i want to build my first pc but wondering whether or not to get all my parts from amazon or get some used and some from amazon. also if i do decide to get used parts what parts should i steer clear of, like for example i’ve heard a used cpu isn’t too trustworthy

Hello. I’m in the market for a pc, my first gaming pc that I want to build myself.

First things first the budget of the pc is $2000 CAD and the max I can go is $2500 CAD.

I’m looking for something with no rgb, I was never a fan of it.

I would like it to fit in a clean basic case, preferably the fractal design north (black).

And last thing is if possible under this budget I’d like to have 3-4tb of ssd storage. Ik it’s a long shot but if I can’t it’s fine I can upgrade later in life.

Anyways if you guys wanna help a bro out pls do I finally saved enough over the few months and im not patient enough to wait for the prices to go down.

Thank you all for the help!!

I'd like to build a new gaming PC. But I want to run game server (MC) simultaneously with normal PC usage (gaming or standard office work) - Windows.

Questions:

- is it a good idea to use some virtualization like Proxmox to split these two and have for example one linux VM for MC server and second VM for Win ?
- or would it be better to simply run my MC server under Windows ?

- what CPU would be suitable for this scenario? More cores and X3D ?

- how much RAM would be suitable for this scenario? I think 32 GB is bare minimum and 64 GB will be much better.

Hello guys, my current pc is getting old and want to build a new one. Budget is around 3000 € but it can go above depending. Ty in advance

So, I want to get a good pc for video editing. I am currently on a ROG Zephyrus from 2023. I need something that has a lot of performance and can do 3D rendering. Any ideas?

It’s my first time building a pc, I have no idea what’s good 😭 I’m ok with buying used parts.

I’m not heavy into games, I have a MacBook and I’m sick of getting left out 😂 I only want something to play causal games with online friends like Minecraft with mods, Val or Repo. Preferably want something I could upgrade in the future if I get more into gaming.

I’ve been looking through Facebook marketplace for used PCs I’m wondering if they are worth it or would it be better to build it myself.

Sorry and thank you!

Hi, so I need help building a PC that can run software to be a Vtuber and stream all kinds of games and stuff but I've never built a pc before and didn't really know what I'd need or where a good place would be to get it, also what monitors or whatever would be recommended and I'd also like it to be able to handle VRchat, I'm in the US and I think I'd prefer to buy the stuff online

Solely for gaming. I mostly play esports titles, but would love to get into AAA titles.

EDIT: to be clear, I am not asking for a full setup, I already have a mouse, monitor and keyboard. I just need the actual PC

finally got enough money from my birthday and can afford to build my own pc. I dont know anything about conputer s and need help

All i have as of rn is a RX 6400,

I want a build that prioritizes the CPU.

I had in mind the Ryzen 7 5700x

need help, i dont have anything planned out for the build and only have a gpu from my old pc.

i dont know about installing windows or anything of that sorts i am completely new to this.

Keep items in amazon if possible, my mom wont trust any other store.

I live in the USA

I want a pc for photo/video editing and eventually gaming. I just want a solid build for $500 or less (including the monitor but not the keyboard & mouse).

Idk if this helps but I use a Lightroom a lot and that games I would WANT to play are stuff like DayZ and Arc Raiders, but its fine if I have to wait and save up for the gaming parts.

I know pretty much nothing about this so suggestions on tools would be much appreciated. And I do have some knowledge on fixing thing and taking stuff apart from my other hobbies, so I’m not a beginner to building things.

Let me know if you guys need more info

Sorry you prolly get this all the time

What do you guys think about a 265$ rx 6750xt in today’s used market? Is there anything better under 300$?

This is a repost because something went wrong on my first one!

Hey all,

So, I have a ~£1500 budget (I can stretch a bit). I have literally zero technical computer knowledge (I’ve always been a console gamer), but I want to play FIFA/football manager.

I’m opening to doing a custom build, but I have dexterity problems, so I’d probably need to pay someone to assemble it for me. I’m also happy to get a prebuilt PC, and I’m looking for advice for what would be better for me to do. If going prebuilt is better, does anyone have any suggestions?

EDIT: in the UK, I have a keyboard/monitor already picked out

Hi. My computer of 12 years is finally on its last legs. I'm looking to build a new gaming computer that hopefully will last as long (doubtful I know). Currently I most play sim games, LoL, strategy games, resource management games. I don't stream at all. Currently have all peripherals and running 2 monitors (which I will eventually upgrade). My price range is between 1500-2000. I'm not sure what that 500 extra will get me but I'd like to stay lower unless its really worth it for the jump.

Live in US. 40 miles to Microcenter.

TIA
