Budget gaming pc for competitive titles.

  • New build or upgrade? New build
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) Existing setup currently is on ps5, with mouse and keyboard.
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Main purpose is gaming, but also for studying.
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors) Middle east, not near a microcenter. Use pcpartpicker, and amazon most of the time.
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) I already know what monitors I need.
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations) Currently I have 500 USD, but if it's not enough I'm willing to add more.
  • WiFi or wired connection? Both, but most of the time ethernet.
  • Size/noise constraints? No noise or size constraints.
  • Color/lighting preferences? Preferably an all white clean build, but due to the budget any build is okay.
  • Any other specific needs? It's for competitive titles like fortnite, valorant, and other games. Mostly cpu dependent, no gpu heavy games, I would like to get 240 fps in fortnite performance mode, the more the better of course. However, I am unsure what is the minimum required amount for a decent build. I put 500 USD as the base, but I would like to get suggestions for a decent build that can last a few years.

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games): Mostly gaming. Fortnite, GTA, CS2, Rainbow Six siege, etc. so mostly FPS games.
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center?: Germany. Sadly no Micro Center here.
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate): None needed.
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations): 1600€.
  • WiFi or wired connection?: Wired would be preferred.
  • Size/noise constraints?: None. Can be as loud as it needs to be.
  • Color/lighting preferences?: None.

planning to build my first computer

After saving up some money I finally decided to build my own computer since my current one has become too old

  • New build or upgrade? New build
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) No
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Mostly gaming: FPS games (R6, Valorant, Overwatch, COD), modded minecraft, a lot of single player/open worlds games and also sim racing (in the near future I also plan to get a proper racing sim set-up). Exlcuding FPS games I would like to play most of the games at max graphics. Movies and studying.
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? Italy
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) 2 monitors, a main monitor for gaming, honestly IDK about resolution or refresh rate, because I don't really know what a good monitor could be. The 2 monitor I'll use it when I study, so nothing crazy here. And when I will also buy the racing rig I'll get a triple monitor setup.
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations). 3500€ for the build, excluding monitors and peripherals.
  • WiFi or wired connection? both
  • Size/noise constraints? none
  • Color/lighting preferences? Black and I would like to it be as aesthetic as possible
  • Any other specific needs? I'm not sure about the peripherals but for the keyboard I was thinking: Steelseries Apex pro gen 3 - wooting 80HE - Razer huntsman V3 pro. In teory all this 3 keyboards have the rapid trigger. For the mouse: Razer viper v4 pro - logitech pro x2 superstrike. For headphones: steelseries artics nova pro. If possible I would also like some adivce on peripherals as well.

I would like to mencion that I have never built a PC and I have no experience and no idea, but I want to have the satisfaction of knowing that I built my own compiuter. After deciding and ordering all the components I'll watch a lot of YT tutorials.
Thanks you in advance if you decide to help me out.

Please help me build a PC

Hello, my gaming laptop is overheating so I decided it's time to build a pc, but I don't know what I'm doing so I am here to ask for help.

  • New build or upgrade?

New Build

  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

I want to keep my current monitor: ASUS TUF Gaming 24” (23.6 inch viewable) Curved Monitor (VG24VQER) – FHD, 180Hz, 1ms ...: Link: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CXS73LRP?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Primarily competitive gaming with games like: Apex, Valorant, Halo Infinite, and other graphic intensive games like Baldur's Gate 3, (I want to be able to play new releases without my PC overheating, like my current laptop does).

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

USA, Michigan. Yes, there is a Micro Center I can go to.

  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

Although I said I would like to keep my current monitor, I do want a second opinion on my current monitor, and perhaps 1-2 other monitors to consider. Thank you.

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

$1,800 - $2,500 A big range I know, I just haven't looked into buying PC parts in over 5 years and don't know how much prices have changed.

  • WiFi or wired connection?

Primarily WiFi with the option for ethernet.

  • Size/noise constraints?

No size or noise constraints, the primary objective being performance/speed/etc.

  • Color/lighting preferences?

Nothing bombastic, just a simple neutral color with a sleek, minimalist look would be cool.

  • Any other specific needs?

I would like at least 2TB+ storage and 32GB RAM. How much more would it be for 64GB of RAM? Does 64GB RAM fit my budget?

A few words...

Hello everyone,

I made a few previous posts, read through a lot of the replies, did more research, compared suggestions, & tried to compile everything into one cleaner post so people can hopefully point me in the right direction.
I’ve finally saved enough money to buy my dream gaming PC, & I really want to make the smartest decision possible before spending this kind of money.
I’m not amazing with upgrading / swapping parts later, so I’d rather buy something strong now that lasts several years. I also assume good WiFi & decent onboard audio quality matter, since I listen to a lot of music.

What I’ve found so far (from Reddit + research)...

CPU

Most common recommendation:

  • AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D

Seems like everyone agrees this is one of the best gaming CPUs available, especially for MMOs.

CPU Cooler

Suggestions I received:

  • ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III Pro 360 A-RGB
  • Thermalright Aqua Elite V3

Motherboards

Most suggested:

  • Gigabyte B850 AORUS ELITE WIFI7 ICE
  • ASUS ROG STRIX X870-A Gaming WiFi
  • MSI MPG X870E CARBON WIFI

RAM

I’ve seen all of these suggested:

  • 32GB DDR5-6000 CL30
  • 32GB DDR5-6400 CL32
  • 64GB DDR5
  • Even 128GB DDR5

This is one area where advice seems all over the place.

Storage

Suggestions:

  • WD Black SN850X 2TB
  • Samsung 9100 Pro 2TB
  • Samsung 990 Pro 4TB
  • Some people suggested dual-drive setups

GPU

Most common suggestions:

  • RTX 5070 Ti
  • RTX 5080

Power Supply

Suggested:

  • MSI MAG A850GL
  • Corsair RM1000x Shift
  • 1000W+ options

My Questions

  1. If you had my budget, what exact build would you make today?
  2. Is the 9800X3D still the clear best choice for my use case?
  3. RTX 5070 Ti vs 5080 for dual OLED gaming long-term?
  4. Is 32GB enough, or should I go 64GB since I keep PCs for years?
  5. Best storage setup for someone with a large game library?
  6. Any bad picks above I should avoid?
  7. Any changes you’d make specifically because I play MMOs?

I really appreciate everyone who helped on the previous posts. I don’t have many tech people around me in real life, so Reddit has honestly been my best source of guidance here.

Thank you again for helping me spend my hard-earned money responsibly... or irresponsibly, depending on the GPU you recommend.

Gaming pc for someone who barely knows anything about pcs

New build or upgrade? NEW BUILD

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse?

Sceptre 32 inch QHD IPS Monitor HDR400 2560x1440

DisplayPort up to 144Hz 1ms 120% sRGB Height Adjustable, Build-in Speakers Gunmetal Black (E325B-QPN168)

^ If this monitor will not work with a better pc I’m fine with replacing it

• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming

Prehistoric kingdom, RDR2, JWE, The sims, FO4, etc.

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? USA

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) Unsure

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations) ~$1.5-2k max 2.5k (I’d really like it to be under 1.5k but willing to pay more for long lasting)

• WiFi or wired connection? WIRED

• Size/noise constraints? Flexible, don’t want anything too big

• Color/lighting preferences? Flexible

• Any other specific needs?

I’ve been reading up on building pcs for a few months now, I honestly still feel a bit lost with the whole process but I’m trying to learn more. I’m looking to build my own pc for the first time, I use my pc mainly for gaming. The issue with my current pc is that it doesn’t have the specs to run games well especially when it comes to graphics. It’s also an old pc that was handed down to me. Im looking for something that can handle games with high graphics requirements and can run them smoothly with minimal worry of crashing. I play games like RDR2, prehistoric kingdom, fallout 4, JWE and others. I do use mods on a few of my games. My biggest issue with my current pc is I can’t run games like RDR2 or PK without having the graphics set to “low” or else the games just lag & crash. I don’t want to have to constantly worry about turning all the graphics down on every single game.

I may possibly wait till the price of RAM drops a bit but I want to have a plan set in place. Thank you.

Winodws 10 to 11- Hardware upgrade suggestions for AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8-core processor system

My 9-year-old PC is running out of Windows 10 updates. As per pc Health checkup, TMP 2.0 doesn't support my current processor, AMD Ryzen 7 1700 8-core, which doesn't support Windows 11. I have 32 GB RAM & NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 6GB. Back when I was a architectural student, I assembled this PC. Now I am looking to upgrade this for professional and gaming use. I need suggestions for hardware & graphics upgrade. Is there a possibility to swap and upgrade the processor without replacing the whole PC?

Would love your thoughts on 6k+ AUD Work & Gaming PC build

Hi, it's my first time posting here, and apologies in advanced if I'm breaking any rules.

I'm looking to get a new custom PC built for WFH & gaming, and I'm looking for advice from the tech gods.

My work bases around 2D & 3D rendering & sim, and requires high performing CPU, Lots of RAM, and well performing GPU.

My current PC was built back in 2020, and it hasn't been performing as I need it to be for my work lately.

I'm looking to transfer my Storages (only) from this PC to the new PC, as all the other parts won't be compatible / competent.

I did my due diligence and tried to put together a parts list of what I'm looking for with my limited knowledge, but I'd really appreciate your input.

The things I need for certain : CPU (R9 9950x3d), GPU(rtx5080) & RAM(98gb+). Would love for any feedback on suggestions on other parts, and/or possible compatibility issues.

Thank you so much in advance.

1000$ to 1200$ Up to date GPU within Budget, Upgrading for Ark Survival Ascended

Hello! I am looking for the title exactly, if you don't know, ASA is a graphical nightmare, requiring a premium graphics card to have decent graphics at all. I am looking for as premium an upgrade I can get in my budget so I can run the game on 1080p 60fps or as close to it as I can get. the game is insanely texture heavy, morso than a lot of AAA games released today. it is especially intensive it seems on my vram. the 16 GB sticks seem fine, capping at about 80%

  • New build or upgrade? Upgrade
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Ti / CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 5700X 8-Core Processor / Ram: 8024 MB - 16GB DDR4 SDRAM A DATA 3000 2OZ / Motherboard: B450 Tomahawk Max (MS-7C02) / PSU: Be Quiet 750W Gold / SSD: M.2 Samsung SSD 970 EVO 500GB and 1TB
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? US, yes
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) no
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations) 1000 is really where I stop but I can go to 1200 absolute max if there is a really good deal close to that range
  • WiFi or wired connection? Both but primarily wired
  • Size/noise constraints? nope
  • Color/lighting preferences? nope
  • Any other specific needs? you all are the experts here, I am fully willing to get whatever needed but I am fairly sure my gpu needs an upgrade, but i'm open to get whatever. the game recommends a 4070 for entry level to run high settings and a 40 series or above seems required as my 3060Ti cannot run the game really at all unless I use a file changing textures. I have seen that a 4080 super has everything i need but also seems out of my budget, i'd love if I could find something in my budget that can slot into my motherboard and also withing the power limit of my PSU, thanks. i'd also appreciate little details like why and how if possible, I am no good at this but I do like trying to learn, thanks. I'd kinda prefer to stay with nvidia but as long as it can run this graphics nightmare of a game, and can slot into my setup, I do not care. thanks so much

New Build - Need advice for a full PC + monitor setup around €1300–€2000 total (LoL at 240+ FPS, but also a lot of work/browsing)

New build or upgrade?
New build. It would be my first time building a computer, and it seems cheaper this way ?

Existing parts/monitors to reuse?
My current PC is from around 2016, when the GTX 1070 was released haha, so it is getting old now. I may keep nothing if a full new setup makes more sense.

PC purpose?
Mainly gaming, especially League of Legends with ideally stable 240+ FPS. I would also like to play some more demanding games from time to time, but LoL is clearly the priority.
I will also use the monitor a lot for office work/studying, watching videos, working from home, and preparing for an exam/competitive test.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
France. No Micro Center.

Monitors needed?
Yes, 1 monitor. I want something good for both competitive gaming and long work sessions.

Budget range?
Around €1300 to €2000 total depending on interesting deals/opportunities. I would like to keep the setup for many years without problems.

WiFi or wired connection?
Mainly wired, but WiFi would be a plus.

Size/noise constraints?
No special size constraints. I would prefer something reasonably quiet.

Color/lighting preferences?
No strong preference. I do not really care about RGB.

Any other specific needs?
My main goal is LoL at stable 240+ FPS if possible, while still having a monitor that is comfortable for a lot of productivity use.

Hi everyone,

I’m French, so sorry if my English is not perfect.

I do not really know which websites or communities are the best to ask for this kind of advice, but this one looked big and friendly, so I thought I would ask here.

My current PC is getting old now, and I would like to buy something durable that I can keep for years. My main priority is League of Legends, but I also care a lot about monitor comfort because I will use it heavily for work and studying at home.

Thanks a lot.
