Lautaro

@SteveGrabowski0 thanks for the recommendations. So far this is his most updated build: 1. not looking do any overclocking since we don't have much experience with that and we wouldn't want to risk damaging the cpu. 2. yes, he's definitely going with the 1080Ti 3. this is where we're mostly lost, we don't know much about which monitors are good for gaming or what specific specs we need to look for other than making sure it's IPS and 4k. 4. yea he's going for a regular SSD nothing so extreme. I've purchased multiple Samsung EVO's over the last 3 years and never had any issues with those so that's why he's going with that one on his build 5. he really wants that 570X, even if it means going over budget ^^ So AMD stock coolers are better than intel's?

I'll be honest here, we went with the Samsung SSD and MSI board for the brand, we don't know these other brands so we were not very sure if go with these or not, but we'll dig a bit more into them and check them out. Seriously?

totally agree with you on this, I'll make sure he takes this into consideration. Thanks!

No reason at all, I guess the general thinking that it's just better than AMD. I think all suggestions are welcome, he might change his mind once he checks out all the suggestions posted here. He doesn't have the monitor so yes, please include. Edited first post to clarify he doesn't have the monitor.

@JDE thanks for noting those mistakes, fixed the post!

My bother wants to build a gaming PC so we need a little advice for selecting the best possible prices, any help will be greatly appreciated. 1. Budget and Location: San Francisco, CA. His budget is $2000 to $2100. 2. Aim: Gaming 3. Monitors: He wants a 27" (minimum size) 4K single monitor. 4. Peripherals: He already has mouse and speakers, he just needs a keyboard. He wants a Razer chroma mechanical keyboard to match with his razer mouse. 5. Case: Full/Mid tower. We're thinking of getting the Corsair 570x, we know it's pricey so any other suggestions are welcomed. 6. Operating System: We got that already, Windows 10. Why is he upgrading? He has an Apple laptop, he needs to ascend. Some other things to take into consideration: CPU can be INTEL OR RYZEN He wants the GPU to be NVIDIA He will need a WIFI card since his router is a bit far away SSD is a must I think I've covered everything, please let me know if I missed anything. And again, thanks a lot for the help! we're very excited to see your suggestions!

@Streetguru @Xenift @LawrenceBarnes2013 @BigDay @brob Thanks a lot guys for your help. I'll be buying the parts this week and I'll make sure to make my very first build log thread.

@Streetguru Wow, that's a lot of very useful info. I don't have so much knowledge when it comes to graphics cards so I guess the less crazy the better. GPU If I go with the W710, do I need to get another video card for the gaming or can I use that one as well? As I mentioned, I'm not much of a heavy gamer, I play like just a handful of games (CS:GO, Starcraft and GTA V). I don't really want to go with some crazy solutions, so maybe going for just one graphics card that fits my needs is the way to go. MONITOR In the video i linked in my post, Linus shows that ASUS PA279 monitor that is 10-bit display and is factory calibrated. A lot of the work that I will do with this machine will be colors in the adobe software. Would you recommend me getting one of those displays instead of the 4K? And most importantly, would it be compatible with the W710 graphics card? CASE I'd prefer to go with a more normal looking case, maybe something like Corsair Obsidian 750D. As I mentioned, not really care about the side panel (i just grabbed the first case design i liked from newegg). CPU COOLER What about Cooler Master Nepton 240M? Good or wouldn't make much of a difference? Thanks!

It sounds really nice. How did they managed to slow it down by 4,000% ?

Hello guys! I’d love some advice on the parts I need to build my new workstation pc. Budget & Location: My budget for this build is $3,000 USD, I can go up to $3,500 if it makes it a considerable change. I live in Orange Country, California, so if there are things I can buy at Frys or BestBuy for example, please consider it. I can also buy from Newegg and amazon ofc. Aim: The main uses for this computer will be video editing, 3d modeling and rendering. In regards of gaming, I’m not much of a gamer, the only games I play are CS:GO and StarCraft. I may want to try some other games with this machine, like the new Star Wars Battlefront game, but I don’t really care if they will run in ultra or not. Some of the “specific” software I will use for work: Adobe Premiere / After Effects / Photoshop Maya LightWave RealFlow SolidWorks Monitor: I’d like to start with a single monitor. I don’t really like ultra wide monitors or curved ones, I really like there to be enough height for all the software I’ll be using. 4K, I’d take that as a plus if it can fit into my budget, but it’s not a must at the moment, I don’t mind using a 2K for now (I can upgrade that later). As for the size of the monitor, something in the range of 24” – 28” seems to be a nice option. Peripherals: I already have the keyboard, mouse, speakers and microphone. So I pretty much will only need the monitor here. Case: Full tower I guess would be a good option, so it leaves me with space for upgrading in the future. Also, I really like Cooler Master Cases. I don’t really care much if it has a window side panel or not. While I do care how it the end result will look like, I put performance as a priority. Operating System: I’ll be using Windows 10 Pro (already have it). Why are you upgrading? I’ve been using my laptop mostly for running most of the software listed above and I feel very limited in terms of power. This would be my first own build (I’ve helped some friends and family build budget pc’s), and It’s something I’m really looking forward to. Something worth mentioning, after watching this video: I’m wondering if I’ll be needing one of those NVIDIA Quadro graphics card, please let me know if you’d recommend using one of those or not. I believe I covered pretty much everything, please let me know if I missed anything. And of course, thanks a lot for the help!

Well, I don't know your mom, but if this was my case, my mom would prefer that I use the money for something that is needed.. What you're talking about is using that money to buy something you don't currently need. I'd save the money and wait until there's something that i really need, that's when these few extra bucks will come in handy. Anyway, if you do decide to use that money on something, my suggestion is a Blue Yeti microphone. I have one and it's really nice.

You're asking because you don't know what you want, basically means you don't actually need anything at this particular moment. I'd say, let your mom pay whatever bill she is going to pay with that and instead use your own money to buy stuff that you want, it feels much better when you get something you needed by yourself. GL.
