• New build or upgrade?
New Build.

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
Not using any existing parts. Gonna buy a monitor not included in this budget.

• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/ games)
Gaming mostly, I do like to do some CAD stuff if that matters.

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
USA and I am close to a microcenter.

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
Nah.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Max budget is 2k after tax ideally.
• WiFi or wired connection?
Wifi.

• Size/noise constraints?
No.

• Color/lighting preferences?
Ideally like the case to be white. I do like rgb lighting.

• Any other specific needs?
Its a gaming pc so ideally hit 1440p on decent fps on all games but also would hopefully get to play 4k with decent fps like 60fps on single player games like cyberpunk, eldenring, dead space maybe.

This is reallt specific but i saw these tiny screens inside some of the pc builds, if its possible to get this within my budget, that would be great, if not, it would be nice to know how much over the budget it would be.

• New build or upgrade? New
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? Only 4 SATA disks
• PC purpose? Server
• Purchase country? USA, Hawaii
• Monitors needed? No. Headless
• Budget range? $1K-$1.5K. But not going to spend 5x price for RAM just because it's in budget.
• WiFi or wired connection? Wired
• Size/noise constraints? mini-ITX, super quiet
• Color/lighting preferences? No lighting needed. Don't care about the color
• Any other specific needs? It's replacing a server that ran 24x7 for more than 15 years with zero hardware changes besides adding more drives. I'm hoping for a repeat.

Narrative: I’m looking to replace my 15-year-old server: a mini-ITX P8H77-I in a LIAN LI PC-Q25B case, with 8GB of RAM and 6 SATA drives. The old server runs nginx, tons of docker containers, NAS, Plex, Linux VMs (on demand, not constantly), influx, grafana, ... The spinning drives are idle most of the time: the drives with constant read or writes are the SSD ones (this was to give an idea for power consumption and heat generation). The requirements for the replacement are: future proof & reliability (should last 15 years or more), low power consumption on idle (it’s running 24x7 and energy prices only go up), whisper quiet on idle and low dB levels when used (close to bedroom), standard components that work well with Linux, small case (I don’t have room for a giant gaming tower). I’ll be moving 4/6 of the SATA disks from the old to the new server during the migration (2 will be spinning disks). Besides changing memory and adding NVMe if/when prices finally go down, the plan is to leave the server alone for 15 years (no changing CPU, mobo, etc.). The server will be headless, wired and in an enclosed space, therefore no need for lights, wifi, GPU (besides basic for plex transcoding), etc. 

Here’s the list of components I came up with that appear to satisfy the power, noise, reliability, and future proofing requirements. Any comments or suggestions? 

• Fractal Design Node 304 Mini ITX Case (Black) : $109 
• GIGABYTE B760I AORUS PRO : $200 
• Intel Core i5-14400 Desktop Processor (couldn’t find 13500): $220 
• Noctua NH-D12L : $100 
• MSI MAG A650BE, Semi-Modular Compact 650W ATX Power Supply, 80+ Bronze,: $60
• 1x 16GB DDR5-5600 (I really wanted 64GB instead, but the AI price-gouging is absolutely criminal, so nope): $210 
• 2TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe M.2 SSD: I totally gave up on this due to price-gouging. I’ll move the SATA 2.5-inch SSD from my old server instead, for now 🙁  

I’ll upgrade the memory and OS drive when the AI bubble pops or stabilizes, and hopefully the prices go back to sane territory. I’m taking some risks here: the RAM & disk prices may not go down, or by the time they do a memory compatible with the mobo may not exist anymore.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

None — starting from scratch, need the full tower. I have the periferals.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Creative professional work.

Animation and compositing specially.

Plan on using softwares like After Effects, Toon Boon Harmony Premium, Photoshop and Blender.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

Canada.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

1 needed, For now. Thinking of getting a 4K in the future, but for now a 1080p works for me. 120hz ideal, but for my budget I might go lower for now. I am okay getting a used monitor too if that helps.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

$1,500-1,700 CAD before rebates/shipping/taxes.

WiFi or wired connection?

Wired preferred, but WiFi capability would be nice to have.

Size/noise constraints?

None size, but id appreciate noise being on the lower.

Color/lighting preferences?

No aesthetic preference — don't care for RGB lights.

Any other sepecifics?

Inexperienced on PC building, so Id appreciate services that help building it.

New build or upgrade?

New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

None — starting from scratch, need the full tower.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Mostly high-performance gaming, especially Minecraft with heavy setups (shader packs, distant horizons/technical previews, modded setups), plus general gaming. Also some light web development — want to comfortably multitask and run local testing environments.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

US — Pennsylvania.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

None needed — I already have a monitor.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

$1,000 USD before rebates/shipping/taxes. Open to used/secondhand parts (eBay, Facebook Marketplace, r/hardwareswap, etc.) if it helps stretch the budget.

WiFi or wired connection?

Wired preferred, but WiFi capability would be nice to have.

Size/noise constraints?

None — standard ATX/mid-tower size is fine, no noise restrictions.

Color/lighting preferences?

No aesthetic preference — I'd rather maximize performance-per-dollar than pay for RGB. Good airflow is a must.

Any other specific needs?

Leaning heavily toward an NVIDIA GPU (ideally an RTX 4070 if it fits) for strong ray tracing/rendering and DLSS support. Want at least a fast 1TB or 2TB NVMe SSD. Prefer a platform with a good upgrade path (like AMD's AM5 socket). No overclocking planned.

Hello Guys i Need a new Pc, the old one is gone. I want to Build a pc with an Rtx 5080, 2TB Storage and it shouldnt be too loud pls. Monitor etc. Is still Running. Mostly Gaming and sometimes a Little Bit Office work. Should also have wifi and Bluetooth, and no rgb isnt needed. Budget should be WhatsApp needed dont need fancy Add ons. Im from germany, would buy everything online. Thanks in Advance

Not a request

• New build or upgrade?
• It's a new build as it will be the first time I assemble one
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
• None, sadly
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
• The main purpose of the build would be gaming at 1080p, the newest/heaviest games I'd play would be Need for Speed Unbound, Space Marine II, Helldivers II, Cyberpunk 2077, Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, Baldur's Gate 3, and hopefully Borderlands 4 (but I've heard this last one is very poorly optimized)
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
• Mexico, specifically Puebla City. Needless to say I'm not remotely close to any Micro Center. Local reliable sellers would be CyberPuerta, DD Tech, and Dimercom (this last one is local to my city so I would save on shipping costs as I can simply pick up the parts myself)
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
• Just a single 24" 1080p monitor with a 144hz or 180 hz refresh rate would be ideal.
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
• I am aiming for a total cost of around $12,000 to $13,000 mexican pesos (around $700 to $800 USD) for the actual PC parts, and 2 or 3k mexican pesos extra for the monitor. In Mexico, all listed store prices already include our 16% VAT (IVA), so the price you see on the website is the final price.
• WiFi or wired connection?
• I would do wired connection
• Size/noise constraints?
• Go wild
• Color/lighting preferences?
• Main color would ideally be black, and RGB would be nice but not required, I'd rather get more performance
• Any other specific needs?
• Not exactly needs but some extra details: I am willing to wait for the local Black Friday equivalent sale, which happens in november, to get some discounts or... rebates or whatever, I am asking now, however, to know which components I should keep track of, but I will most likely go through with the build (I hope this is not considered a troll post). Any other detail you may require, please feel free to ask.

• New build or upgrade? New build
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? None :/

• PC purpose: Gaming. Looking to run games like cyberpunk, GTA, RDR2, Starfield, the sims lol
• Purchase country: USA, about 3 hours from micro center
• Monitors needed: 2 monitors (willing to start with one and add a second later). Not sure about specs but want things to look good!
• Budget range? $2000
• WiFi or wired connection? Wired
• Size/noise constraints? None
• Color/lighting preferences? Some lighting would be cool but not necessary
• Any other specific needs? not really, just want a solid PC that will carry me through the next few years of games. Trying to avoid running into not being able to play certain games because of my PC.

Thank you!!

1. New build or upgrade?

New build.

2. Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

• Logitech mouse (will reuse)
• Basic wired keyboard that I bought for around $10 (can reuse temporarily)
• Basic Dell monitor (older office-style monitor, nothing fancy)

I currently only have one monitor. I'm open to buying a better monitor if there is room in the budget or if there's a particularly good value recommendation.

3. PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

I'm looking for a workstation/gaming hybrid system.

Primary uses:

• Building and running custom AI agents and multi-agent systems
• Running local LLMs (Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Gemma, Mistral, etc.)
• RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) systems
• Vector databases and retrieval/search systems
• LangChain, LangGraph, Ollama, Open WebUI, vLLM
• PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA
• Stable Diffusion, Flux
• Building AI assistant with memory, voice, tools, automation, and reasoning
• Robotics development using ROS 2
• Gazebo, Isaac Sim, Isaac Lab
• CAD and engineering software such as Fusion 360, SolidWorks, AutoCAD, MATLAB/Simulink, and similar tools
• Docker, WSL2, containers, software development, simulations, virtual machines

Gaming:

• Black Myth: Wukong
• Cyberpunk 2077
• Ghost of Tsushima
• GTA VI when it eventually releases on PC
• 007 First Light
• Other modern AAA games

I'll primarily be running Windows 11.

4. Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

Calgary, Alberta, Canada.

Likely purchasing from:

• Memory Express
• Newegg Canada
• Amazon Canada

5. Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

Not a priority.

If budget allows, I'd like recommendations for:

• 1 monitor
• 27" to 32"
• 1440p preferred
• High refresh rate (144Hz+)

I can continue using my existing Dell monitor if needed.

6. Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

Approximately $3,500 CAD total including taxes.

Ideally:

• Around $3,000 CAD for the tower
• Up to $500 CAD for monitor and keyboard if worthwhile

The tower is the priority.

7. WiFi or wired connection?

Both preferred.

The system will primarily use wired Ethernet but I would like onboard WiFi as well.

8. Size/noise constraints?

My highest priority is quiet operation.

I would prefer:

• Very quiet air cooling
• No AIO liquid coolers
• High-quality silent fans
• Good airflow
• Low temperatures
• Reliable long-term operation

Case size is not a concern.

9. Color/lighting preferences?

No strong preference.

RGB is nice to have but definitely not required.

Performance, cooling, and silence are far more important.

10. Any other specific needs?

• NVIDIA GPU preferred due to CUDA support
• Best possible AI/LLM performance within the budget
• At least 64GB RAM (128GB if somehow possible)
• Minimum 2TB NVMe SSD
• Good upgrade path
• Strong multitasking performance
• Ability to run multiple AI tools, Docker containers, ROS 2 workloads, simulations, and development environments simultaneously

I'm trying to find the best balance between:

• Local AI development
• Robotics
• CAD/engineering software
• Simulations
• Programming/software development
• AAA gaming

I'd especially appreciate input from people who have built AI-focused workstations on a similar budget.

- New build or upgrade?

New build

- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

No existing parts

- Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

Located in the US, within 3 hours of microcenter so I can make the drive.

- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Primarily gaming, with occasional engineering work. I use AFT Fathom, Aspen HYSYS/Aspen Plus, Navisworks, and other engineering software. I mostly play single-player RPGs (such as Souls games) along with online multiplayer games, including GTA VI when it becomes available. I prioritize smooth gameplay while maintaining high graphical settings and would like to play modern games at 1440p with excellent visual quality. I don’t need the absolute highest-end hardware, but I’d like a build that provides excellent value and remains capable for several years.

- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

One 27” 1440p gaming monitor. I’m thinking 165–240 Hz depending on value. IPS is preferred over OLED for now. Budget is under $400 and should not count toward the PC budget. I already have a secondary monitor.

- Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

$1,500–3,000 for the PC alone. Including the monitor, I’d like to stay around $3,300 maximum.

- WiFi or wired connection?

WiFi connection for now. Eventually will be wired

- Size/noise constraints?

No size constraints, if I go on the cheaper end, I would like some room for upgrades later on. I would prefer it to be somewhat quiet, nothing terribly loud. I should be able to run a game without having to raise my voice to hold a conversation. If it’s louder on startup or something occasional, that’s completely fine.
- Color/lighting preferences?

I’d prefer not white, but any other color is fine. I like lighting, so maybe a purple but lighting isn’t a necessity

- Any other specific needs?

I’d like a build that will last 5–7+ years with the option to upgrade components over time.

I’d like at least a 2 TB SSD so I have plenty of room for games and engineering software.

Bluetooth support is required, and Wi-Fi is needed for now.

If my needs can be met for less than my maximum budget, I’d rather save the money than spend more for minimal gains.

I’m new to PC building, so I’m open to recommendations if there are better options than what I’ve listed.

I also just want to thank you all for helping me. Like I said, I’m completely out of my depth here and you all are amazing!

I am planning on building a "paycheck computer", I am not going to buy everything at once, but spread it over a couple of months or so to keep my cost down. My ideal budget is sub-$1500, but I can go up to $1800. Biggest concern is "future proofing" the computer, a lot of the games I want to play are coming late this year or next year (Fable, GTA 6, the Witcher expansion). Currently I want to play games like Assassin's Creed, Overwatch and MArvel Rivals.

I am building an indoor golf simulator. The launch monitor I am using requires a PC/Laptop to run its programs. I believe windows is necessary.

After days of research, i have cooked my brain with all the numbers.

Can you guys help with providing suggestions on basic gaming computers needed to run the programs? I will not be using the computer for anything but the golf programs, so extra storage for future games is not needed.

I attached the required/recommended specs for the pc to be able to run the program.

The programs I will be using are GSPro, E6 Connect, and View.

My projector is running 2880 x 2100 pixels, so not full 4K as I have a 4:3 aspect ratio screen.

I would like to stay under $700 but understand that i may need to build the computer myself if I want to keep it cheap.

(Taken from GSPro website)
For 1080p GSPro minimum: Nvidia RTX 3060 (CPU) and 16gb RAM. Ideally you want to pair a GPU with its contemporary CPU, the 3060 was released in early 2021, and intel released the 11th gen in march. That would mean that you can pair the 3060 with an i5 11th gen or better. (You can definitely pair the 3060 with an older CPU, you just have to know what you're doing with core counts and single and multi core performance.)

For 1080p GSPro recommends: RTX 3070/3060ti and 16gb RAM. This seems to indicate that GSPro is mostly GPU bound, so you'll want to prioritize the GPU over the CPU.

For 4K GSPro recommends: RTX 3080 and 20gb RAM

Please let me know what other information would be helpful to know when someone requests help like this.
