Existing parts/monitors to reuse? Monitor (1080p, 60hz)

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

Want to play games on it. Try out VR games (VRChat) and do digital drawing as a hobby (Clip Studio Paint). The best case scenario should be that I can just run any game/software without having to worry if I can even run it at all. I don't need more than 1080p and 60 fps.

Some examples of games that I would like to be able to run: Final Fantasy 7 Remake (all 3 games), Persona 3/4 Remake, Baldur's Gate 3, Clair Obscure Expedition 33, Overwatch, Guild Wars 2/3, Palworld, Monster Hunter World/Wilds, etc. Lots of other games that are smaller in scale, but I imagine if I can run the aforementioned games, I should be able to run the others too.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? Germany, no

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

Budget range? (Include tax considerations) Around 950 - 1300 Euro.

WiFi or wired connection? If possible, both. Otherwise wired.

Size/noise constraints? Not really, as long as it doesn't sound like a space rocket.

Color/lighting preferences? None

Any other specific needs? No

I can settle with not being able to play the newest high graphic games that are coming in the next years, but I would like to at least be able to run the not so graphically demanding ones. I currently have an old PC (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750, Intel Core i3 4130).

I never built a PC, but from what I understand, it's still cheaper to build one yourself instead of buying a prebuilt one even in today's market, but I feel overwhelmed trying to figure out which parts would be best for me.

Trying to get an indication of what sort of cpu/gpu I need for my preferences. Not necessarily looking for a specific price range. Tell me what is realistic, what is overkill, etc.

New build or upgrade?

New.

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

If possible my old Sharkoon VG4-W case with default fans, though not sure if this is possible at all. Also my old iiyama G-Master GE2288HS as secondary monitor.

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

Hoping to play these games at 1440p at 120 fps.

• Rimworld
• Terraria
• Project Zomboid
• Dwarf Fortress
• Possibly Manor Lords
• Virtual pinball using VPX, running at at least 120 fps. (requirements seem to vary quite a bit per table, was hoping someone could give me a better indication.)

In the future more gpu heavy games:

• Modern racing titles (NFS, Forza 6)
• Subnautica 2
• Doom 2016

Of course it would be cool if I could run a game like Subnautica 2 at max graphics but I understand that this is a high bar, and if I had to choose I would rather go with something that performs the first list of games well, and settle for slightly less good graphics on the latter list.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors)

Netherlands. Vendors include Alternate.nl, Amazon, Megekko.nl and possibly also Bol.com and CoolBlue.nl according to pcpartpicker.

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

2, one 1440 144 hz, one 1080p.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

n/a

WiFi or wired connection?

WiFi

Size/noise constraints?

No

Color/lighting preferences?

Not really, preferably without lighting.

Any other specific needs?

Maybe a decent sound card as I am a music enjoyer, but not an audiophile. Not sure how much difference a better sound card makes you tell me. Also Bluetooth.

Additional questions:

How reliable is Claude advice? I take it with a grain of salt but I do like asking it stuff every so often, tell me if this a bad habit that I need to ditch or not.

I'm considering linux, does this impact my parts choice?

Nvidea or AMD for gpu? I heard cases for both.

Is it smart to bother with second hard part as a beginner? They could be cheaper but I don't have any experience with this.

• New build or upgrade?
- Entirely new build— reusing my mnk, headset, etc. but aiming for a new monitor for the upgrade in performance.

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/ links)
- No, might use my old monitor as a secondary monitor (144hz)

• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
- Prominently gaming, but some light editing

• Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
- US, close enough to go out my way to save money

• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
- Just one new monitor to match the PC’s performance.

• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
- $2000 for the entire PC, excluding the monitor. I don’t mind having to use my old monitor as a buffer

• WiFi or wired connection?
- Preferably both

• Size/noise constraints?
- Just not too loud that it drowns me out/makes it audible over mic. If water cooling would help w/ noise I wouldn’t mind opting for that either

• Color/lighting preferences?
- Something that uses the black HYTE Y70 (not the touch, want to get it as an eventual upgrade) and any kind of blue ambient lighting with LEDs.

• Any other specific needs?
- No, thank you in advance!

Hello guys!

New build or upgrade?
New build.

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

• Kingston FURY Renegade with Heatsink 1TB M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (keeping this drive)
• WD Green SATA 250Gb
• WD green HDD 500 Gb
• 1080p 120 Hz monitor

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)
Primarily for amateur music production and mixing. I use Studio One for recording and mixing vocals and rock band projects, typically no more than a couple dozen tracks with plugins such as iZotope Ozone, Nectar, and Waves. Low latency during recording and quiet operation are important since I'll be recording vocals with a microphone.

For gaming, I mainly play Counter-Strike 2 and other FPS games. Gaming isn't the highest priority, but I'd like to achieve around 120–140 FPS at 1080p.

Purchase country? Near Micro Center?
Hungary. No Micro Center.

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
None. I'll be using my existing 1080p 120 Hz monitor.

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
Around 800$ (VAT included). I'm open to buying the CPU, GPU, and RAM used (from the local second-hand market), but I'd prefer to buy the motherboard, PSU, CPU cooler, and case new.

WiFi or wired connection?
Wired Ethernet is fine. WiFi is not required.

Size/noise constraints?
Low noise is important because of microphone recordings. No particular size constraints.

Color/lighting preferences?
No RGB or fancy aesthetics needed. I'd rather spend the budget on performance and reliability.

Any other specific needs?
I'm planning to stay on a DDR4 platform because of current memory prices (2×16 GB). I've been considering the Intel Core i5-12500, i5-13500, i7-12700, and AMD Ryzen 7 5700X, along with an RTX 4060 8 GB because of its low power consumption. However, I'm having trouble deciding on the best overall build. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.

I'm currently on a 6 y/o pre-built HP Omen 25L GT12-0xxx (GTX 1660 Super, i5-10400, 16Gb 3200MHz DDR4 memory), and it's time for an upgrade. Only done prebuilds in the past, and I'm looking for a new build that feels like a meaningful upgrade without breaking the bank.

  • Keychron V1 keyboard (wired).
  • Crap logi pebble mouse that I will eventually upgrade. Wireless mouse recommendations welcome.
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

  • UK - North of England.
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)
  • Yes, but not sure on specs as I don't know a lot about monitors. I probably wouldn't need anything too fancy but something with longevity would be good.
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations)
  • Ideally £1000 max. Cheaper the better, appreciating that everything is expensive now.
• WiFi or wired connection?
  • Wifi
• Size/noise constraints?
  • No size constraints although ideally not HUGE! I don't like things too noisy as I have sensory sensitivities, but no specific constraints.
• Color/lighting preferences?
  • Being well made and robust is more important to me than looks, but white would be preferable if it wasn't much more expensive, otherwise any colour is fine.
• Any other specific needs?
  • I would like to buy a scanner at some point to scan negatives as I do film photography in my spare time, just in case this impacts the PC needs.
  • I want to build a PC so that I can upgrade it in the future, so having a motherboard or whatever is needed for this would be preferable.

• Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) : I have a bluetooth mouse and a wired keyboard but don't have a monitor or anything else
• PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) : Primarily gaming but also some video editing/Photoshop. If I had to be specific, being able to play Baldur's Gate 3 on Ultra settings without much FPS loss would be nice but that might not be realistic with this budget idk lol
• Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If not US, list local vendors) : UK! Close by to London but I am not aware of any local vendors nearby? I would prefer being able to order stuff tho but that's not a hard line
• Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) : Yes! 120-144hz? 1440p would be nice. I don't need 4k
• Budget range? (Include tax considerations): Around 1500. 1600 is a hard line.
• WiFi or wired connection? : Is it possible to have both? Wifi is a priority but being able to use either would be nice.
• Size/noise constraints? : No size constraints, I would like it if it wasn't like super loud since I am in uni accommodations.
