Need some help with a pc-build

[Sjio]

HI! I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to pc-building, so i need some help choosing parts for a PC used mainly for gaming.

 

My budget is around 1500$

 

Thanks in advance!

[ProdigyzMined]

Preferences? (AMD or Intel, Radeon or Geforce) What games will you play? Any chance of recording or streaming in the future?

Does the budget include peripherals and an operating system?

[GarnetDevil]

Can you give us the location where you will buy your PC and do you need peripherals?

[ozziestig]

Um where do you live, that will help us (Linus Tech Tips community) recommend a system.

Also follow your own topic to see posts.

What games or other things do you want to do with it?  Would this price include monitor? If so would you want to put alot of money into the monitor by like getting a 1440p one, or a high refreshrate monitor? 

 

Do you care how big it is? Or what color it is?   Are you a silence freak??? Or do you just want to best of everything by getting what is possible on not going overboard on one thing?

Yep, you should have said you live in Denmark.

 

Euro or kr. ?

[Untouchable]

If you're a noob, then you shouldn't start with a $1500 gaming pc. Maybe a $700 or $1k, high end parts are often hard to put together.

How do you work that out ? The only thing that might be a bit more difficult is a water cooler over an air cooler. Otherwise parts are pretty much the same to install regardless of cost.

I've been gaming for 5 years, so im not looking for a entry gamer PC.

 

+ I want to get into hardware. And i need a new pc, so why not build my own instead of paying additional money to a website like cyberpowerpc.

+ I got some friends who knows a bit about, so i think im K

well we use DKK (Kr.)

 

but i think i'm just gonna take the parts you all suggest and buy them from danish sites.

 

Because we pay like 25% more for stuff here
