I got no idea how to build a pc

[Poprock396]

Budget (including currency): 1800

Country: US

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: I play a lot of Far cry, destiny 2, csgo, Escape from tarkov, etc

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I bought a prebuilt when I was a kid a ROG G20AJ and I'm running a ASUS VG248QE monitor

I'm planning on giving this computer to my brother and building a new one and would really appreciate if someone could recommend me builds or helping me build my own.

How does that storage thing work? Would it have 5TB? Also what's the difference between the storages like IHD and SSD?

Yes you will get 5TB total.

1 TB for the system and programs. This will use the faster SSD Drive.

4 TB for everything else. This will use the slower IHD aka Hard Disk Drive.

Thanks a lot man imma just look into what you sent me and plan on probably making that tbh, how would I know all the parts work together and how to build it? Is there anyone you could recommend to look into how to do all this?

A HDD is a hard drive. It has physical spinning disks to store data. Slower than SSD's

A SSD is solid state drive. It uses charges to store information. Some SSD's are faster than others but generally its PCIE and NVME > SATA

 

You would have 5 TB in total

The user manual should do a fine enough job. But I would like to make a few changes to the original list.

You may want to look into something like a Corsair RM instead. Do you need 32 GB? if not and there is a sizable difference in price between a 16 gb kit, go 16 gb instead.

OP is running a 1080p monitor. if i remember correctly, AMD was beating Nvidia on 1080p.

You can just bring my list to a computer shop let them handle the build.

Most of the parts in interchangeable with similar model from other brands.

If they don't have it, ask them for a similar subtitution.

Or you can just buy them online and bring it all to the shop for a build fee.

I would prefer a 32GB if you think it would be worth it in the long run cause I plan to have this computer for a while.

Do you need a mouse, keyboard, monitor and headphones for the price listed?

So are you saying I should get a new monitor to work with newer parts or is my monitor fine?

but the question is, do you need it? are you going to do things that are rather RAM intensive? like are you going to video edit, 3d rendering, etc. Not that you can't go 32 Gb (after all I did) but there is a point of diminishing returns once you go high capacity

Ah no I don't think I will except maybe a new monitor if its recommended. Thanks

nono its just that Nvidia right now has the crown in high res. you are doing joe shmoe 1080p so you can save a buck or two and go AMD who has the lead rn in 1080p

I don't think I will be, I do a lot of photoshop but its not too intense, everything else is just video games and watching youtube.

So from that original build that was suggested is there anything you would change or add? I kind of want everyone's opinion on this since I sure af have no clue what im doing.

Umm, It's cheaper and better?

Yeah it could be 3080, why not.

memories are cheap man, why not just buy it now, when the prices at the bottom.

cant say the same thing a year later.

If I plan on a 16 for now are they swappable or? Like could I just take the 16 out and put in the 32?

PSU. if you plan to carry forward this build, go 750 watt and a better quality PSU. I recommend the Corsair RM 750 watt. I have it and its pretty nice

oh no don't swap. instead, just buy the same kit again and insert it into the other slots.
