:GO smoothly and I am currently playing on a crappy laptop that only gets around 30 frames per second with low graphics for CS. I was wondering at what it would be around for FPS on this pc (Highest Graphics). Also with the stock cooler is it possible to overclock w/o problems.

I built a modification of this system with some parts salvaged from my last PC.

One thing to note here: this case only comes with one fan.

Fans are kinda cheap and I had some to salvage, but it's worth noting.

Hi, I really like your build, I plan to make a pc to game and stuff. As I am very new to pcs i came up with build after watching many youtube vids can i have your thoughts and suggestion thanks https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/list/xCryMZ

I literally know nothing about PC’s, can this run Escape From Tarkov with decent FPS and graphics?

Can/How well can this PC run Fortnite/Overwatch?

I’m planning on using this as a guide for my first pc I have a friend whose helping me but I’m wondering do I need a monitor with 144 hz to be worth it or is a 60 hz ok

DO u thin kit would run apex?

Does this build require the purchase of of wifi card to be able to connect to the internet? It may be a silly question as I don´t really know much about PC building. Thank you.

Can you stream with this PC? Awesome build btw

Looking to switch from ps4, how does this system run Rainbow Six Siege

What FPS would fornite run at with this kind of build? Would they ever drop below 60fps?

i am trying to help my moms ex put together a pc for his talk show that he streams on XPlit and i was wondering if this will be powerful enough for professional streaming and home office work/multitasking

what can this run like triple a games at medium to high settings?

Would I be able to stream @1080p60 with this build? I have good internet too so maybe?

does anyone know how fast this will run fortnite with all epic settings? (get your virgin jokes out now)

Let me know what you all think

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/SpiderPunk3000/saved/DqKp8d

It would be great to see the CPU for this build bumped to the i3-9100. Currently it's the same price as the i3-8100 AND it turbos to 4.2 GHz (better for gaming and single threaded performance). The i3-8100 does not turbo and is limited to 3.6 GHz.

Would this build be able to play total war games? or would the AMD version be better, I'm a noob about this never built a pc before, also how easy is it to set up when you build it and got all accessories you need? im worried about getting the setting up of the operating wrong and making sure it running smoothly when playing games.

Hello. I am a college student (also PC gaming noob) that has been saving up money to buy parts to make a gaming PC.

I have experience actually building PCs however, my issue is that I don't know exactly what parts to choose. I have been gaming with consoles my entire life (I have a PS4) and I am done with consoles after seeing just how much better PC truly is and I don't want to be held back anymore lol.

For someone like me, I really only care about high framerate and I want to make sure that I can upgrade the PC easily.

I am mainly looking forward to play upcoming games (like Crash Team Racing) at an amazing silky smooth framerate (since the console versions appear to run at 30).

Can I get a solid idea for a good build? Keep in mind my budget is around 500-700$. Also, an idea of the best type of monitor for someone like me would be amazing as well.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Very good build!

How many fps will it run on fortnite epic settings?

I did this build and it's a lot better than I expected it to be. Don't expect good 4k performance, but expect high performance at 1080p. The only things I did different is 16gb ram and switched out the 250gb SSD for 500GB. No regrets!

Hello everyone! Im new to this Building Pc Process and I'm looking to get a pc mainly for streaming! Whats a good pc that I can get for $500-$700 usd? Thank you in advance!

What settings could I run over watch on with this? Will it even run? Can it support streaming and gaming simultaneously?

I need a very fast USB transfer speed. For work I run windowd from an external SSD. So I need a fast usb connection for it to run smooth.

I saw this build has 3.0 ports. If needed can I later on replace those by 3.2 gen 2 ones? Does the motherboard allow this?

Hello! I have an important question. This would be my first PC and the build fits my budget, but I think I will want to stream and game on it eventually. I was thinking of upgrading the ram to the same brand and everything but 2x8 gb so it can handle the streaming and gaming. Would that work? Or would I need to get a stronger processor too? (Same question goes for video editing, but its not that important.) Looking forward for your help!

I’m 13 and don’t have much money but I’m trying to get a summer job at a snow cone shack do you think this pic would be good for me I make around 7.50 a hour... I just want a pc that can run fortnite on 720p low setting at a decent FPS

The 9100 is now out

https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/HGgszY I need some help in configuring this PC, It's actually a little overpriced for my budget. (600-800 dollars.) If anyone tech savvy enough to give me some suggestions please give me some. And probably the dimensions, because I'm afraid that the cooler, CPU, and CPU might not fit...

nice build

Could this handle video editing?
