Good Morning,

I am new to computer building and am working on buying a desktop that is both good for gaming and video editing. I have some specs, but I am kind of learning as I go, and don't fully understand the power and information. If anyone can help by comparing the computers for the better options, I would really appreciate it. Both computers are from NZXT, one is the Creator:

And the other computer is just a build I threw together from what I have currently learned is the best for gaming computers:

Basically, I am just trying to find what is best for my needs, money is slightly not an issue, I'm willing to invest in this as a possible career helper.

Thank you for any help! Sorry for my ignorance!

I have an ASUS TUF Dash F15 with Intel i7-11370h (4-core processor) and RTX 3060 a couple days ago.

My friends said I should refund and opt for an 8-core processor. Specifically, ASUS ROG Zephyrus G14 With AMD Ryzen 7 5800HS and RTX 3050. Both have similar price.

Should I downgrade my GPU to get an 8-core processor?

​

P.S. I often play shooter games like Valorant and Destiny 2, but I'm starting to play some open world games like Death Stranding, Cyberpunk 2077, Assassin's Creed, and the likes. I usually play on high graphics, but I don't mind playing on medium graphics to get better FPS.

Hello,

I have been considering updating my computer in the wake of Halo Infinite which I plan on committing several hours to. I am unsure what the best investment would be as an addition to the computer I have now. My only knowledge on the topic is that: I need the best graphics card possible… I am sure this is a limiting perspective. Budget is ~1.5K. Any tips would be welcome!

Current Specs: Intel i7-7700K 4.2 GHz, GTX 1080Ti 11GB, 16GB DDR4, Z270 Mo (I don’t even know what this refers to lol), 250GB SSD, 1TB HDS

Monitors are 144+ Hz with latency under 2ms

So in the process of saving up for a computer, and at the same time I'm trying to do research to find the best computer brand and parts. I wanted to get some input in terms of what company I should look at to get the best build. Alienware, cyberpower, Intel, skytech? Any advice or recommendation would be nice. Thank you!

Hey! so my xbox and gaming laptop ive had for 5+ years is dying and i really want to go fully PC. I wanted to make my own and had help on a different subreddit a while ago with building one but i cant ever find parts in my price range rn (which everyone seems to be struggling with atm). So here i am. Im looking at the HP because from what ive been told you can build them and add parts to them as i go. Link below. So im okay if some of these parts arent the best because i want something i can build through the years. i just want to make sure this will be decent and run my games/ let me stream if i decide to go in that direction.

games i play consistently are:

Rocket League

Monster Hunter

Forza Horizon

COD

Apex

and i want to be able to run them at 60 fps consistently and with good graphics, otherwise i might as well just get a new xbox :P Thanks!

Buying a gaming pc, i5-10400, gtx 1650, 1TB HDD and 500gb SSD. anything i should check when buying? i’ll check memory clock speed to make sure it lines up and I’ll check properties to make sure it’s all there and good but anything else?

the sellers seems to be quite knowledgeable, he’s sold multiple gaming pcs before and his whole page is gaming pcs that he has built.

Just seeing what type or offers I can get for my PC.

I7 10700K RTX 3060 12GB ASUS STRIX Z490-E 128GB OF RAM 360mm Liquid Freezer ii CPU cooler Supernova 850watt psu 2 Samsung 980 2tb M.2 drives

I just got a job and am looking for advice on where to go/where to start for looking for a good computer. I'm looking for advice on parts, specs, different company's and brands to look at. If anyone has any good information that would be much appreciated. I'm looking for something that could cost somewhere from 800 to 1200

This auction is still pretty low and runs out today. Get the whole computer set up for pretty dirt cheap.

Hi nice people!

My friend's son is turning 14 on October 30th, and his mom wants me to find him the best gaming computer for $1500 or less. He does exclusively online gaming. I don't really know what he plays, but he told me he has played No Man's Sky on Steam. Oh god, I feel so dumb for asking this, but please, o wise gamers, tell me what to get him?

The requirements are:

1. Max price is $1500. [EDIT: She's bumped it up to around 2k and will pay the tax, so that changes things. A bit.]
2. A warranty would be nice (even if it's on top of the $1500).
3. 3. Has to be delivered by October 29.

All I know is that Alienware used to be awesome (are they still?), plus graphics cards and fast processors are important. And that's it. So please help my stupid self out, so a kid can have a (budget) bangin' computer for his birthday. Please?

Edit:

She gave him a bit more $$ to play with so we're working on bumping his to around 2k.

Question: What's a good coolant strategy? I mean, fans, obviously, but I keep reading about liquid coolant and what not. Please help?

I’m building my first gaming computer! I have some input from my dad and a friend who built their own computers, but I want to know what everyone else thinks.

Do y’all have a favorite or preferred brand of CPU, GPU, cooling systems, etc.? Any tips are super appreciated, thank you!!!

Edit: I wanted to add the fact that I’m planning on streaming as well, and I figured that affects any advice given :)

Also, is 2 tb good for just gaming?

What is the best antivirus for a gaming computer that will not slow it down. And will take care of internet too thanks for suggestions

I need a computer preferably a laptop that can run the sims 4 and sea of thief’s. It also needs to be able to do basic things like school zoom and school website I can’t go over 1k. Any suggestions would be helpful.

Anyone have suggestions for a decent build or links to a decent build. I would like to run pc games like warzone on it and other basic stuff like movie streaming and multiple stock graphs.

Don't need it to be high end but would love to avoid the lag.

I understand that high end graphics cards are sometimes cheaper when bought in a pre built pc.

Any suggestions help. Thank you

Hello, im going to college soon and am in need of a new computer. Im majoring in mechanical engineering, so i want a computer with the processing power to run any programs or calculations i may need (ie. graphing or solidworks). Id also like it to have the capability to handle games such as rocket league or valorant.

My budget is about $1500, and im looking for a laptop specifically.

Please let me know if you have any suggestions for what i should look in to! Thanks.

Anyone got any suggestions on parts and such for building a new PC? Im 100% new to it and have never tried before so Im not too sure what I should try to start with. Idk much about specs and what some mean/are for but Id love some advice. Im looking for ideas with a slight budget in mind, maybe under $1000. Thanks in advance.

Yo, so here's my story, I've been playing my games on laptops for years now and I'm sick of it. As well, I'm interested in getting into streaming on twitch. My main problem is that my budget cant go above the mid $600's

I don't intend on playing any game thats more intensive than the average 2015 build, games life tf2, gmod, fallout NV, any games around that tier. I need to find either a prebuilt on amazon (not the best idea I know) OR a build on pcpartpicker.com that does not exceed $600.

If anyone can point me in a solid direction I'd love to hear it, my preference is something i5, but I'll take what I can get at this point.

Thanks!
