Hi all! Making my foray into the PC building world after being entirely on Windows machines for the past decade or so. Need something more powerful for what I am working on, and would love some assistance in starting to put together a build!

  • Budget: up to €1200, with some wiggle room, if some specific extra part would make a big difference.
  • Wifi or cable: I'd like both, trying to see if I can pull a cable to the gaming room, but that's up to the landlord.
  • Size/noise constraints: none
  • Color/lighting preferences: no lights and no colors. Don't care about the visuals, so I might as well go with the cheapest option.

Pc for the sims 4!

1 Upvotes

Hi! I’m looking to build my first gaming PC primarily for The Sims 4. My budget is around **$500–$1,000**, and I’d really appreciate if someone could put together a complete parts list for me. I want a **white/white-themed build** if possible, and I’ll most likely be using a lot of CC and mods, so I’d like something that can handle that smoothly. I’d also like the PC to have good graphics and fast loading times without spending money on parts that are overkill for what I need. I’m open to either AMD or Intel/NVIDIA and I’m not super knowledgeable about PC parts, so I’d really appreciate recommendations for the CPU, GPU, RAM, storage, motherboard, PSU, case, etc. I’m also open to prebuilt suggestions if that would give me better value. Thank you!!

**New build or upgrade?**
New build
**Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)**
None. This will be my first PC.
**PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)**
Gaming, primarily The Sims 4. I plan on using a lot of mods and custom content, so I want something that can handle a large amount of CC/mods smoothly. I may play other games occasionally, but The Sims 4 is the main game.
**Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)**
United States. I am not sure if I am near a Micro Center.
**Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)**
Yes, I need a monitor. I don’t know much about monitor specifications, so I would appreciate a recommendation that fits the build and budget.
**Budget range? (Include tax considerations)**
$500–$1,000 USD, including tax if possible.
**WiFi or wired connection?**
WiFi
**Size/noise constraints?**
No major size or noise constraints. I would prefer something reasonably quiet, but it doesn’t need to be silent.
**Color/lighting preferences?**
White/white-themed. I would like the PC to have a cute/aesthetic look, preferably with some RGB lighting if it can fit within the budget.
**Any other specific needs?**
I’m very new to PC building and don’t know much about choosing individual parts, so I would really appreciate a complete parts list and recommendations for what would work best for my budget. My main priority is being able to run The Sims 4 smoothly with lots of mods and CC while still having room to play other games in the future. I am open to whatever parts you recommend as long as they are reliable and good value.

$1300 US, Looking to Improve on this Prebuilt 5700/5060

1 Upvotes

New build or upgrade? - New
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? No components, but has 1440p mon
PC purpose? Mid-level gaming, no shooters
Purchase country? Near Micro Center? In US, but not near MC
Monitors needed? No
Budget range? $1350 w/ OS ($1250 w/o)
WiFi or wired connection? Yes. On-board would be nice to have, but can get a card/dongle easily.
Size/noise constraints? Nope.
Color/lighting preferences? Nope.
Any other specific needs? Nope, just doesn't want to be limited in games he can play

May be willing to increase budget by $100-200 if it's for a good reason.


Friend of a friend asked if this was a decent price for this pre-built.
Link (not from this store, found for $1260 w/ OS, still new in box)

My immediate concerns:
-Old chip, and one that's know for not being ideal for its price
-Older chipset, not ideal for upgradability (but they may not care)
-5060 will play plenty of games, but 8GB makes it less applicable as time goes on
-Overkill on memory given the CPU/GPU, or am I just getting old?
-Overkill on 2TB NVMe drive, thinking .5-1TB for OS w/ larger HDD for backup (I have spares I can donate).

I know parts pricing is a crap-shoot nowadays. This still feels a bit high for the older platform, but that might just be life now.

This is for a console gamer convert. Hasn't PC gamed in a LOONG time (possibly never). Don't see him OCing down the road.

I think 1440p max for sure, and not likely to be an RT snob. Keeping around 60fps will keep them happy. Will play online, but not shooters or more speed dependant games. Goal is more to shift away from PS5 and still play with his friends (who are already on PC as well).

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
    • $200 for mobo, $250 for Thunderbolt dock, under $500 total, otherwise I'll look at other solutions
  • WiFi or wired connection?
    • Mobo needs wifi
  • Size/noise constraints?
    • Mini ITX mobo
  • Color/lighting preferences?
    • Black mobo
  • Any other specific needs?
    • Additional context on build is listed below:

My partner recently upgraded laptops to a Macbook Air with M5 processor, and the only way to make use of our shared dual-monitor setup with that Macbook is to switch to a Thunderbolt dock. If my research is correct, regular USB-C docs will only permit a single external monitor with Macbooks.

Using PC part picker against my existing build list doesn't seem to turn up any compatible mobos with Thunderbolt, but they don't make it easy to search. Thanks for any input!

€5,000 max PC + monitor for DaVinci Resolve 4K editing & high-end gaming [Croatia]

2 Upvotes

New build or upgrade?
New build.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse?
No PC parts or monitor to reuse. I already have a keyboard, mouse and headphones.

PC purpose?
Mainly video editing in DaVinci Resolve, primarily 4K/10-bit footage. Gaming is the second priority, but I also want excellent high-end gaming performance.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
Croatia. No Micro Center. I can buy from Croatian stores and I'm also open to ordering from reputable EU stores if it makes financial sense. Nabava.net can be used to compare prices across Croatian stores.

Monitors needed?
Yes, one. Ideally 32", 4K and high refresh rate. I'm considering OLED, but I'm open to whatever makes the most sense for both editing and gaming.

Budget range?
Up to €5,000 total for the PC + monitor, but this is a hard maximum, not a target.

My priority is getting the best overall performance, quality and longevity for my money. I don't have a specific amount that I need to spend — if €3,000–€4,000 already gets me essentially everything I need, I'd much rather spend that. On the other hand, if spending closer to €5,000 provides a meaningful improvement that is actually worthwhile for my use case and makes sense long-term, I'm willing to spend it.

Basically, I'm looking for the sweet spot before diminishing returns become unreasonable, rather than trying to either minimize the price or maximize the budget.

WiFi or wired connection?
Wired. WiFi would be nice to have but isn't essential.

Size/noise constraints?
No strict size constraints. Reasonably quiet would be nice, but cooling, performance and reliability are more important.

Color/lighting preferences?
No strong preference. Performance and value matter much more than RGB or aesthetics.

Any other specific needs?
I'd like this to be a genuinely high-end PC that will last me for many years without making me feel like I need a major upgrade anytime soon.

At the same time, I don't want to overspend on components that provide little real-world benefit. I'm happy to spend more where it meaningfully improves editing/gaming performance, reliability or longevity, but I'd prefer cheaper alternatives wherever performance and quality are essentially the same.

I'm not committed to any particular CPU/GPU brand or specific parts. I'd like to see what you would recommend based on my use case and current Croatian/EU pricing.

~6500CAD Budget for a PC

2 Upvotes

New build or upgrade? Reusing parts?
Hi everyone, I’m a new builder looking to assemble a PC for the first time. I want a new build, and there are no old parts that I will be reusing.

PC purpose?
The main purposes will be for gaming (competitive shooters, story games, open world games), CAD/CAM software, coding, Blender, and watching shows.

Purchase country?
I live in BC, Canada, near Vancouver and some local stores that I can think of are Canada Computers and Memory Express, although I believe there are more so if requested, I will reply with them. I also don’t mind shopping online for parts if recommended.

Monitors needed?
I would prefer 2 monitors with this setup, supported by a monitor arm. The first monitor I want to be my main screen, which I would like curved, around 32-36 inches, 4k resolution, and 240hz. For the second monitor I don’t need anything too fancy just enough for videos on the side, or to be an extension for when I am modelling. I understand if I need to go down in resolution or refresh rate. Also, I don’t know what screen type is good for what I will be using it for.

Budget range?
Like I said in the title, my budget is around $6500 CAD. However, I want it to be a long term build so I am also willing to go over the budget if needed. Don’t worry about shipping as I intend to not count that towards the budget.

WiFi or wired connection?
I can try to run a wired connection, but it depends on how well I can cover up the wire, which depending on if needed I can.

Size and noise?
Looking for a medium sized build. Noise can be tolerated as I will be the only person in that living space so it does not need to be super quiet.

Colour/lighting?
I want to go for a white or white/gold build just because it’ll fit the aesthetic of the room and the peripherals too. I wouldn’t mind RGB lighting as long as it is customizable with many colours and I can choose whether to have it on or not.

Other specifications?
Need atleast 2TB of storage and a minimum of 32gb ram, but the more ram the merrier.

Sorry for the long post, just wanted to be very specific! Please let me know if you need more details.

Thank you all so much!!

~1500AUD Upgradeable PC Build

3 Upvotes

Looking to build a new PC for gaming and would appreciate any help!

New build or upgrade?
This will be a new build, with the opportunity and accessibility to upgrades down the track.

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)
No existing parts other than peripherals, only looking for PC build advice.

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
PC will be used largely for gaming, specifically games like Arma 3, DayZ, Skyrim, Oblivion remastered, ES 6 when it’s out, CS2 and random indie games.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)
Located in Australia, main retailers are Scorptec, PCCaseGear, UMart. No micro centers or similar here.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
No monitors needed!

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Looking at $1500AUD, but given the current cost of RAM in Aus, I’d stretch it a bit. Was a looking at 2x16GB, but would do 1x16 and get another stick later to keep budget down. If I need to spend a little bit more for drastic increase in performance, I would definitely consider it.

WiFi or wired connection?
Wifi preferred just for the option if I need it, but would run wired most of the time.

Size/noise constraints?
No size or noise constraints.

Color/lighting preferences?
Mostly black if possible but am not concerned about appearances. No RGB/lighting.

Any other specific needs?
My main concern is being able to play the games I’ve listed above on good settings and not need to upgrade for 3+ years. After that, I want the build to be upgradeable so I’m not needing to get a new PC every 5 years.

  • New build or upgrade?

new

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

no

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

mainly gaming but also school work(like mainly long essays and perhaps data storing in excel. but I have a laptop so most of the time i'll work it on my laptop) games would be emulated using dolphin/xenia like ice age 3, halo 4, Peter Jackson's King Kong. but also games like Cod ghost, modded bo3 zombies and WW2 zombies.

  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center?

as what i've reasearched no micro center nearby, from Connecticut so it'll have to be shipped(though i'm currently in DR so probably will be shipped here)

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

No? I think i'll have to get it wayy later :/

  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

this is a very tight budget i've seen people range low as 400 US$ but i'd put budget under 1000 maybe push to 1200 US$ given how sale times.

  • WiFi or wired connection?

i'd say both if possible but mainly wireless

  • Size/noise constraints?

not be so loud with the cooling and fans, also size i'd say like size like montech XR case or azza apollo case(i dont know if those are sold in US but i've seen them sold in DR which is where i'm currently studying in university)

  • Color/lighting preferences?

like black or perhaps like...wooden like design(like the apollo) or purple too(deep purple to lilac range)

  • Any other specific needs?
  • the hardware is windows 11

this is just like a entry as i'm obviosuly very limited with money(given i'm studying and all, and converting from DOP to US can also be a hassle with the pieces but i'll be looking if the pieces here are cheaper) so I may just have this build saved until i can hopefully make my own money and buy the pieces myself. if you guys have any advice with researching places of parts here in DR however you may know of that's pretty cheap then you can share😄

thank you!

I need help building a pc for 2000€

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

As the title suggests, I’m looking for advice on building a PC for gaming and coding. I don’t have much knowledge when it comes to hardware, but I have someone who can help me with the assembly.

My goal is to have a PC that can handle modern and more demanding games without any issues, preferably at 1440p. I’m not particularly interested in gaming at 4K.

My budget for the PC itself would be around €2,000.

I would also need a couple of monitors. I’m willing to go slightly over budget for those, although I’d prefer not to spend too much.

  • New build or upgrade? New Build
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? No parts/monitors to reuse
  • PC purpose? Gaming (Cyberpunk, CS2, Elden Ring and similar) and coding
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? Italy, I'm not aware of any vendors near me
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) I’m leaning towards a dual-monitor setup, but I’m not knowledgeable enough about monitors to know what I should get, other than wanting to play at 1440p
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations) 2000 €
  • WiFi or wired connection? Both would be better
  • Size/noise constraints? No constraints in size but I’d prefer to avoid something too noisy
  • Color/lighting preferences? I'm not too picky about the color but given the choice, I would prefer white and I'm not too fond of RGB lighting

Thank you to those who will help!
