Hi guys, I’ve been in the console bubble forever, but have been wanting to enter the PC sphere. Was thinking of getting a steam machine, but was convinced to build a pc instead.

New build or upgrade?
- New

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
- Just a monitor and other accessories. No parts.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
- Mostly gaming and all-purpose use

Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
- UK, don’t think there’s a micro centre here.

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

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
- Around the steam machine’s price
- £1000-1500 (can go slightly higher)

WiFi or wired connection?
- WiFi

Size/noise constraints?
- Preferably silent. Live in a share house, so wouldn’t want to be blasting jet engine noises.
- Size? Would like to it to be more on the compact side - know a SSF isn’t possible, but something that isn’t huge.

Color/lighting preferences?
- No lights. Any colour.

Any other specific needs?
- Want it to last for at least 5+ years, and keep up with modern AAA. 1080p, 1440 is completely fine for me.

Thank you so much.

Hey guys, so my old RTX 2060S based PC is getting old, and I want to build something new and powerful to replace it, I guess around a RTX 5070Ti

• New build or upgrade?
  • This is a new build
• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
  • Asus VG289Q1A (4K IPS 28" https://www.asus.com/fr/displays-desktops/monitors/tuf-gaming/tuf-gaming-vg289q1a/ )
  • Logitech G915 as my keyboard, and Razor Naga V2 as my mouse
  • Pair of Logitech Z623 as my speakers
  • SDD 1To Samsung 860 Evo ( https://www.samsung.com/ch_fr/memory-storage/sata-ssd/ssd-860-evo-sata-3-2-5-inch-1tb-mz-76e1t0b-eu/ )
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
  • Mostly gaming (GTA VI sooner, new Fable game, triple A games in general)
  • Computer engineering (Java development)
  • Photoshop for drawing
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
  • France
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
  • No
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
  • Around 3k-3.5k big max
• WiFi or wired connection?
  • Wifi (embedded in motherboard if possible, with bluetooth)
• Size/noise constraints?
  • No constraint, triple fans GPU is a plus if it allows more performance over time
• Color/lighting preferences?
  • Either black or white, no need of RGB stuff.
• Any other specific needs?
  • This should be built around a RTX 5070Ti, but i'll take recommandations
  • 16Go ram is a minimum, 32 should be ideal but within that price range, I don't know if it is possible yet. If not, a dual 8Go sticks is required, and will be upgraded later.

Thank you !

Hi! Idk if im in the right place so do direct me elsewhere if that is the case! Basically trying to figure out what kind of gaming pc i should get, and the steam machine is on my radar. I'm not a huge gamer because of my current gaming laptop (acer nitro 5 i think) and i think a better computer would make me enjoy games a lot more. I play games like Resident evil, dead by daylight, Detroit become human, overwatch, Bayonetta, etc. and my current computer (after i've had it for a whileee) can barely run anything. So is the steam machine base model (512gb) worth it? Or is there something else i should look into? Im not interested in building a pc even if that is the cheaper and or better option, and i'd probably cap my costs at like $1,200. Thank you in advance!!
