what should I get first ?

What should I buy first when starting a new build?

You should save up and buy all the parts together, during a sale if possible.

New parts might come out between when you start the order and when you finish or the prices may drop.

Buy stuff that doesnt fluctuate first, like the cpu cooler, peripherals, etc. Lastly, id buy the cpu,gpu, etc.

someone one else add to my post more, im lazy

Too Finish above...... wait for sales to by expensive components like Cpu, GPU and Motherboard.

[Legenderys]

yup you should get them all together

If you are building up a PC , part by part instead of building it all at the same time, then the CPU, motherboard and memory,with a working compatiible PSU,should all be purchased at the same time, reason being is if anything is DOA, then you will know and be able to RMA it to the retailer, then having to deal with the manufacture of the part.

IMO, case.

[Phage]

Peripherals, desk, chair, keyboard etc

[MogIsWinning]

Case, and wait to buy everything else at the same time

if you are planing a normal build start with motherboard, cpu, gpu and other essentials.

 

but if you are getting high profile coolers, custom waterloop, or if you have any doubts about components fitting start with the case, motherboad, gpu, cpu and move your way up..
