First PC build - Double checking parts
Hi! I'm verrrrrrrrry new to pc building. I made a post a while ago to find parts and someone made a parts list for me: https://pcpartpicker.com/list/XGxBPf (I can't actually find the Mb bundle they gave me for some reason anymore).
I looked at the list today and noticed that some things were unavailable and I wanted to double check that the parts are good for my needs and to see if I needed to change some things. I'll put my needs below. Any tips and info about really anything are much appreciated. :]
- New build or upgrade?
- Completely new build
- Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
- Starting fresh
- PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
- Gaming: I play a mixture of multi- and singleplayer games but I want the multiplayer games to run smoother/with less lag; REPO, Ultrakill, Lethal Company, Peak, Minecraft. I do often play REPO, Lethal, and Minecraft with a fair amount of mods (I have almost 90 mods for Minecraft, basically 40 for Lethal and REPO).
- Art: I do some art digitally and I'm planning to use Clip Studio Paint and an XP-Pen tablet.
- Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
- In the US; the closest Micro Center is about an hour away; my drive there would depend on my parents.
- Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
- I'm perfectly fine with 1 monitor but I think I would want 2 later on. I'm not sure what to say as far as the resolution and refresh rate. I think I would like a bigger monitor rather than a smaller one.
- Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
- I'm not exactly sure what the price range would be for my needs. I think for me right now, I would have to do the max being $1000 I would prefer to keep it under tho.
- WiFi or wired connection?
- Wifi
- Size/noise constraints?
- I'm perfectly fine with whatever size is needed and I don't mind that much noise, I don't want it be really loud though
- Color/lighting preferences?
- I think having a green case would be nice and I do like RGB lights but I'd definitely prefer the functionality over aesthetics; I could totally do a basic black.
- Any other specific needs?
- I don't think there's anything else besides advice and tips. I appreciate your time and thank you for the help :]
