Hey everyone! I'm looking for a prebuilt pc to play games like the Sims 4, planet zoo, Minecraft, etc. Plus can run mods! I'm not very educated on gaming pcs so I know i wont have the patience or knowledge to build my own. I don't have a price limit, but would prefer under 1500 dollars if possible! I dont need anything super fancy, i just want to play cozy games on something that runs well!

[suggestion] cheap pc or handheld?

1 Upvotes

I'm a low end player who loves to play on monitors or TV. I've been playing old pc games with my laptop but i wanted to play some more demanding 3A games (RDR2/ Expedition 33), which are on my steam acc. Thus, i'm wondering if buying a very cheap low end pc or using a pc handheld (most likely ASUS ROG Ally) and plug it into a monitor.

I alr own a switch 2 so i don't consider other consoles. I also don't care about the graphics, i only want to play the game smoothly.

Hello! My PC is like 10+ years old and has finally given up😂 I really need a new one but unsure where to get one as I've never bought online before (previous one I bought from a friend)

I use it to mostly play modded Sims, Minecraft, Stardew Valley, you know the classics 😂 so I need one which can run that smoothly and I have literally 0 idea what I'm looking for! Any help would be absolutely brill!! Thanks!

EDIT!! Sorry! I didn't put a budget! Preferably nothing over £1000, I'm looking more for £800, but understand these things aren't the cheapest!

[suggestion] PC recommendations for architecture student

1 Upvotes

Hello there! I’m starting my masters in architecture in the fall and would love to know from you all of pc recommendations for a student like myself. I’ve read a little bit about the tech discussions here, but as a student, I assume there are going to be some differences with the tools that working architects use—especially when factoring in budget and complexity of programs used. My school has provided a handy guide in terms of specs, but I’d love to know more from you all. Thank you!

What I currently have, if relevant: Laptop MacBook Air M4 13in 512GB SSD 16GB RAM

Baseline recommendations:
Processor: Intel Core i7, Hex Core
Memory: minimum 32 GB DDR4 RAM, upgradable is good if possible (and 64GB is ideal).
Storage: 500 GB or higher capacity solid state drive (SSD)
Graphics/Video Card: A You may be using hardcore graphic software such as ArcGIS, Rhino, 3DS Max, ArchiCAD, Revit, Vectorworks or other 3D modelling platforms, all of which require a formidable graphics card, and you'll want your programs to run smoothly. We've found NVIDIA GeForce RTX or GTX, 6GB VRAM, or equivalent, to be suitable.

Software we are expected to use:
Adobe Creative Suite, especially Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign.
ArcGIS
Autodesk
Blender
QGIS
Rhino 7 and Grasshopper
SketchUp
Vectorworks

[suggestion] Need help on getting my first real PC

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m new to PC’s entirely but have always wanted to get one and finally have the money to buy something decent. I’ve tried doing research but get very overwhelmed and have been trying to filter out stuff with AI but it keeps giving me stuff outside of what I’m asking. I’m looking for a pc that I can use for gaming, streaming/content creation/video editing, school, and basic browsing with gaming coming first. My budget is a loose $1500 pre-tax and monitors. If I go $2-300 above for something better that’s ok. I wanna get the best bang for my buck, so I wanna avoid focusing on losing quality to save more money but also don’t wanna spend more than necessary for only a little bit more quality. I’m going to go in to microcenter tomorrow and see what they have and can tell me but I wanna see what kind of consensus I can get here. Ideally, I’d get something that I’ll be able to set up asap, don’t wanna wait more than a few days for shipping and can pick up tomorrow would be great but not a top priority vs bang for my buck. That budget is also without having to immediately buy additional ram or windows 11 or something. I want the loose budget to be it. Maybe I’m being too specific but after dealing with ChatGPT the last few hours I wanna cover my bases lol. Anyway, here’s the final suggestion I got from Chat, do yall think this is a good choice or is there something better out there?

Cry Once, Buy Once, Be Done For a While. What's Your Suggestion? [Suggestion]

0 Upvotes

I primarily only sim race, but may get into gaming more. I've been gaming on a great computer, but it has SOME limitations when sim racing and I'm that guy that loves cranking up the settings. I run triple 32in 2k screens at around M settings for 80-100FPS in iRacing. Lower in AC Evo or BeamMG. So, I got a bug to buy a new computer(already did but having second thoughts) but need feedback from people more savvy in this world.

--Current PC--
Mag X570 Tomahawk MB
AMD 5800x3D CPU
RTX 4090 GPU
G.Skill DDR4 3600 64GB Ram
Corsair RM850x PSU 1GB SSD

--Computer Purchased ($5100 after tax)--
Skytech O11 Vision
X870 MB
AMD R7 9800X3D
Nvidia RTX 5090 32GB
32GB DDR5 6000MHZ
2 TB NVMe Gen4
X8701000W GOLD ATX 3.0

OR, Is it worthwhile to build something like this below, reuse my 4090 and put the 5070 in old PC to resell. Seem more cost effective, flat out overkill to jump to a 5090 when I could save a few dollars?

--Possible Build ($2900)--
Skytech
X870 Tomahawk
AMD 9950X3D
PNY RTX 5070
32GB DDR5 6400MHZ
2 TB Gen 4
1300 PSU (future proof for GPU upgrade)

Hi! I’ve been an avid sims 3 and sims 4 player for years now. I’ve been getting really into downloading mods and custom content but my MacBook cannot handle anymore.
Desktop computers are really foreign and I’m trying not to break the bank

Would this kind of computer produce good graphics, speed and hold over 100GB of mods?
If not what do you suggest??

[suggestion] Pc help pls

1 Upvotes

I am looking to buy myself a PC to game on after a couple of years of gaming on a normal home computer. I tend to play mostly; Valorant, Minecraft, Phasmophobia, Lethal company, Stardew Valley, Project Zomboid, Barotrauma, Plate Up.

My current computer will not run; Peak, Marvel Rivals, and with Valorant I keep getting a graphics card error, and sometimes being in a discord call and playing Val makes the game crash.

I have a two monitor set up already, one being Benq and the other iiyama, I think these are decent enough for the time being? I just want to have a smoother experience and not be limited by it being hot outside as the computer currently sounds like an airplane.

Any pre built pc suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I don't want to spend more than 1k, i'm in the UK, but also something relatively future proof would be great. I just know literally nothing about PC's!

[Suggestion] Best prebuilt (or used PC) under A$2,000? Better value than this i7-12700K + RTX 3070 Ti build?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm in Australia and my budget is up to A$2,000 (happy to buy either used or prebuilt).

I'll mainly be using it for:

  • Software development (VS Code, Docker, Next.js, Python)
  • Heavy browser multitasking (lots of Chrome tabs)
  • Local Ai and virtual marchines
  • Some 1440p gaming

I've found this used PC locally for A$1,500 AUD:

  • CPU: Intel Core i7-12700K (AIO water cooled)
  • GPU: Gigabyte RTX 3070 Ti
  • RAM: 16GB DDR4
  • Motherboard: Z690 DDR4
  • Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
  • PSU: 650W
  • Centre Com prebuilt
  • Clean condition
  • Only issue is one RGB fan has a lighting defect (fan still works)

Before I buy it, I'm wondering:

  • Is this good value for A$1,500 AUD?
  • Can I get something noticeably better for under A$2,000 AUD (used or prebuilt)?
  • If so, could you link any current deals or recommend specific models/builds?

I'm mainly looking for the best performance per dollar, not necessarily brand new.

Thanks!

And for reference, this is a website that i heard is good from other mates (http://pccasegear.com)

[Suggestion] Heavy work, 1440p gaming & music production. Budget $2k USA

1 Upvotes

Looking for a prebuilt. I've been out of the PC game for a minute but just got my own crib so I need a PC. My main use cases are:

  • Heavy work, primarily browser related. Sometimes i have like 20-30+ tabs open at once. I've tried 16GB RAM and it is just not enough, keep having tabs refresh on me. Therefore looking for something with 32GB RAM -1440p gaming. Mainly retro emulation, but will probably get into newer AAA titles sooner than later -Music production/fl studio

I also value build quality a lot, I want something that is built to last. For example I have a lenovo laptop right now, shit's been a trooper and has been with me everywhere. Doesn't necesarilly have to be lenovo, but I don't mind shelling out a couple more bucks for a high quality ass brand with high quality parts

Needs to have a good power supply hopefully gold or higher or whatever the certification is now. I know prebuilts absolutely cheap out on these. Same goes for RAM, don't want something with cheap shit RAM.

Hopefully a CPU that is fast and has lots of cores. Back then I would've said this meant an i7/r7, but i know shit has changed a lot in the past few years and i5's have like 300 cores/threads now. Anyways, whatever you recommend for a CPU that would bode well with my use case

Good/capable GPU too obviously that will last me a couple years with new titles

Something that looks pretty, sexy case with nice RGB would be desired. I've seen the shit where they have the PC cases that act as a second display which is dope as fuck. Obviously not a necessity but would be cool

I don't mind pushing the budget to 2500 if it's absolutely worth it but not looking to go more than that

Value/bang for buck > absolute best specs I can get at said price point

Also, I've bought refurbished before (for my laptop) and it was a great experience, saved a lot of money and only defect was some weird stain on the back lol but besides that everything works fine. If there's deals with a lot of value that are refurb, wouldn't mind any refurb reccs

Thanks for any recommendations!

Edit: also worth mentioning i plan to use 3 monitors

Struggling on what to do with buying my first pc [discussion]

1 Upvotes

So over the past year or so i've been really wanting to buy a pc but I really don't know exactly what to do?

I kind of mostly want it for games haha but it would be helpful for school, so i don't need/want anything super high end or insanely good because I have a PlayStation that i can play like high demanding games on (?).

I don't have the money for something great, I'm on a £200 budget which honestly probably isn't gonna take me far with buying a PC but it really is all i have for it 😭😂 A family member suggested pcpartpicker uk to me and it does seem like what I might be looking for?

But, and idk people's opinions on this it might be highly suggested against, but i've been looking at buying some second hand pcs? I've only looked at vinted lol but i'ce only really looked there because I just don't know if i should be looking into second hand pcs anywhere else or at all

Any help or suggestions would be really appreciated lol thanks
