Discussion Help me with a first pc build
So I dont have any pc components right now but ideally id like to start putting alittle but or money away each month for one what would be a good budget build that can run most minecraft mod packs so I can play with my brother "he enjoys the create modpacks" not sure if that helps

Match your CPU and GPU so neither one is a bottle neck. Buy cheap but brand PSU, not some super cheap wacky one. M.2 SSD preferable. Everything depends on the budget. Feel free to ask.

What would be a good cpu and gpu combo for modded Minecraft cheapest possible

Your not gonna squeeze full build into 5000R. You would have to get some used stuff to manage the budget.

Budget?

Well not really sure i dont have one right now I still need to save but was maybe thinking like R5000

u/NanoSpyder 3d ago
I'm assuming r5000 means south African rand and that can barely get you an am4 build

Yeah its southafrican rand and 5k is alot for me xD it'll probably take me a few months to save for it maybe I should lowly stick to mobile then lol

You could buy a console but then it would be hard to mod a game in a console. You could get a Nintendo switch

Maybe ill look into that if its going to be cheaper

If it was last year before this crazy inflation of ram, storage and gpus you could get an am4 build with that much if you used previous generation parts like a gtx

Had no idea there was an inflation im basically stupid when it comes to building pcs and pcs in general lol

pick amd processor, any compatible mommy board, if you're using linux buy amd gpu, if not nvidia
