new to building computers

[frostgt]

Okay so I have always play Xbox and i started following linustech on facebook and i'm wanting to build a computer to play any and all games that i want. run at least two screens very much in to music. so i will need a lot of memory would also like a pretty good amount of ram. but i'm lost when it comes to finding out what all i need. wanting to do water cooling and make it look really nice. thinking about the ictable but not sure yet. any help would be awesome

Depends, AMD CPUs have lots of threads. And thats not bad, but games use only about 4 threads. Also AMDs CPUs often cost less.

 

Intel is little more expensive but focus more on games and will get you about and extra 30-40fps in most games (depends).

 

I like AMD the most because I use it for streaming, and it's awesome om gaming

(Ryzen 1600X)
