This summer, I'm planning on making a computer for the family but I don't know what parts I should use for it. All I know is gaming :) I was wondering what would be good parts for gaming (obviously), surfing the web, checking mail, doing projects, etc. If you have any suggestions can you please let me know!

Games but mainly everyday things you would do on a family computer

for the cpu i would recommend an intel g3258 unless it will have quite a few programs running at the same time

also, give me a few examples of games that would be played so we can get a better idea on which gpu to choose

Go for a midrange AMD APU, 8GB RAM and a decent modular power supply (like a 600W+).

 

That should be a fine build but if they're gonna be more intensive games up the CPU to some quad core CPU (something like an i3-6100 should do it because is hyper-threaded so technically it's a quad core) and get a GPU like a GTX 950 or something around that like a 750Ti :P just cos.

 

Good luck! PC building is so fun!

The problem is that this is an nVidia product and scoring any nVidia product a "zero" is also highly predictive of the number of nVidia products the reviewer will receive for review in the future.

Only yours, you don't shitpost on the same level that we can, mainly because this thread is finally dead and should be locked.

I wasn't wrong. It's extremely rare that I am. I provided sources as well. Different devs can disagree. Further, we now have confirmed discrepancy from Twitter about he use of the pre-release 1080 driver in AMD's demo despite the release 1080 driver having been out a week prior.

You apparently haven't seen his responses to questions on YouTube. He is very condescending and aggressive in his comments with which there is little justification. He acts totally different in his videos. I don't necessarily care for this content style and there is nothing really unique about him or his channel. His endless dick jokes and toilet humor are annoying as well.

I would be doing some games but it's for the family so something like a Mac or dell on steroids

80+ ratings certify electrical efficiency. Not quality.
