Hello everyone!

 

I just discover Linus"everything"  this year and find it very fun.
 

I am looking to buy/ build/ both? a new tower.

I am also looking to keep cost minimal as I can, because Frugal is a good thing.
I am trying to compile a shot list on different components, for this PC to be.  :)


I am looking for medium gaming and medium to strong content ability
Gaming: 1080p also I have 3 monitors which might be cool to use on some games: Games: Rocket League, Overwatch, PUBG, Outpost Games-SOS, GW2, Fortnight.  I have a GTX 1050 ti. (open to suggestions)
Content: Video & Audio editing, Audio recording and Music in general

 

What I have:

UserBenchmarks: Game: 44% / Desk: 54% / Work: 38%
CPU: Intel Core i5-4430 - 63.8%
GPU: Nvidia GTX 1050 Ti - 43.3%
SSD: Sandisk S128G 126GB - 36.5%
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB - 94.9%

So I take it that you feel my GPU is sufficient?

I also have a question about GPU's like 1050, 1070, 1080 "Ti"  why are they better?  Are they better?  is the difference just that you can specifically overclock it?

The difference between the normal version and the "Ti" version is generally more GPU cores, more video memory, and better performance. The 1060 6Gb variant is more of a 1060Ti, since it has more cores and vram than a 1060 3Gb.

 

I hope that answers your question, I was actually going to put a 1050Ti on the part list before remembering you had one listed haha

So when I said frugal I might have misspoke...
Building a PC seems expensive now and buying one seems to be an easy way to spend less and get a lot of what I am looking for. 

From there I can then upgrade a few components as needed. 

This is my Guess as to get a good PC.

I am thinking: 
i5 or i7(7th or 8th gen maybe 6th)  or i3?  I am looking into it not sure what the real difference is between them besides power useage and maybe robustness 

16GB minimum RAM also like the idea of ECC? I think it make s it better correct>  idk know if it worth it or even a valuable option
SSD PCI or M.2 or regular sata  why which one  cost/performance

MBD how to chose it-it seems I should want to know what I want to put on it before having it....but again if I can buy a tower built already for a good price and then just add a couple components

 


I am trying to keep  under $700.  I have ideas but I ma not a tech guy.  So yeah that's my desired short list kind of thing.

 

SO i can Map together a PC of a quality I think I want need. lol
