Hello everyone! I really need your help to build a PC for around 1,000$ - 1,200$.I need 8GB RAM with 2133 or 2400 Mhz,because I don't open a lot of softwares at the same time, therefore i don't need a lot of RAM.The main goal of my PC is just to play sometimes games like:

Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon: Wildlands

MASS EFFECT™: ANDROMEDA

  and so on.So my questions are:

What CPU should I buy?I heard i7 is better than Ryzen for gaming and it's a bit expensive,but it's worth.Also I heard Intel CPU + NVIDIA GPU is better than Intel CPU + AMD GPU (Intel + NVIDIA are compatible).
What Motherboard should I buy? I have 0 knowledge about motherboards,so i need you guys to help me about that.

What video card should I buy?I really don't need video cards like GTX 1080,it's just too much for me.I believe there are way cheaper video cards which are good enough to run games from 2k16 or 2k17.

About cooling system,I heard Cooler Master is big deal since it's cheap and good at the same time.Also I will buy SSD,because I heard PCs are way faster if they have SSD.

About Sound card/HDD/Power supply,I really have no idea!

that's a myth. an AMD GPU will work just fine with intel CPUs and nvidia cards will run on AMD CPUs.

i recommend the 1050ti - sadly, there is almost nothing left between the 1050ti and 1080 that is not overpriced or out of stock right now. if you can find a 6gb 1060 for a good price then take it. or buy a used 980.

 

finding 1060/1070 equivalent AMD cards for a good price is almost impossible at the moment.

-Ryzen 7 is worse than i7 for gaming, yes, but ATM I consider Ryzen 5 better than i5 for gaming

-Intel CPU+Nvidia GPU being "more compatible" is completely false

-For cooler master you just hear of them because of the 212 evo, which isn't really worth buying anymore.

 

I'll try making up a list right now.

Make sure to quote me or tag me when responding to me, or I might not know you replied! Examples:

 

Do this:

And make sure you do it by hitting the quote button at the bottom left of my post, and not the one inside the editor!

Or this:

@DocSwag

 

Buy whatever product is best for you, not what product is "best" for the market.

 

Interested in computer architecture? Still in middle or high school? P.M. me!

 

I love computer hardware and feel free to ask me anything about that (or phones). I especially like SSDs. But please do not ask me anything about Networking, programming, command line stuff, or any relatively hard software stuff. I know next to nothing about that.

About Sound card/HDD/Power supply,I really have no idea!

I would go with Ryzen at this point, maybe a Ryzen 3 or Ryzen 5. It is cheaper.

Go with an overclockable board as you may not start overclocking right away but that way you can start when you feel ready.

Me personally I would get a used card like a 980ti or a used 1070, it will be cheaper in the long run. I have a GTX 980 and it runs GTA on highest settings at 70+ fps and higher most times (that is with FXAA [or MSAA I can't remember] on x8).

For the CPU cooler just go with the stock cooler then when you want to overclock get a beefier cooler.

Go with nzxt for 120mm or 140mm fans since you're just starting out, they are pretty quite but not noctua quite. Case wise, go with any case that fits your style. Make a list of what you need and then a list of what you want. Most of the time you don't need that $150 ATX Full Tower, (rookie mistake I made). There is nothing wrong with MATX and a smaller case.

For storage I would do a 1tb hdd and leave it at that. If you really want an ssd than get a 240gb ssd and the 1tb hdd. You don't need a sound card, and get a 80 Plus Gold power supply. PCPARTPICKER is your friend.

Instructions for frustration management:  

1) Sit at desk.   2) Repeatedly slam forehead against desk.

 

I never said I was smart, just smart enough to be dangerous.
