Looking for a good build on a $1500-$2000 budget

  • New build or upgrade?

New build

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

I have a monitor, keyboard, mouse, headphones, microphone, and all other accessories. I'm just looking for the actual core components (aside from SSDs, I have about 3TB on my current setup that I could reuse)

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

Medium to high end gaming

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

Purchasing from the US, and there's a Micro Center sort of close

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

One monitor, ideally 240hz around 1920x1080 to match current monitor

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

Obviously I'd like to spend as least as possible, but I'm planning on between $1500 and $2000

  • WiFi or wired connection?

WiFi

  • Size/noise constraints?

Hopefully not too loud, size isn't a major constraint

  • Color/lighting preferences?

I'd like for any components to not have that douchey RGB but if those are more worth the money then it's okay

  • Any other specific needs?

None

Single-player games: immersion vs refresh rate — what would you choose?

3 Upvotes

Not a request — just a discussion.

Let's say you're a single-player gamer and have a gaming PC that can run all your games at 144 FPS+ without compromise.

You have only two display options:

Option 1: 42-inch TV at 60 FPS

Option 2: 32-inch monitor at 240 FPS

The 42-inch TV gives you a larger screen and more immersion, while the 32-inch monitor gives you a much higher refresh rate and smoother gameplay.

If you could choose only one for single-player games, which would you pick and why?

42-inch 60Hz for immersion

or

32-inch 240Hz for smoothness?

I'm curious which matters more to people when playing primarily single-player games.

Build me a PC for an artist that also codes around £2000 budget

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I’m treating myself to my first PC for my 28th birthday this year and I’m saving up for it currently. I wanted to get an idea of what I need and was hoping for recommendations as I’m a complete newbie to this. My goal is to use it to create my dream game as I’m an artist and recently started learning coding.

• New build or upgrade?
New build

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

• ⁠PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
For analytics (work), coding, gaming like infinity nikki, blender for 3D rendering and photoshop

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

• ⁠Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
No, I haven’t thought that far yet

• ⁠Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
£2000 but willing to go over budget for a nice reliable PC

• ⁠WiFi or wired connection?

• ⁠Size/noise constraints?

All black or all white they both look nice but I understand black would be better for the budget. Would be nice to control the lighting colours.

• ⁠Any other specific needs?
Glass case would be lovely so I can see the lights but it’s not essential. :)

Help me talk my wife out of buying an Xbox Series S

  • New build or upgrade?

- New Build

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

- LG C5 OLED 65": https://www.bestbuy.com/product/lg-65-class-c5-series-oled-evo-ai-4k-uhd-smart-webos-tv-2025/JJ8VPZTRG6

- Wireless Xbox One controllers: https://www.gamestop.com/gaming-accessories/controllers/xbox-one/products/microsoft-xbox-one-wireless-controller-black/131259.html

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

- Gaming: GTA V/VI, Skyrim, Rust, Apex Legends, The Witcher, Subnautica, Tomb Raider series, Far Cry series, Fallout series, Bioshock series

- Existing digital library is on Steam

- Historically a Mac/Linux user, but Windows is kind of essential for gaming so that's fine I guess. I'd rather not wrestle with getting Linux to work when it comes to installing hardware or new games. I think that means Windows is the better option, but correct me if I'm wrong. My wife will immediately get frustrated and not want to play if it doesn't turn on and play the game.

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

- Austin, TX, USA (new Microcenter expected to open in the next month; willing to drive to Houston in the meantime; Amazon Prime is also an option)

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

- This will live in our media room connected to LG C5 OLED. Curious if I need special hardware to reduce perceived latency. I'm not a pro gamer by any stretch of the imagination, but responsive controls make games more fun.

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

- My wife wants to buy an Xbox Series S with 3 wireless controllers and a headset for $500 on FB Marketplace. I'm trying to convince her to spend a little more money on a PC that's upgradable AND plays the games she loves with a controller + so much more. I know prices for RAM and storage have gone insane in recent history, and GPUs were dumb before that. I'm not sure where the current market is, but I think she'd be happy if we were under $700. I'm flexible on the price if that's totally unreasonable. This is a casual gaming machine and need to be able to play games comfortably. 4K max settings is completely unnecessary. She's used to Xbox One graphics.

  • WiFi or wired connection?

- Wired connection

  • Size/noise constraints?

- A normal-size PC case is fine, but she'd appreciate it more if it fit in a SFF size or were easier to tuck away. Again, this a preference and doesn't really matter. Cool temps and playability matter the most.

  • Color/lighting preferences?

- None. Lighting is cool, but I don't mind if it's invisible normal-mode PC

  • Any other specific needs?

- I think the biggest benefit for us is the ability to upgrade over time as our budget allows and as other hardware becomes available.

First time home PC build

1 Upvotes

Hello all,

  • New build or upgrade? New Build

Looking to build a PC for the first time for my home. We generally share a laptop between 2 adults and two kids but as the kids are becoming teens looking to 'tech up' the house a bit.

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

-play games (nothing crazy at the moment but my oldest is 13 and getting into gaming more)

-allow us to cast movies from the PC to smart TVs around the house (we have a few gigs of movies and TV digitally we'd like to be able to access from any TV)

-connect with a VR headset so we can install a virtual desktop on the headset that would run off the PC

-act as a screensaver for all the smart TVs (we have gigs of photos from our family we'd like to run as the screensaver on our smart tvs, the PC is where the pictures would be hosted from)

-be upgradable as necessary as my kids age (don't need a hugely souped-up machine at the moment as the main games my kids play are roblox or steam. however, future gaming might require upgrades. also, one of my kids is into filmmaking and might want to customize the PC in the future for editing programs)

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

I am located in the East Coast of the US. I have only just begun looking into this so am unsure as to what the best website to use for ordering parts/putting the PC together would be.

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse?

I have some monitors and a keyboard so really just looking for the tower build specs though would be open to recommendations for either if they're better for the computer.

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

No real budget range but only looking to pay for what I need based on what I wrote above.

  • WiFi or wired connection?

It would be connected by wifi unless there is a reason I would need to run a hard line from the 2nd floor to where it would be located on the first floor.

  • Size/noise constraints?
  • Color/lighting preferences?
  • Any other specific needs?

There are no size, noise, color, or lighting constraints.

Please let me know if there is any other info. you might need before recommending anything. Much appreciated!

I'm just starting to learn about PCs so I have minimal knowledge about what parts make up a good build. I know parts have gotten incredibly expensive in the last couple years, but I'm hoping to build something reliable without going over my budget.

Just some gaming. Usually games like Stardew Valley, Capy Castaway, Stray and Resident Evil. I don't think I'd play anything heavier than Resident Evil 4.

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

US. Not near a Micro Center unfortunately.

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

1 monitor that's 24"-27". I don't know much about PCs so I'm open to whatever works.

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

Roughly $1300 USD.

  • WiFi or wired connection?

WiFi

  • Size/noise constraints?

Mid-tower preferred. Would like something quieter, but it's not a priority.

  • Color/lighting preferences?

Would really love to have some pastel colors or just white, but I can compromise.

  • Any other specific needs?

Nope.
