Want To Build New PC....Need Help

When building a battlestation it is important to plan about what you want to achieve. If you plan to build a battlestation which you want to play specific games that require certain pc specs, use the following site to help you decide on what components you want to get/require~~~ https://www.systemrequirementslab.com/cyri There are variety of choices to make when selecting the components, but even the component themselves have category of lists to select from. Because if you choose components that are not compatible to run or does not fit on the motherboard, then you are wasting your money.

• Motherboard: Chipset choices that match for either AMD or Intel, what RAM it supports
• CPU: AMD or Intel and socket size that match the motherboard of your choice
• GPU: RADEON or NVIDIA choice?
• Cooling: Choice of fan or liquid and size / dimension you need to consider for your chassis
• HDD: HDD or SSD or NVME (today's time it is safe to choose above 500 GB)
• RAM: DDR2, DDR3, DDR4 and how fast it is
• PSU: Does it deliver enough watts to power all your components. Non, semi or Full Modular

The following is/was one of my budget build which cost me less than $2000 USD, hope that should be enough for you to get started /limited-budget-pc-should-be-called-a-gaming-pc-your-thoughts.50805/ For budget builds, you may need to rely on second hand components, so do make good choices when selecting who you buy from. Check the sellers statuses, their customer reviews and the price they sell at.

One thing to keep in mind now with Covid-19.....supply and demand. GPU's are outrageous in prices now. In June of 2020 I paid $550 for my EVGA RTX 2070 SC 8GB. Now, that same GPU is anywhere from $800 to $1200. The last pricing I saw for the 3090 series started off a $5000. Yes....that's right 5K.

@FeroBu is considering a low budget build A purchase of 1 GPU for the insider, is a pc with just a graphics card Why second hand option is sometimes an essential decision~~~

the most important question is: what is your current pc

why is it the important question?

its determines which new parts should be chosen. If you have a 1060 maybe hold onto the gpu due to lack of 30 series cards. It also shows a lot about the use of the pc.

I appreciate your information but I don't use a pc currently, I use my laptop until now but looking forward to build a new pc but need some assistance

My build budget is 2700$ and I want to use it for gaming and video editing

With the current climate it's highly not recommended to build a PC due to GPU shortages but since your budget is quite large already you can afford the RTX 3070 mark depending on if you're willing to take quite a large loss if supply does come back and what you may need it for. The RTX 3070 most likely costing you towards $1000-1200 at regular prices and possibly falling back down by 1/2 after a year possibly if everything goes to plan for the industries. Yes these GPU prices are pretty much scalper pricings since these are very hard to get a hold of at retail and sometimes stores will even charge you that much. You can look at the latest 5000 series of AMD processors which for your use case could be below $500. You may want 32GB of RAM with it as well which will set you back $130-$150 I reckon depending on the brand otherwise 16GB will be 1/2 of that or less most likely. 1TB of storage should be fine with M.2 capability which will set you back 120-150 for a decent one. A good motherboard to support all this will be around 120-180 based on branding again. As for Peripherals, Casing and Cooling for the CPU is based off preference and unsure what is available. Most likely for video editing you will need 2 monitors which if Peripherals and Monitors are needed may want to downgrade many of the parts here since these parts will most likely be overkill for monitors towards the 1080p range. In all honesty Laptops are looking very good for their price because of the shortage. And that's my sort of guideline for the PC I'm not a massive expert on PC building and only research base on curiosity and as a hobby of tech overall but this is my opinion on stuff. I recommend using PCPartPicker if you're building from scratch since that'll allow you to budget properly.

It's a short guide but useful thanks!

would water cooled be better then using a fan by itself? I understand the issues with the water, springing a leak and the likes, but having chroma running through a pc rather then having it looping around a fan sounds much better and aesthetically pleasing. The current set up that I have at the moment is crap, and would love to upgrade, but due to the prise cost of parts, I'm stuck with what I have at the moment.

I wish you the best of luck. Normally with that budget you should be able to build a pretty good set up. I went from an Asus non-gaming laptop to a PC build back in November/December and got lucky to get a 3060Ti at MSRP in mid december. That was weeks of searching and waiting and trying to get through to places when there was a question of if they might have gotten a shipment in. With that 3060Ti and a Ryzen 5 3600 (I know I could have and perhaps should have went for a better CPU but it does the job I wanted and price was good) and 32Gb of RAM i've been having a joy playing games at high settings on 1440p which likely wouldnt have even run or if did would have been laggy as can be on my laptop. But for video editing you'd likely want better than my set up for rendering speeds to be faster or whatever.

I believe confidence and practice is the key. Many say water cooling show better results of

• cooling
• overclocking results
• less dust solution
• delivers better RGB lighting effects

so I would like to try it out myself also. You watch those pc build guidelines from youtube, and we sort of underestimate ourselves thinking if they can do it, I can do it also. Your mind sort of falls into this temporary boost of confidence~~~ The youtubers hide their true nature of frustration when trying something new, but they have proved that the water cool build is possible. As a viewer, practice and confidence in our hand skills is the key. It will also be good to learn a little about plumbing skills also. Disadvantages of water cool builds are the followings

• Regular maintenance checks (for leaks and other scraps that get in the tube)
• Tubes get in the way of future upgrades
