what i mainly want to know is

Processor 

Motherboard

Graphics cards 

RAM

Storage drives

Monitors

Power Supplys

This is the worst way to decide a PC. Location, budget? Used or new?

 

Besides the CPU, all of the others are just slight variations. I mean when you say GPU to you mean nvidia/amd or like different after market brands (gigabyte, msi etc)

well my town is small and in the country so lets say around $500 used and/or new would be fine

 

after market brands mostly

...what country

[RedAV8R]

Um...if you are starting a business, but don't know the players for components, your best business decision would be to hire somebody who knows what the heck they are doing.

This is a terrible way to choose parts but here's what most of my part lists look like: 

 

CPU: Intel

Motherboard: Asus 

Graphics card: Nvidia

RAM: Kingston, Corsair, or G.Skill

Storage: Samsung, Western Digital, or Seagate

psus are hard to categorize in best company, as its individual models, evga,seasonic seems to have alot of them as top tier tho, but yeah u cant rly compare brands on psus, it depends on their individual qualities

okay well thanks for giving your time to give me an answer

doesn't really matter honestly. you can always get unlucky with a part even if its the most expensive evga card. 

I have enjoyed zotac cards very much though a lot of people dislike them and consider them budget cards but they work well and have great customre service. considering amd/intel that's a whole other issue I don't wanna get into now^^

 

Finally for motherboards look up reviews for the exact model you want to get, there is just too much going on otherwise. Only brand I'd ever stay away from is Biostar but other than that you can really use what you want.

In that case, Seasonic and Superflower as even their bottom of the barrel PSUs are generally quite good.

seen msi boards quitting randomly, thus cant recommend msi ... even without oc,s... had 1mate that gone through 5msi boards in 1year time ( stock )

 

also why tag me? ;v

Processor; depends on task but for the most part I'd say intel.

Motherboard; I personally prefer gigabyte because I've had great experiences with the tech support team but it kind of doesn't really matter as long as it fits your needs. Right socket, ports etc.

Graphics cards; I personally like the EVGA ACX series as they're decently priced/perform pretty good thermally for the most part. For small form factors I'd choose zotac, kind of has no competition.

RAM; I think Kingston offers the best value/dollar whatever your currency but I prefer the looks of most corsair kits. RGB and whatnot.

Storage; kind of tough. Never really thought about that but I find myself using WD M.2/SSD/Hard drive combos a lot as they tend to be pretty reliable.

Monitor; would depend on usage but dell seems like a pretty solid option at this time. I'd say asus if you prefer high refresh rates over colour accuracy.

Power Supply; I always use the RMX series for my current builds due tot them being fairly decent in terms of price. Though I could probably just link you to the tier list as that is probably more helpful.

thanks for the detailed answer

[airdeano]

if you are to be building a business to build PC's you should already have this information in hand. yes?

 

not to be harsh, but if someone is bringing an idea of what they are needing, your first stop is to your supplier to compile the 'cost' list to arrive at a price point to present to the customer. you should already have the knowledge on what components are worthy of consideration and what ones are not. all companies/manufacturers have best in items and worst in items that should already be on your list. if you do not have this list, should you be taking money from people to assemble the components and have to warranty them if something does fail for a period of time? because once you involve money, you are now legally bound to some practices that you might not be familiar with.

cause you missed out on some stuff.

[ElZamo92]

These are my top picks:

CPU: AMD Ryzen (more threads make your PCs look more appealing to the general public)

MB: Gigabyte and Asrock (personally never had a problem with them + great bang4buck)

Grapphics card: Asus (they make great variants booth AMD and Nvidia GPUs)

Ram: I’ve used many brands, and the only difference I’ve noticed are the looks of the heat spreaders, but I usually buy Adata. 

Storage: Samsung SSDs and Hitachi hard drives. 

PSU: I’ve exclusively used Corsair PSUs, from very low end VS series to the high end RMi series and I haven’t had an issue in any of the dozens of PCs I’ve built for the past four years. I’d also recommend EVGA (bang4buck) and Seasonic (very good reputation). 

Monitors: I’ve liked my BenQ gaming monitors, but I love my non gaming Acer 4K monitor (it was only $250). 

[Virus__]

In my opinion.

 

Motherboards: ASUS, ASRock & Gigabyte

RAM: Kingston/HyperX (I think I have only ever used Kingston in my 15 years of building & using PC's)

GPU: EVGA, just for their awesome worldwide warranty if anything, and their designs aren't over the top & gamery looking.

SSD's has to be Samsung

HDD's Western Digital (never had a single issue with a WD drive, Seagate would be my runner up)

PSU's I like my current Corsair that is a solid little SFX PSU, likewise the Silverstone I have in my NAS. But my original 800W, 80+ Gold rated fully modular PSU from SuperFlower is still going strong 12 years on. Also EVGA do solid PSU's

Monitors, I think i'd have to go with Dell for non-gaming as their premium panels are just amazing.

[GDRRiley]

Corsair for RAM PSU, storage, peripherals

WD storage

ASUS, asrock GPU/Motherboards

 ASUS, BenQ and dell monitors

SeaSonic PSU

Logitech peripherals

I would have a mix of AMD and intel.

 

[Automobili3XF]

I'm going for:

CPUs - Intel and AMD;

Motherboards - ASRock and Gigabyte, imo;

Graphics cards - Nvidia for chips, Asus as an AIB partner;

RAM - G.Skill, SK Hynix, Samsung and Kingston;

Storage drives - Toshiba and HGST for HDDs, Samsung, SanDisk, Kingston and SK Hynix for SSDs

Monitors - ViewSonic, BenQ, LG, Samsung and AOC;

PSUs - Seasonic, Delta, AcBel (some models), FSP, higher ranked Corsair models, Silverstone, XFX (old, made by Seasonic), Riotoro (Enigma G2) and anything by Super Flower (btw, flower as in "airflow", not flower)

[LogicalDrm]

I would do this in reverse. It much easier to point brand I wouldn't never buy. Because when I started getting into custom PCs, Gigabyte was cheap trash brand. When I build my first custom (or upgraded), AsRock was cheap-o brand. And since then I've ruled out brands that I just don't trust or otherwise dislike. Corsair, Antec, some Thermaltake stuff, some AsRock stuff, some Gigabyte stuff etc. For CPUs you can't even make that definition. I've always went for what was best at the time. Meaning 2 Intels now while that old upgraded prebuild has still working AMD. I would say you can't go wrong with Asus and MSI, WD, Kingston and CM.
