Hey everyone,

This sub has been growing a lot as of recently and we've noticed a lot of posts have been getting buried and unanswered. There is a lot of noise due to how much it has grown.

I have created r/ComputerBuild as an alternative.

So please kindly try cross posting there to get it off the ground.

I will be helping users daily and also building a mod team/looking for moderators to help.

Thanks!

€900 - €1200 build, based in Croatia/EU.

Upvotes

Hi dudes, looking for some opinions.

I'm based in Croatia, so i'm expecting to order most of my stuff from German sites if local isn't possible.

Trying to build a pc that costs somewhere around €900 to €1200, would prefer if it was as low as possible of course (€1000+ range, dont mind going a little over the budget though), while still maintaining pretty good performance.

Don't really play any super demanding AAA games, I mostly play indie and rhythm games along with the occasional league of legends, valorant and overwatch.

Aside from gaming, I do digital art (on a pen display connected to the pc) using programs like (mainly) krita and blender.

I'd prefer if the GPU wasn't NVIDIA.

As for aesthetics, white would be ideal, though it gets pretty expensive. I dont mind going for black if it saves a significant amount of €.

I really enjoy the look of the mid-tower tempered glass cases and have built in one in the past, i'd like to own one again.

Thanks!

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to find a pc that is less than 2k (CAD), preferably as low as possible price-wise while maintaining pretty good performance. Games aren't really anything crazy, just something that can run stuff like cozy games and some steam games (not triple A but that option would be nice as well) for my gf.

One thing is that it has to have a white pc case please!

Thank you!

US / >$1400 Help Needed building a custom 500000 pc in India (approx 5200 USD)

Hi everyone, thanks for taking the time to read my post!
This will be my first time building a PC. I've always played on a gaming laptop, but now I'm finally ready to build a desktop. I mainly play AAA games and competitive FPS titles, so my goal is to build the bestgaming PC possible within my budget.

My budget is around ₹5,00,000, and this includes the monitors. However, I'm willing to stretch the budget a little if there's a significant improvement in performance or if it's worth it for the long term. If including the monitors means compromising the PC too much, I'm happy to buy them separately on a different budget.

I'm located in India and will most likely be buyingeverything this month. If there are any major hardwarereleases coming soon that are worth waiting for, I'dreally appreciate your advice.
For the build itself:
Primary use: Gaming (AAA and competitive FPS games), with some general productivity.
Storage: 2TB SSD.
Memory: 32GB RAM.
Overclocking: Not something I plan to do right away, but I'd like the option to explore it in the future.
Performance is my top priority, but I also want the build to look great.

I'm planning on going with a white PC because my roomhas a dark aesthetic with dark walnut furniture, and I think the contrast would look amazing.
For displays, I'm planning to buy a 4K 240Hz OLEDmonitor as my main monitor, along with a secondary IPSmonitor. If anyone has recommendations for either, I'd love to hear them.

I also care about the aesthetics of the build. I'd like plenty of customizable RGB lighting, and it would be awesome if I could set up cool startup lighting effects. I'm also interested in having one or two LCD screensinside the case for things like hardware stats, GIFs, or custom images, so I'd appreciate recommendations for those too.
I'm completely open to suggestions for every part of the build—CPU, GPU, motherboard, cooler, case, fans, PSU, storage, monitors, or anything else. If you think there's a better way to spend the budget, I'm all ears.
Thanks in advance for any recommendations! If you have any questions or need more information, I'll be happy to answer.

First time build recomendation

Hi folks,

I need help building a pc, ive been researching for weeks and honestly it so overwhelming, i just end up walking away with more questions about everything.

Im at the point where im so desperate to get into pc gaming that i just need to dive in and get started so i would love to have some recommendations.

I dont have a budget but assume id be paying around £1500-£2000, and i dont care about having the best or max graphics, but i do want at least 120fps and ultra smooth performance. I also dont have any space limitations, have no desire for asthetics and would also need peripherals. I am based in the UK and want only new parts.

Thanks in advanced

I legit have barely any knowledge about which competents r good that’s why I’m asking 🥲 I wanna do mostly gaming on the pc (maybe after effects) and I want everything to be smooth. I also wanna do possibly streaming in the future :)

I have a budget of ₹15,000 and want to buy a PC, but I don't have much knowledge about computer hardware. Should I buy a pre-built PC or get a custom PC assembled? Which option will give me better value, performance, and future upgradeability within this budget?

Hello everyone planning on taking advantage of my states tax free weekend in a few weeks and building my first PC. I have an Xbox but also play strategy games like hoi4 tft civ, but would also like to slowly fully convert everything I play to pc as I want to avoid buying a next gen Xbox

I care much more about games running smoothly and higher fps especially for late game strategy games. Don’t have an exact budget. I believe my current monitor is good enough so looking at under 1500 without buying a monitor

What Would You Build With ₹5,00,000? First PC + Dual Monitor Setup (India)

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I'm planning to build my first PC and would really appreciate some help from the community. I'm looking for a high-end setup and want to get the best performance possible within my budget while also making sure the build looks great.

Budget: ₹5,00,000 (including monitors)
I can stretch the budget slightly if it makes sense and provides a meaningful improvement.

New build or upgrade?
New build. I am starting completely from scratch.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse?
None. I need everything.

PC purpose?

  • AAA gaming at 4K with high FPS
  • Video editing
  • General productivity

Purchase country?
India. I will be buying from Indian retailers (online or local), depending on availability and pricing.

Monitors needed?
I want a dual-monitor setup:

  • Primary monitor: 4K 240Hz OLED (preferably 32-inch)
  • Secondary monitor: 27-inch IPS monitor

Build preferences:

  • I want the best performance possible for my budget.
  • Aesthetics are important to me, so I would prefer a white-themed build with matching components where possible.
  • I like a clean, premium look with tasteful RGB.
  • Performance comes first, but I don't want to compromise too much on appearance.

Connectivity:
I would like both Wi-Fi and Ethernet support.

Size/noise constraints:
No size restrictions. I would prefer a reasonably quiet system during normal use, but performance is the priority.

Parts I need recommendations for:

  • CPU
  • GPU
  • Motherboard
  • RAM
  • SSD storage
  • CPU cooler/AIO
  • Power supply
  • Case
  • Case fans
  • Monitor recommendations
  • Any other accessories I should consider

A few questions:

  • Is it worth waiting for upcoming CPU/GPU releases?
  • Are there any parts where spending more would actually make a noticeable difference?
  • Are there any compatibility issues or mistakes I should avoid as a first-time builder?
  • What would you build if you had this budget?

I don't have any brand loyalty (AMD/Intel/NVIDIA). I just want the best overall setup for gaming, longevity, and aesthetics.

Thanks in advance! Looking forward to your suggestions.

Micro PC build?

1 Upvotes

Sorry for the stupid question in advance.

So below is the following outline:
- I do 80% of my work on Mac (design)
- I will need to use a PC for Itunes/soulseek and Calibre for syncing files to my kindle
- I have a KVM switch already with external monitors
- I port everything to external SSD drives for saving most of my files

My question is, can I build a mini PC that takes up a tiny footprint on my desktop a la Mac Mini or smaller?

I need a very, very bare bones microPC that can boot Windows OS and I can KVM switch on the fly between the microPC and my macbook during my workday.

Is this feasible? Ive only done regular PC builds with a standard ATX board.

I saw that mini atx boards exist.

Please advise.

US / >$1400 First Mini-ITX Gaming Build Under $1500 USD. Looking for Build Recommendations

3 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’m looking to build my first Mini-ITX gaming PC, but I don’t have much experience with PC building, so I’d really appreciate some guidance.

My budget is $1500 (usd) max, and I’d ideally like the case to be 11L or smaller. My goal is something compact and clean-looking.

This PC will be used almost entirely for gaming, so I’d like it to perform as close to a full-size desktop as possible. I’m also happy to buy used/second-hand parts if it means getting better performance for the money.

I don’t have any brand preferences. I’m just looking for the best gaming performance I can get within my budget. I’m also not interested in unnecessary RGB.

If you have any part recommendations, a complete parts list, or a build I could use as a starting point, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

Cheers,
