Building a PC Advice?

[TheViriathus]

Hi everyone. I am new to this site and to LinusTechTips in general. I would like some advice on how to build a high end gaming PC (I'm a complete noob), and what I should look out for as well as things to avoid and companies that are trustworthy for parts etc. Any advice would really help me. Thanks

Well just incase ya dont know 

 

> Make sure all components are compatible 

> Make sure there within your budget 

> Dont Rush it Take your time 

> have fun 

 

if your still stuck look at linus indepth Build Guides on pc;s where he goes step by step on how to build them 

 

what i find usefull for pricing & compatability is https://pcpartpicker.com/list/

use pcpartpicker (pcpartpicker.com)

Here is a nice build: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Tylerebowers/saved/#view=n2vXsY

that's way over budget for 95% of the people though, try making some more reasonable options

generalities are a lot more difficult to answer than specific questions. If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask here on the forums. As far as parts go, your choice for CPU will  be limited to AMD or Intel. Look into both options, see what fits your budged (what is your budget BTW). Generally AMD offers better cheap CPUS while Intel offers better higher end CPUs. As far as motherboard goes, i would recommend Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, or EVGA. You can try Asrock too, but i have never used one of there mobos so i cannot vouch for it. As far as GPU goes, determine the chipset first; do you want an AMD GPU or a NVidia GPU. I would buy the most current generation, and buy it with an aftermarket coolers. I would recommend an EVGA sc editon card, or an asus strix or MSI. Other brands are good, but those three i have used and have worked very well for the price. That is the most basic questions that people have. If recommend going to the new builds section of the forums and posting your budget, your uses, your region, etc, and they will spit out a parts list for you.

He wanted "high-end"

high-end can also mean 1000-1300$

Try out XFX they worked out for me, its a good add to the mix

Why the hell do you have a 1000$ GPU there, try out something more logical, like a 1080 or something

even then. There are better components you can buy for less money. the CPU and memory are fine. The CPU cooler is fine, but in the $2100 range you really should have something a little more substantial. the motherboard is a personal choice so if someone wants the M5 then its fine too. But a 1TB SSD isn't really sensible (although if someone has the money, I suppose its not a terrible idea). the Titan X is a bad idea, as a gtx 1080 will out perform it and cost much less. there are better cases on the market for less money (although again that one is a personal choice, if they REALLY want that case they can get it) and the PSU is overpriced for what it provides.

 

You could build a better computer for less money. There is no good reason to get that build.

Wait for the RX Fury and RX Fury X (I think thats what they are called) then try another build. I see some potentail in that one already.

Well I'd have to research performance but I meant 1 1080, thats enough for nearly everything for 2/3 years ahead

Thats fine, but don't be linking it to someone who is a "complete noob" (his words not mine). He will not understand why that system is bad or wasteful and may be inclined to get it or some of the not-so-great parts on that list (like the GPU and PSU).

You should start by determining your budget. Like bgibbz wrote, if you post it here, it will be way easier to narrow down good components for you.

That is not at all a nice build. He could get the same performance for like 500$ less, and that is overkill performance for just about every use case.

Thanks. I guess I would have a budget of about 1500 but again I do not know if that is enough for a good one. I just want to be able to handle titles like battlefield1 on maxed out settings and probably use it to edit and upload to YouTube as well.

I really am a complete noob lol. I have no idea what goes into a good PC
