PC Build...

[Jay_Beltran]

Hello, I am new here so here is my first post ....I don't have a PC never have owned one actually . Always been a laptop kind of guy, I want to get a PC..But idk how to build one nor do I know what parts r the best . Even if I wanted to build it I have 2 kids I take care of I'm always busy .. I heard of this website called NCIX that supposedly you pick your parts , case etc and they build for you for 50 bucks? Would anyone pick out parts for me.. My budget is 2,100 I want something strong that I can game on comfortably at Max settings maybe even 4k? ( I hav a 4k monitor) . Thanks! sorry for the bad english not my first language.

If you can build it yourself, that would be great, but if you want NCIX to build, you can usually find good combos. But unless you go with used parts (and thus build it yourself), you're not going to get 4K max settings. Also, what will you use it for and do you need a moue and keyboard?

Wait for pascal benchmarks to come out before buying anything

Thanks, for the fast reply man. Well I would love to build it myself but I have never done anything like this nor do I know what parts to get ..also I am a very busy guy so it sucks... But I would mainly use it for gaming , and regular browsing youtube, netflix , fb,twitter  etc.. Yes I have a keyboard and mouse

Ah, well new graphics cards come out now and then, and a week ago new ones were "unveiled" we are now all patiently waiting for "Benchmarks"

pascal is the new of the architecture in these new graphics cards

 

On 5-27-16 the abillity for the youtubers/reviews will be allowed to benchmark/review the cards

No worries, they are the new GPU's from nVidia, coming out in the next few months.

Speaking of just that, I wouldn't recommend this. Get a used GPU for now as new architectures from AMD and nVidia are coming very soon and Pascal will be phased out. Though you can try it and if you decide to wait sell it because they'll be out of stock after preorders.

Oh, wait I kind of get it now. Are you talking abut the 1080 and 1070?

Yes, and I think you shouldn't build right now. Wait a few months for all the new stuff. There's Pascal and Polaris for GPU's as well as Broadwell-E and Zen for CPU's really soon, so it would be a waste to build a PC right now.

6700k

MSI Gaming M5

EVGA Supernova 600w

GTX 1080 (maybe if it turns out to be good or a 980)

Corsair Silencio 650

212X evo

Not sure how much that would add up to but it should be within budget. If it isn't then go for a 6600k. If you have a lot more get an AIO cooler like Corsair H100i.

If you're just gaming or web browsing you don't need to wait on the Broadwell-E CPUs as those are 6+ cores which really can't be taken advantage of by most games however you also mentioned Zen so you could definitely wait on that to see what it brings but beyond that I would go for a 6700K or 6600K if you want to try overclocking or non-K if you don't want to try it since it's your first build. A 212X Evo is a great and cheap air cooler and easy to install. For motherboards you'll need one with a Z170 chipset for overclocking or H170 for non-overclocking boards but regardless 16GB+ of DDR4 is ideal. A seasonic PSU is the most ideal but there are several other good PSUs out there, I would aim for around 600 watts. Case is a bit more of a personal choice in terms of looks/color but if you get an ATX size board then you'll need a mid-tower or larger case for the most part. Beyond that you're pretty much just in need of a GPU which as others have said you should wait on for the AMD and Nvidia releases and benchmarks before choosing.

 

It sounds complicated and daunting at first but really if you have a good head on your shoulders and aren't afraid to ask questions or read a manual you can put it together in an hour at most. I understand wanting to have someone build it for you but it's always a great learning experience to do it yourself.

Thanks, for this man. I will wait for the pascal benchmarks on the new nvidia than I'll probably make a post again asking for help hehe BTW I forgot to add I also do alot of downloading on the computer if that helps

Doh! I knew I was forgetting something, storage! A good 950 or 850 Pro SSD for the OS and some programs, 240Gig or so, will do great and then a couple HDDs for mass storage.

Thanks, after the benchmarks for the new cards come out can I message you for help...?? Also has this released yet>>> 

      

The entire ASUS X99 Motherboard refresh for the upcoming Broadwell-E processors has been leaked. The new lineup includes several additions such as the ROG STRIX X99 Gaming, X99-Deluxe II, X99 A-II and X99 E which will be available to purchase later this month. The new motherboards will provide a ton of features to overclockers and enthusiasts who will be running Broadwell-E HEDT CPUs.

ASUS’s incredible X99 lineup for the next-gen Broadwell-E HEDT CPUs has been unveiled.

ASUS X99 Motherboards For Broadwell-E Unveiled – Flagship ROG STRIX X99 Gaming Detailed Along With Others

While Intel’s latest Broadwell-E processors will be able to work with existing X99 motherboards with a firmware update, board makers will also be launching new series and products with better features and support for the latest I/O, storage and connectivity capabilities. All new motherboards will be running the X99 chipset and feature the LGA 2011-v3 socket which will support Haswell-E and Broadwell-E processors.

The ROG STRIX X99 Gaming and X99 Deluxe-II motherboards are the beefiest designs from ASUS to date.

Some new features on the motherboards include RGB Lighting, expansion slots reinforcement and cooling management. RGB Lighting is becoming more and more common on motherboards and ASUS is following this trend on their latest products. The motherboards will feature several colors to select from and lighting effects to configure on the boards. For expansion slot reinforcement, ASUS uses a technology called Safe Slot which uses a metallic frame on each PCI-e expansion slot to adds more strength to the slot to prevent from any damage in the future. Following are the specs of ASUS’s new motherboards:

• ASUS ROG STRIX 99 Gaming
• ASUS X99-Deluxe II
• ASUS X99 A-II
• ASUS X99 E

Sure, you can always shoot me a message. Broadwell-E and the new X99 boards have not released yet, rumor has it that it will happen at Computex but nothing official from Intel has come out yet.
