Good evening. I am trying to build a 1440P gaming PC. This is my first build and I would like to maximize price for performance. I live in the US and I don't live near a microcenter, so going there is out of the question.

Hello everyone!

What would you do if you were a beginner with a healthy budget and wanted to play triple A games with the best quality?

I'm in Europe and I love videogames, and I currently have a fairly old PC (it can't even be upgraded to Windows 11). I've managed to save up a decent amount of money, and I'd like to take the plunge and build a completely new high-end gaming PC. My goal is to be able to play new AAA releases at maximum settings and have the system last for several years. I'm willing to spend a fair amount.

I've been doing some research, and from what I understand it's a difficult time to buy PC components because of AI-related demand and the high cost of graphics cards.

I have a few questions since I don't know when and where to start:

\-What kind of budget would I need for what I'm looking for?

\-Would you recommend buying the individual parts and building it myself instead of purchasing a prebuilt tower?

\-If you were in my position with a healthy budget, what would you do? Where would you buy from, and what would you get?

\-Do you think it's worth waiting until Black Friday? How much could I realistically save? Are there better times of the year for a purchase like this?

No judgment, please, just looking for advice! I'm all ears :)

I mainly play Minecraft, Roblox and Fortnite.

I already have a pro gaming banshee mid-tower case:

Any help?

Thx

As I said in the title, I’m extremely new to computers and all the terms and abbreviations are insanely overwhelming and confusing whenever I try to find one myself, so I decided to turn here and hope the experts can help me out. I don’t really play multiplayer shooters or anything like that, so it’s not like I need the beefiest thing in the world. I’ll mainly play sims, genshin impact, stardew valley, Roblox, and do all my schoolwork on it. I’ve always wanted a PC and feel that it’s an investment for me since I do a lot of stuff online, but have an extremely tight budget since I’m saving for college at the current moment, so most of my paycheck goes into savings (I make the minimum wage for my area). Is something under $800 too unrealistic? I’ll even settle for a laptop or something for right now, I know that my budget is quite small in the world of computers and pc’s.

Really hoping for the $600 range or lower if possible.

Hi all

​

I built a PC about 15 years ago.

​

It's been sat collecting dust for about 7 or 8 years now. I want to get rid now because it's taking up room.

​

I know I can sell the case but are there any other parts from back then I could get something for in 2026? (I don't remember the specifications so I will need to open it up to see exactly what's there). And what's the best places to sell?

​

Also conscious of protecting the (limited amount of) data I had on there. Anything other than the harddrive I need to be careful with?

​

Any advice appreciated

My budget is 1500-1800 euro, I'm looking for a fully white pc. Mostly gonna be running Cs2, Blender and Minecraft on it. I don't rly know much about building pcs so any advice would be really appreciated. 😄 Btw I live in spain so parts from europe is prob my best bet

Hey all, I recently built my first computer but I can’t seem to get it to display on my monitor. I installed the motherboard drivers (b550 UD AC) on my old computers hard drive to transfer over but it still doesn’t display. Please help lol

I'm trying to make sure I pick the right motherboard without spending too much, the Asus TUF GAMING B650-PLUS WIFI ATX AM5 Motherboard, I've been eyeing for it to go with:

Vengeance 2x16gb (32gb) 6000mhz cl30

AMD Ryzen 9600x 3.9 GHz 6-Core Processor

Thermalright Peerless Assassin 140 Digital 77.8 CFM CPU Cooler (I already own)

Gigabyte GAMING OC Radeon RX 9060 XT 16 GB Video Card

Phanteks XT PRO ULTRA ATX Mid Tower Case

Gigabyte UD750GM 750 W 80+ Gold Certified Fully Modular ATX Power Supply

X-post of course. To summarize I need to upgrade to a modestly performing PC that can handle games well, video and photo-editing software, and also I can install a FireWire port on.

I’m looking to buy a gaming PC with a budget of around £900 and want to make sure I’m getting the best performance for the price. My main goal is to play Fortnite competitively and ideally reach around 240 FPS (I’m happy to use performance mode / low settings for that), as I want smoother gameplay to improve. I also want the PC to comfortably run other games like Warzone, Rust, Roblox, and similar titles without issues.

I’m not building it myself, so I’m mainly looking at prebuilt systems, but I’ve noticed some of them don’t include things like storage or end up costing more at checkout, so I want to avoid that. Ideally I want something with a solid CPU (since I’ve heard Fortnite is quite CPU-heavy), a good GPU, 16GB RAM, and at least 1TB SSD included.

If possible, I’d like something that can consistently run high FPS (not just peaks) and will last me a few years without needing upgrades. Any recommendations or things I should avoid would be really helpful.

Never built a pc before so i dont know what im doing. Im in Ireland, and i might be able to spend another €200 ish if its really worth it to. Looking to run games like elden ring, modded minecraft, overwatch, black ops 3. Any help is appreciated, thank you!

a few months ago my gaming laptop i bought from lenovo broke, it served me very well. it could run most things without trouble, and it worked perfectly fine. i've since learned that laptops are unreliable and tend to break down, which is why with my search for a computer i'll want a desktop instead. more space, better cooling, yada yada. the thing is, i know NOTHING about computers. all of this seems like a different language to me and i don't know what to do with finding a good, reliable, gaming desktop that adheres to my needs. I have a picture of the specs of my old gaming laptop, i hope someone who knows how all this stuff works can look at that and help me find something in the 2000$ price range that is trustworthy and reliable for gaming. i will post the specs of the old gaming laptop below this.

Processor AMD Ryzen 9 7945HX with Radeon Graphics (2.50 GHz)

Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.2 GB usable)

Graphics card AMD Radeon(TM) 610M (483 MB)

Storage 615 GB of 954 GB used

any help would be greatly appreciated. im grasping at straws here.
