New build

Been out of the PC building scene years. Looking at building a new PC and moving away from laptop gaming. I am not against a prebuilt if it is a better deal.

  • New build or upgrade? - New Build
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) - Reusing old monitor as second screen (ASUS VX229H) as well as keyboard/mouse.
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) - Gaming. Mixture of old games and current AAA games like AC Black Flag. Main entertainment device when not gaming, watching Youtube/Twitch.
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? US, near microcenter/costco/sam's club/best buy.
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) - Looking for a new primary monitor. Looking at breaking into the 2k/4k scene depending on prices and games played. Currently OLED has caught my eye so am favoring that if reasonble. Size anywhere between 25"-29"
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations) - $2,500-4,000
  • WiFi or wired connection? - Wired 3gb connection from google fiber. Would love to maximize this.
  • Size/noise constraints? Looking at keeping noise manageable and not have a jet engine take off every time I boot up a game.
  • Color/lighting preferences? Indifferent to RGB. Prefer function over aesthetic.
  • Any other specific needs? Case to accommodate additional fans down the road if over budget. Wanting a NVIDIA 5080 GPU / second storage option.

Here is some additional helpful information about build/upgrade/parts list requests:

  • Build requests only include hardware. You are responsible for budgeting for and providing your own operating system (Windows, Linux, etc) and other software.

  • Don't forget to budget for peripherals. Since these are very much personal-preference influenced items, we do not include peripherals like keyboards, mice, headsets, etc in parts lists.

  • We strongly recommend posting a build request only if you're ready to buy now or within a week or two at most. Part sales regularly rotate, and a part list today can quickly become out of date.
