First Time Building

[u/Nultss]

Hi everyone,

Im looking at getting 2 different builds going, one for me and one for my friends.

We're getting into pc gaming to play those games that otherwise arent available on other consoles or that offer a different experience playing on PC (PEAK, Valorant, COD Zombies, ect.) so we're not looking to run any games like Cyberpunk for example on max settings.

Build 1: SFF PC

I like the idea of a small form factor PC on my desk, and I love the look of the NZXT H2 Flow Mini, so I built this system around that case.

This one would be for me, my budget is slightly larger than the other guys but this is really pushing it.

Build 2: Budget PC

This build is for my mates.

The goal was to keep the cost as reasonable as possible without sacrificing quality or performance, this one really is at the pointy end of the budget if not already over.

I'm very new to PC building, so I'd really appreciate any feedback. Are there any components you'd recommend swapping out to save some money, improve performance, or avoid potential issues?

Thanks in advance 😄
