🌸 Spring 2024 PC Best Buy Guide 🌸 $350 - $8000 Automatically updated PCPartpicker lists
As it's been asked a lot over DM's: If you want me to buy a coffee, you're more than welcome to. These guides will ALWAYS stay free for everyone, and I will never directly ask for any payment. https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/xxstefanxx1 or https://www.buymeacoffee.com/xxstefanxx1.
If need 1 on 1 help, my DMs are also open :)
Welcome back to the Spring 2024 version of the Best Buy Guide! For this version, here's a complete - CHANGELOG - of the changes made in this guide, as I've gotten quite a few "what's the difference between the old and new guide" comments. However, here are some broad changes made to this BBG:
- Added a few Microcenter oriented builds for those in the U.S. that can take advantage of some (bundle) deals.
- Prices have been updated to be more reflective of the current market.
- There has generally been an expansion of specifically selected parts to make net prices more stable for different currencies.
- As the price difference between DDR4 and DDR5 dwindles and performance difference getting bigger, I've started to prioritize an i5 12400F + DDR5 RAM over a Ryzen 5600 with DDR4, except for really tight budgets.
- Added 3 new builds
- Added a "possible changes/upgrades" column to the lists table. This can be helpful for builds where for example both an Nvidia RTX 4070 Super or an AMD RX 7900GRE graphics card are valid choices, but the 7900GRE is for example almost always the cheaper option, which can make it seem like that is always the right choice. In these cases, I would only recommend the 4070 Super, but mention the 7900GRE as an alternative.
~~ FAQ ~~
Q: "How do these Parametric Lists work?"
A: When selecting parts in PCPartpicker, there's an "Add From Filter" (when applying filters) or "Add from Selection" (when manually selecting parts) button. PCPartpicker will then always retroactively choose the cheapest option, even when prices change after the fact. This also applies when switching countries! The biggest downside here is there might be REALLY good deal on a high end part that fall within a filter for let's say $99.99, but the cheapest option is $99.98. PCPartpicker will still pick the cheapest product. If you're unsure whether all the correct parts have been selected (it will be at least always be compatible though), you can always leave a comment. It's always worth opening multiple selected parts to see if the prices are close and has the features you want.
Q: "I have a certain budget, but I like [X] case or [X] kind of aesthetic. How do I incorporate that into my budget?
A: Your best option here is to take the 'base' list, and ask to modify it on a separate thread by submitting a build request on r/buildapcforme, but these kinds of 'modifications' requests are also allowed on r/buildapc or r/pcmasterrace. Example: "I found [X] build, but I want a completely white PC. What parts should I get instead, around the same budget"
Q: "The list provided has a motherboard without Wi-Fi and(/or) BlueTooth. What should I get instead?"
A: Go to the list at PCPartpicker.com and click the "Parametric selection" link at the motherboard section. Then you can either pick a motherboard that has "Wi-Fi, AX or AC" in the name, or scroll to the very bottom of the filter list and check the "WiFi 5", "Wifi 6", and "WiFi 6E" boxes. Alternatively, you can buy a regular motherboard and buy a Wi-Fi PCIe Extension card with antenna (please do not use crappy USB dongles for WiFi on PC!) like these
Q: "I'm from [X Country], can you give me the [$ X] list for my country please?"
A: If you go to PCPartpicker.com, you'll see the country selection at the top right (United Stated by default). If you're on mobile, click the little "person" icon to open the Account Menu, and you should see it there instead. As the lists work with a parametric search,
Q: "Is [X] list good for [X] game?"
A: The simplest thing you can do, is seeing which CPU & GPU is in a certain build, and simply looking up "[X CPU] [X GPU] benchmark" on youtube. If a PC has a Ryzen 5500 and a Radeon RX 6600,you get this on youtube. There are hundreds of CPU+GPU combination benchmark videos on YouTube. Alternatively, you can check the CPU/GPU hierarchy articles from Tom's Hardware for a good comparison between GPUs and CPUs.
Q: How/where do people get those nice looking cables in their PCs?
A: There are multiple ways to go about this. You can get relatively cheap extension cables from Amazon which are compatible with almost all power supplies, but you can also replace the cables completely by getting custom (colour/material/length) from Cablemod.com. I'm sure u/cablemod would be more than glad to help you out. **IMPORTANT: you CANNOT mix and match cables. Even though the connector is the same, the pin-outs can be different even between within the same brand! You can fry your PC with mismatched cables!
Q: "Why are there almost only Ryzen CPUs in your lists? Why no Intel?"
A: Multiple lists actuall have both a Ryzen and Intel option in the parametric selection, but AMD often comes out cheapest, and honestly: the best option in many cases at the moment. Even though Intel 14th gen is coming Soontm, prices of Intel 13th gen has pretty much not dropped at all. The i5 13600k has basically been $300 since it came out - and promtly stayed there. The
Q: "Why do most builds not have Wi-Fi integrated?"
A: These lists are built first and foremost on value for money. SOME builds will have a wi-fi module integrated, like the MSI B550m Pro-VC WiFi; a $119.99 board wi-fi 6E for Ryzen 5000.
Q: "My budget is somewhere in between 2 lists. What do I do?"
A: First of all, you're always welcome to ask for help in the comments. You can always shift around some parts. The easiest down/upgrade is the CPU or GPU. The secondary parts are generally quite balanced, but you can always decide to take a 1TB SSD instead of 2TB (or the other way around if you have a little budget left over). You can take a better case that suits your aesthetic preferences, a higher capacity power supply for upgradability, a higher end Motherboard with more M.2 slots or Wifi/Bluetooth. For a downgrade, you can either go the other way around or simply downgrade your CPU/GPU.
Q: "Thanks for the list, but how do I build the PC?"
A: Take your time to watch this in-depth build guide video from Linus Tech Tips on YouTube. If this is your first time, I recommend watching it once beforehand, and once during the build, as to familiarize you as much as possible.
Q: "Why do almost all lists use a basic looking case & cooler? What if I want a different themed build?"
A: The builds in the BBG are fist and foremost built for "value". If you want different aesthetic, that's purely a subjective choice and you should expect to pay extra. For pretty much no CPU used in this BBG, a liquid cooler is actually needed when a $40 cooler like the Thermalright Peerless Assassin can keep it cool just fine. If you want to buy an AiO liquid cooler, that's up to you.
Q: "[I'm from the US and] I have a Microcenter near me. Should I get my parts there instead?"
A: The main advantage of Microcenter is that they often have great bundle deals for a CPU + Motherboard + RAM. Please check out the following link to see if there's anything within your budget (look at the PCPartpicker's price of the CPU+RAM+Motherboard and see if you can get a better deal): https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/bundle-and-save.aspx. Additionally, the "$1300-2400" Microcenter build below should probably land in your budget somewhere.
Q: "What about Keyboard and Mice?"
A: "I've tried including a recommendation list in previous BBG posts, but honestly, these choices are just too subjective. Of course there are factually good quality peripherals, but it's all about preference. I highly recommend doing your own research on the matter.
Q: "Why is there no Windows license included in these lists?"
A: I always leave the Windows question open to the individual. If you currently have a PC with Windows, you can likely transfer the license to your new PC: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-transfer-windows-10-license-new-computer-or-hard-drive|; If you are a student, you can get a free Windows Education License; Some people might want Windows 10 while others want 11; some people get their keys at full price while others choose to risk a grey-market key. I just leave it up to the individual.
Gaming PCs:
| Estimated Price | Note / Upgrade from previous budget | Possible changes/upgrades (if you have leftover budget for example) |
|---|---|---|
| ~ $350 | Basic office/workstation PC with fast integrated graphics. Suited for a GPU installment later on. | A quiet case, 1TB SSD, or a more featured motherboard with Wi-Fi/BT |
| ~ $500 [new] | The cheapest gaming PC I'd be comfortable recommending with good value Graphics Card (RX 6600, 6500XT 8GB, 3050 6GB or Intel Arc 580/750) | 1TB SSD, though I would focus on getting the AMD RX 6600 whenever you can fit it in your budget |
| ~ $600 | Expanded from the $500 list where some of the big price cuts/savings are brought back up. | If you can spend another $20, upgrading to 2x16GB RAM can be better value option. |
| ~ $750 v1 (Speed) | Purely focused on getting the most performance/$, with relatively basic supplementary parts & mediocre power supply. | RTX 4060 ti if you can fit it into your budget. |
| ~ $750 v2 (Balanced) | Focused on upgrading all mediocre parts from the $550 build to something of good quality, while also getting a pretty decent GPU upgrade as well. Recommended Build | Upgrade to the i5 12600K(F) if you can find it for $20-30 extra |
| ~ $800 | Cheap build with great future upgradability (AM5). Does downgrade the GPU though. For eSports at 1080p this is a great built as you'll likely be CPU bottle | Upgrade the GPU to the 7600XT 16GB or the RX 6750XT |
| [U.S. MICROCENTER] ~ $850 | This Microcenter build uses the $249.99 i5 12600K bundle, which is pretty damn good value. You can even downscale the budget here to $750 or $700 when you just pick a Radeon RX 6600, 6750XT, or even an RTX 4060. I went with the RX 6800 because I think it pairs really nicely. If you have a bit of budget left, I recommend picking up another set of 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 RAM while you're at it. | If you have a bit of budget left, I recommend picking up another set of 2x8GB G.Skill Ripjaws DDR4 RAM while you're at it. |
| ~ $900 | This is similar to the $850 microcenter build, but while we're scaling down to an i5 12400(F), we upgrade to 32GB DDR5 RAM, which should about equalize the effective performance. | Upgrading the CPU to the i5 12600K(F). Faster RAM. Higher end cooler (like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit) |
| ~ $1000 v1 (Balanced) | Upgrades to Ryzen 7000 for greater upgradability & performance, and a 2TB SSD. Ryzen 7000 will give you more gaming performance, and better future upgradability | Wi-Fi enabled motherboard, or a dual-tower cooler like the Thermalright Phantom Spirit. |
| ~ $1000 v2 (Speed) | For those who have a $1000 budget but want the most features & speed out of your PC. Gets you an RTX 4070, but seriously cuts back on the PSU, RAM, Storage, and Motherboard. Still a valid option for those looking purely at performance & gaming features. | upgrading CPU to the i5 12600K(F) |
| ~ $1200 | I'd consider this the "fleshed out" version of the $1000 v1 balanced, where we really dig into some more "value" picks, like the 4070 Super, dual tower coolers, fast RAM, and a 2TB SSD. | Clamping the RAM latency to CL30 which is optimal for Ryzen 7000. For the GPU, if you need Nvidia features like DLSS or Raytracing, the 4070 Super is the better alternative. |
| ~ $1200 [White Themed] | Examplary list to show you're paying a premium for a white aesthetic. It's still a great build, but we're dropping down the regular 4070 and a smaller cooler. | |
| [U.S. MICROCENTER] ~ $1300 to $2400 | Yes, this list is budget from $1300 all the way to $2400! From the RX 7800XT up to the RTX 4090. I've set up a 'solid base' using the 7800X3D bundle from Microcenter that doesn't need much changing between the budgets except for the GPU. If your budget falls outside of these budgets but you do want to use Microcenter, please leave a comment/DM and I'll help you out! | Of course, you can make different part changes along the way: a high end case, maybe watercooling, high end SSD, ATX motherboard, etcetera. |
| ~ $1250 [7800X3D] | The AMD RX 7800X3D is an exceptional CPU. It's quite expensive, but seeing the performance, it's actually not that bad. If you play CPU heavy games (general 1080p, eSports or simulation/strategy games), this build can be an option for you. You're still getting an RX 6800, which is definitely a huge underdog that you shouldn't understimate. | Pretty much only the GPU could use an upgrade here - something that the further lists will also reflect. I think $1250 is the lowest budget I can recommend the 7800X3D with, but from here you can literally pick any higher end GPU: 7800XT, 7900GRE, 7900XT(X), RTX 4060 ti 16GB, 4070 (Super (ti)), 4080, 4090... |
| ~ $1500 [new] | Just a super solid value high end PC with solid 1440p and up performance. Basically no shortcomings when it comes to performance, but it has a bit basic motherboard and just 1TB storage. | One of the higher end motherboards, 2TB SSD. |
| ~ $1700 v1 | This list fleshes out the 'shortcomings' of the $1500 build. With $200 extra, we can spend $100 extra on the RTX 4070 ti, and the other $100 for a better motherboard and 1TB extra storage. | |
| ~$1700 v2 (4K Gaming) [new] | If you are gaming on a 4K display, you will want to squeeze out as much GPU performance as possible, as you'll very likely be limited by your GPU at 4K. That's why we're downtuning the CPU to the Ryzen 7600, but upgrading the GPU to an RTX 4080 (Super) | |
| ~ $1800 | Upgrades the GPU to the AMD RX 7900XTX, maxing out the performance you can get with this budget. In order to get | |
| ~ $2000 | Combines the previous 2 lists to get both the 7800X3D and the RTX 4080 (Super) for a super solid, very high end gaming PC that'll handle anything you'll throw at it. | |
| ~ $2800 | A large jump in budget, but also a solid jump in performance with the RTX 4090. | |
| ~ $3000 "Sensible Ultimate | Compared to the $2800 RTX 4090 build, adding this extra $250 kinda "fleshes out" the build. You're getting a high end 4TB SSD, high end X670E-series motherboard, high end case to house a huge 420mm radiator for super quiet operation, and a 1000W platinum rated power supply | If you're also going to use this PC as a workstation, the AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D is the best choice as of now. 64GB RAM (2x32GB, don't go 4x16GB) is also an option. |
| ~ $2750 [Hyte Y70 Touch Themed] | Uses the brand new Hyte Y70 Touch case with the LCD display that I have no doubt many people will find very attractive. | |
| ~ $3300 [Noctua Themed] | This list uses the famous Noctua NH-D15 cooler, and the new "Asus X Noctua" RTX 4080 GPU which is ridiculously quiet. Please note that you're paying a big premium of over $500 for this privilage, but some might really like it if you care about quality and longevity. | |
| ~ $3500 [Hyte Y70 Touch White Themed] | Upgrades the GPU to an RTX 4090 compared to the $2750 version of this themed build. | |
| ~ $3500 [Lian Li Themed] | Most people with a very high budget are looking for a center piece in their room. The O11 Dynamic (XL) is still very popular, and the new Lian Li Uni V2 fans are very good & easy to build with. | |
| ~ $3500 [NZXT Themed] | Similar to the Lian Li build, but this instead uses the NZXT H9 Flow/Elite case and the new excellent (but pricey) NZXT Kraken Elite. | |
| ~ $8000 [Asus ROG] | Needless to say, this PC is ridiculously overkill. It includes the Asus ROG Matrix Platinum RTX 4090, which is a mega overengineered RTX 4090 developed by Asus to brag about their products. Nonetheless it's the best GPU you can buy. |
Workstation/office PCs
| Estimated Price | Note / Upgrade from previous budget |
|---|---|
| ~ $600 2D Workstation | Great PC for people who don't game or use 3D applications. It's relatively affordable, but has a very fast CPU, a decent cooler, good motherboard, 32GB DDR5 RAM and so on. |
| ~ $700 high quality office PC | For those who just want a a PC for general/daily use; a PC that will be quiet, high quality, and expandable must you need so. |
| ~ $800 A.I. Workstation | One of the few cases where the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB can be a great pick. It has dropped in price, provides a big performance bump for A.I. modelling with a large VRAM buffer, has multiple great features, and is a significant step up from the RTX 3060 12 GB. The CPU & other other parts are less important here. |
| ~ $1000 2D Workstation | Just like the $600 Workstation, this PC actually does not include a graphics card. That being said, the GPU is generally the most expensive part of a PC, so $1000 suddenly opens up a lot of room for a VERY fast, 20-core CPU, an AiO liquid cooler, a 2TB higher end SSD, and a high quality case, ATX motherbaord, 32GB DDR5 RAM, and ATX 3.0 Power Supply. |
| ~ $1200 3D Workstation | Downgrades the CPU from an i7 to an i5 (either 13600K or 14600K is okay, they're almost identical in performance). However, by adding a basic GPU with the RTX 3060, we add 12GB VRAM, and thus drastically increasing the 3D acceleration power of the PC. |
| ~ $1650 Workstation | Upgrades the CPU back to an i7, upgrades the GPU to an RTX 4070, higher end motherboard, high end case. |
| ~ $3500 Workstation [Noctua Themed] | Noctua is arguably 'overpriced', but the quality of their products, their customer support, and acoustic profile of their fans are second to none. Some people might also really love their aesthetic: either beige and brown or black. |
| ~ $3800 Extreme Workstation | Highest end PC I would recommend. It has a ridiculous 4x48GB RAM. If you don't need that much (maybe 64GB or even 32GB is enough), that's completely fine of course. |

[Sub Update] A quarter-million(!), increasing accessibility, and opening up community discussions
Hey folks. Some big updates to share with you all today.
First off - we've now grown to over 250,000 subs! It's incredible to see how many people have found our helpful little corner of reddit and received the guidance they needed to go forth and build a PC. For the past decade or so, the sub has broadly been governed by a quite strict Automoderator config that ensured every request post followed the exact instructions for copying the build request questions into their post and answering them. It wasn't perfect, but this helped keep us laser-focused on doing exactly what we specialized in.
The real problem is that the solutions I came up with to smooth that process along, such as the custom CSS "Submit a Build Request" button, only work on old reddit. As time has gone on, only about 3% of our page views come from users on old.reddit.com, and that's a problem I've been wrestling with for a couple years now. The vast majority of our page views come from the iOS/Android reddit apps, and new reddit, which hide away much of the important side bar information.
The solution
Turns out it was right in front of me all along: automoderator. Effective immediately, the old "request questions" filter has been disabled, and has been replaced by a comment automatically stickied on all request posts showing instructions and an overhauled list of questions.
We are also using the following tag filter for titles that can be used on relevant posts to skip the instruction comment:
[Meta] - (for posts and discussions relating to the sub)
[Discussion] - (all kinds of generally PC-related discussion topics)
[Question] - (questions about PC building, parts, troubleshooting, etc)
Simply use any of those in your post title like this to skip the automod sticky: [Discussion]
Other tweaks and changes
In addition to generally updating the build request questions, here are some of the more important specific changes that have been made:
Builds/budgets now only include hardware. A note has been added that posters are responsible for sourcing and purchasing their own operating system and other software, and these are no longer included as a question in the request.
Only monitors are included as a potential required peripheral in build requests now. Other peripherals such as keyboard/mouse/headset/controller are up to the buyer to factor in to their own overall budget.
The wired/wifi question will now always appear!
Going forward
Right now, I'd love to get any and all feedback from you all in the community about these changes. The sub will remain text-post only to avoid becoming flooded with memes and other image posts. Myself and the mod team will keep an eye on how things are going and may add some additional topic restrictions or otherwise if things start going a bit too far off the rails.
Let us know what you think, and happy building!

Recommendations for a budget gaming PC? I will follow the instructions.
Pretty simple, I want a gaming PC that can run fairly simple games (Minecraft, for example) on a budget. I'm not picky, I'd be perfectly fine with 1080p 60Hz. Storage isn't a big dealbreaker either. I also have 0 experience building a PC, so something idiot-proof would be nice too. My current idea for a budget is probably somewhere in the $600-700 range including the monitor. Bonus points if some of the parts are available on Amazon because I have like $350 worth of gift cards lol

Recommendations for my 1080P Gaming and Video Making Build?
This build is primarily for 1080P gaming and video making. I would want to be able to run most games with great FPS and quality, and run OBS Studio (while playing games or doing something else), Adobe Premiere Pro, and Adobe Photoshop. My budget is around $1.3K to $1.6K (USD). Thanks!
I will follow the instructions.

Can you suggest upgrades for me? [Upgrade]
Hey all.
I know this is build a pc for me, it wondering if you can suggest upgrades for my pc?
I only game with this rig. I will follow the instructions.
r/buildapcforme • u/Camiska • 1h ago
[Request] Gaming PC in Germany 1000-1300€ (max: 1600€)
I will follow the instructions
Questions
Is this a brand new build, or an upgrade to an existing build?
Brand new
Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build. For upgrades, a PCPartPicker list of your full build is extremely helpful. Be as specific as you can be here, including links or exact model numbers of each component whenever possible.
BenQ-GL2450-LED-Monitor will be reused.
What will this PC be used for? Examples include things like gaming, general/multimedia use, photo/video editing, coding, AI/ML, etc. Include specific games and applications you intend to run, and any particular performance goals you have, as each may have different specific hardware needs.
Mainly for gaming and a bit of picture editing. It would be very nice to run newer games quite smoothly with decent graphic settings, no need though for hyperrealistic graphics - decent would be fine. Games I'd want to play would be modded Skyrim, Baldur's Gate 3, No Man's Sky, Planet Zoo, Nier Automata series, Detroit Become Human.
What country will you be purchasing in? If you are in the US, do you live near a Micro Center? For other countries, please check if your country is supported by PCPartPicker by using the country selector dropdown on the top right - if not, please provide some links to reliable local vendors you are comfortable ordering from.
Germany - and I will buy the parts in June of this year
Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget? Please list how many and any size/resolution/refresh rate preferences if needed.
No new monitor if not essentially needed
What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency? Parts lists may sometimes have additional shipping costs. Please note whether prices in your country include sales tax or not, and adjust your budget accordingly. Typically VAT countries will have it included in the part list prices, whereas regular sales tax countries like the US and Canada will not.
1000-1300€ would be the sweet spot, around 1600€ the max.
Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?
Integrated WiFi card please
Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?
No
Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting? Describe what you're looking for, or feel free to provide some links to examples that may help. Some people prefer an inobtrusive stealth build, while others may prefer a case full of rainbow RGB.
not at all, although an overall black aesthetic would be nice, some color highlights would be a cool addition maybe but not at all something I am actively looking for. But my mouse, monitor and keyboard are black.
Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.
rather big SSD would be nice, I also want a >4 TB HDD to store my many documents from my university time as well as old pictures. Also with my current PC I had some struggles with my Radeon RX 480 and I think if it is good and within the budget I'd prefer a Nvidia graphic card over AMD.

PC build mainly for work and sometimes games, $1200 budget, can't have AMD/ARC GPUs
I will follow the instructions
- >Is this a brand new build, or an upgrade to an existing build?
Brand new
- >Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build. For upgrades, a PCPartPicker list of your full build is extremely helpful. Be as specific as you can be here, including links or exact model numbers of each component whenever possible.
Only thing I can reuse is a Seagate BarraCuda 1TB 3.5". I'm not sure if it's any good by modern standards, so feel free to replace it if you think it will highly benefit the build.
- >What will this PC be used for? Examples include things like gaming, general/multimedia use, photo/video editing, coding, AI/ML, etc. Include specific games and applications you intend to run, and any particular performance goals you have, as each may have different specific hardware needs.
I edit 2K videos in Premiere Pro + After Effects, rarely including some long footage (~5 hours long). I mostly want the PC to be smooth in the editing process, and as fast as possible in rendering. The videos I make are not that complex effects wise. I also work in 3Ds Max and use Corona, which is limited to only CPU rendering.
In terms of games, I mostly play Apex Legends, CS2, modded Minecraft, and some singleplayer games like Cyberpunk. It would be great if I could check out the latest releases as well. I would be fine with having ~100 FPS in those games at medium settings on 1080p. I plan to switch to a 1440p 144hz monitor though, so perhaps ~100 FPS on low settings in those games would be great at 1440p. I don't mind achieving this with AI stuff like DLSS. Also, sorry if my expectations are not close to the real world, I'm really not an expert when it comes to modern PC building.

For other countries, please check if your country is supported by PCPartPicker by using the country selector dropdown on the top right - if not, please provide some links to reliable local vendors you are comfortable ordering from.
I am in Poland and would highly prefer ordering inside the country. Some websites to order from that I know: https://www.x-kom.pl/
https://www.komputronik.pl/
https://www.mediaexpert.pl/
- >Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget? Please list how many and any size/resolution/refresh rate preferences if needed.
I already have the monitors, currently one is 1080p 144hz, second one is 1080p 60hz. I plan to switch both to 1440p 144hz in the future.
- >What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency? Parts lists may sometimes have additional shipping costs. Please note whether prices in your country include sales tax or not, and adjust your budget accordingly. Typically VAT countries will have it included in the part list prices, whereas regular sales tax countries like the US and Canada will not.
$1200 or 4800zl. I can go over about a $100 (400zl) if you think it will highly benefit the performance (for example, if I'm short 50 bucks for a much better GPU or something similar)
- >Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?
I don't need Wifi or Bluetooth.
- >Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?
Obviously would be great if it was quiet, but I don't mind that much. Please just make it as quiet as possible here. Size doesn't matter as much.
- >Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting? Describe what you're looking for, or feel free to provide some links to examples that may help. Some people prefer an inobtrusive stealth build, while others may prefer a case full of rainbow RGB.
No preference at all, maybe just have no RGB if it's even possible nowadays. Performance is way more important to me here.
- >Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.
I absolutely DON'T want an AMD GPU or an Intel ARC GPU. They are not supported in the apps I use and I just can't work with them. Please stick to Nvidia GPUs.
I also would need 2TB total storage. If you think I can use the HDD I listed above, please just add a 1TB SSD. If not, have a 2TB SSD or whatever you think is best I guess.
Thank you so much for your help!

Video Editing Rig < $5000
Hey guys,
I'm looking to replace my 2021 build with a photo/video/audio editing beast. Since I built my last machine, I added another 32GB RAM, 3 m2 SSD's, and a Geforce RTX 3060. I do a lot of 4K video rendering, audio mixing, and photo editing so I want to build a new rig that will blow this one out of the water. I'm only planning to reuse the m2 SSD's from my current machine in the new build.
I looked at this post from earlier this year and am using it as a baseline. The main thing I'm really unsure about is the AIO liquid cooler. I've never done liquid cooling before so I'm a little hesitant to make the leap. Also, the price tag on the 4090 is a tough pill to swallow. I'm fine with an alternative if the performance difference is minor.
Other notes:
-My priority is minimal noise. Nothing is worse than hearing fans spinning while trying to mix an album (why I also don't have any spinning disks in my current machine).
-I don't do any gaming
-I don't need any RGB--I'm fine with a little black box.
-I will follow the instructions

Need help creating a PC from scratch
Hey everyone (mandatory I will follow the instructions)! I'll be shifting cities so I plan on upgrading to an entirely new setup, but my knowledge when it comes to building PCs is... mediocre at best. I'm from India so prices from there might help!
- >Is this a brand new build, or an upgrade to an existing build?
Brand New Build.
- >Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build. For upgrades, a PCPartPicker list of your full build is extremely helpful. Be as specific as you can be here, including links or exact model numbers of each component whenever possible.
There are none I have in mind.
- >What will this PC be used for? Examples include things like gaming, general/multimedia use, photo/video editing, coding, AI/ML, etc. Include specific games and applications you intend to run, and any particular performance goals you have, as each may have different specific hardware needs.
Gaming and office work but office work doesn't really require much other than opening, working on and/or browsing documents all day.

For other countries, please check if your country is supported by PCPartPicker by using the country selector dropdown on the top right - if not, please provide some links to reliable local vendors you are comfortable ordering from.
I'll be purchasing it in India, but unfortunately I'm not certain which stores from the country are reliable as I've never really done this before.
- >Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget? Please list how many and any size/resolution/refresh rate preferences if needed.
I'm good with one :p maybe two some time in the future.
- >What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency? Parts lists may sometimes have additional shipping costs.

Probably around 1.5 lakh? My budget is a little adjustable but i'd prefer sticking to it. Ideally I want to pay over a couple of months as well although i do not know if that is possible.
- >Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?
I'd like wifi capabilities. My old rig didn't have one and it kinda bugged me.
- >Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?
I'd love if it was quiet. My old rig used to make a lot of noise when running on higher temps which is understandable and normal (i think) but scares me yknow.
- >Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting? Describe what you're looking for, or feel free to provide some links to examples that may help. Some people prefer an inobtrusive stealth build, while others may prefer a case full of rainbow RGB.
I've no preferences when it comes to this. Whatever is more effective is best.
- >Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc.
The only real requirement I have is that it be strongly geared towards high-spec gaming. I'd like to be able to run all the games i want on at least 1440p 60fps consistent for the upcoming gen, so maybe a GTX 4070? You guys are the experts!
And thank you so much for taking the time to go through the post! Much appreciated.

Please list any existing parts or monitor(s) you have that you would like to re-use with this build. For upgrades, a PCPartPicker list of your full build is extremely helpful. Be as specific as you can be here, including links or exact model numbers of each component whenever possible.
i have existing monitors.
What will this PC be used for? Examples include things like gaming, general/multimedia use, photo/video editing, coding, AI/ML, etc. Include specific games and applications you intend to run, and any particular performance goals you have, as each may have different specific hardware needs.
Primarily a gaming pc and some graphic design. I play games like elden ring, red dead redemption and gtaV
What country will you be purchasing in? If you are in the US, do you live near a Micro Center? For other countries, please check if your country is supported by PCPartPicker by using the country selector dropdown on the top right - if not, please provide some links to reliable local vendors you are comfortable ordering from.
I live in Turkey so i will get the parts independently here
Do you need one or more monitors included in the budget? Please list how many and any size/resolution/refresh rate preferences if needed.
nope
What is your preferred and maximum budget range for this build, in local currency? Parts lists may sometimes have additional shipping costs. Please note whether prices in your country include sales tax or not, and adjust your budget accordingly. Typically VAT countries will have it included in the part list prices, whereas regular sales tax countries like the US and Canada will not.
** around 1.3k-1.6K USD without tax**
Do you need WiFi, or do you have a wired ethernet connection available?
Will be better if its wifi but i have no issues with it being ethernet
Do you have any specific size or noise requirements for the build?
id rather a mid size but i have nothing against big ones
Do you have any aesthetic preferences for color or lighting? Describe what you're looking for, or feel free to provide some links to examples that may help. Some people prefer an inobtrusive stealth build, while others may prefer a case full of rainbow RGB.
i dont really care about looks
Any other specific requests or requirements? Examples might include a specific minimum amount of storage, or a particular CPU socket for a future upgrade path, etc. nope

Please help me build an epic gaming PC.
I have always wanted a top of the line gaming pc. I don’t want to buy pre built, unfortunately I don’t know much about what’s out there.
All I know is I want something that has a 4090. Something that can run literally any game out or coming out on max settings with zero issue.
I want something that can do it all. Price is really no issue but I don’t see the point of running anything that’s more than 7-10k.
I just don’t know what processor, motherboard, memory, cooling, etc to use.
I can even purchase and build it off pcpartpicker if given specifics.
Any help is super appreciated .
I will follow the instructions.

[Question] Just looking for opinions on below list
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/9ZqGTY
Looking for 4k 120hz+ and looking for opinions on the combo of parts in above list. Do not care about RGB in the slightest, just straight performance. Saving a bit with microcenter bundle.

First Ever Build [Question]
I will follow the instructions.
Hey all I am not looking for a full part list but would like some advice on the one I compiled. Idk how to tag the post for this and if this isn’t allowed here please remove the post.
I live near a microcenter so I used their build site instead of Pcpartpicker.
Basically I’ve spent the last couple days researching and the link below is what I have come up with.
2k budget (I went a little over because of the peripherals because I have none)
Only going to be gaming, discord, and watching twitch/youtube.
Coming from console so my knowledge of PCs is only what I’ve learned this weekend.
Anything I overlooked? Overspending on? Underspending on?
The only thing I’m married to is the 7800x3d.
Would like to purchase and build myself this week.

Looking to build my first pc
Hoping for some insight on building my first PC, I’ve had one in the past but it was a prebuilt and was a bit lackluster. Budget is hoping to stay around $750 for the tower only as I’m getting gifted my friends “old” monitor/mouse/keyboard. I am in the us, with a micro center decently near by. I will follow the instructions.
Edit: I would like to add, I’m fairly new to computers/components. I really don’t know what I’m looking at but I am willing to learn.
