i am lost

[Galette]

Hi,

(first i am sorry for my english, i hope you will understand it and really thank you for the time you give to me)

i come here because i am lost i d'ont know what to do,

I want a new computer don't have real limit but thats not the point.

I am here because i want some advices and what i should do.

I first wanted to take an "already build computer"( don't know how to say this in good english) an OMEN X or ORG 51 or alienware are 51 etc. But i start to look on some siteweb and youtube for the composent and build i saw that it is possible to do better for the same cost. But the point is that i never build a single computer, i look to of video this week but i am lost, the most terrible part is i am fear of breaking component during the build, or with the cable, and instalating the diffrent software. Then i saw that it is possible to ask some site web (in france) where you choose  the component  and they build the pc for you. But i don't know if i can trust them. i don't know if the computer is going to work, if they really put the think that i ask in etc.

SO what you guys recommanded to me to do?

should i buy an already build pc, make it by myself, or ask to someone else to build it?

 

Really ty for the help

Build it yourself

 

[Droidbot]

Build it yourself

OR

 

get a machine from a place like LDLC (http://www.ldlc.com, big retailer - had their own CSGO team at one point)

lots of prebuilds are do not cost that much more as people make it sound like.

 

building it yourself is very easy, you can follow any guide of your favorite youtuber and you will not break anything. The only problem with building it yourself is if something is DOA or dies later, you need to troubleshoot and RMA it yourself. 

 

I'd not suggest asking someone to build it for you because I dont think they will offer a good warranty and will cost about the same as a prebuilt system

Building a pc is not as hard as it looks. There's a lot of really easy to follow videos on YouTube, with step by step instructions that show everything you have to do.

 

It's definitely cheaper to build one yourself, and you may feel more accomplished once you're done. You can also pick the exact parts you like, which is nice.

 

If you're feeling a bit unsure, maybe ask someone to give you a hand, like a friend or family member who's good with computers.

 

If you don't know what parts you need, open a topic in the 'New builds and planning' forum, tell us what you want to use it for and how much money you want to spend, and a lot of people will give suggestions on what parts to buy.

Build it yourself because some people like to be like "Hey,I can build you a computer with ..... for €1000 while the computer itself is for €500 and they take the cost of the computer itself to build it .And a Manufacturer will say "We give you a warranty,but if you violate it by adding anything to the system by yourself,we cannot do anything" and they charge you for upgrades and repairs,while the motherboard,cpu,ram,case,psu,the warranty is yours since those parts are ment for a new build and its a seperate warranty for each computer part (if there is any) and building the computer yourself,adding anything,playing with it wont violate any warranty at all,except if you violate the warranty by taking each individual part to its bare potentail,like removing the cooler off of a GPU,etc.Best to build it yourself,or i call it BIY .The Value of a Prebuilt computer is no better than a custom built,actually the prebuilt's value is less.

[Gaurav S Rao]

OEM software might seem a cheeper option,it is not transferable like how retail,software that you buy from the store is.That is the reason why OEM's get software like Windows For Cheap,they add more bloatware,so the bloatware maker provides them with money and they use the money,on software and computer's while not the same for a normal-custom-build.You get what you want.A OEM core 2 duo dell would be worth €5 while a custom build with less specs is still €10

Dont apologize being shit at english. everyone on every continent and island speaks and writes english like pigs. English is probably the only language in the world where it is acceptable to butcher pronunciation and spelling. The words you are looking for are pre-built or OEM (original equipment manufacturer)

make a new post stating your budget and your use case (gaming, software development, video editing, facebook & cat videos, etc). go to pc part picker and start something and put a link back to your post. This forum is the right place in the internet for buying advice.

 

for building look up LTT and jazy2cents videos, they are very good quality and will give buying and building advice.

I only have one advice to share and that is:

in electronics do not force anything, all components are very well engineered to standards and they should slide easy like lego.

EDIT - when mentioning prices please put in the currency, its quite annoying to have to guess what dollar you are working with

but what about the sofware (don't know if is it the good word... ) like windows, because on my build there is no cd reader: my build is that for the moment:

then i will go for SLI and buy more ram

Always build it yourself.

Or if you are afraid to do so, pay someone to build it for you.

In my country we have website where you can select all the components that you want and for additional 30€, they will build it for you.

It's great way to get custom PC, without having any experiences of building PCs.

 

But yeah .... building normal PC is pretty straight forward and easy task. Building custom water loops ... well there things get more interesting. But still not that hard after you spend hours and hours working on it. Every next time it becomes easier.

OVERKILLLLL

[aithos]

I will second what everyone else is saying: build it yourself.  As long as you take your time and follow the diagrams for where things plug in there is very little chance of you messing up or damaging your components.  Just make sure to periodically touch a metal part of the case to ground yourself and if you have questions look up guides on YouTube before proceeding, it doesn't matter if it takes you two hours or ten once it's up and running. 

 

For parts: it all comes down to what you're doing and what your budget is.  If you aren't doing a lot of gaming or otherwise intensive work (audio/video creation, 3D modeling, virtualization, etc) then you don't need top of the line components.  Also, if you aren't planning to overclock then buying the unlocked CPU and an enthusiast motherboard is overkill.  You don't gain better performance paying for a $300 motherboard, you just gain additional features for advanced users.

 

Other notes if you intend to game:

- Intel CPUs are the better choice overall for gaming performance/money

- GPU is completely preference but I'm a big fan of EVGA so I buy nVidia cards

- Take what you "need" for storage and double it

- Invest in a good 1440p gaming monitor with 120hz+ and ULMB like the Asus PG279Q

 

If you have any specific questions let me know.  Good luck!

 

edit: for software... download a windows installer and all your drivers onto a USB thumbdrive before you put your PC together.  You will want to make sure you have LAN drivers, Raid drivers, USB drivers, and SSD drivers just in case they aren't auto-detected.  You should be able to find a guide to how to install without an optical drive pretty easily.
