Building a new PC

Blakebacher · April 25, 2018

So I’ve built a few PCs in the past but I’ve been using PCPartPicker to make sure everything is going to work okay. I really want to pick out my own parts from scratch without using the website but I don’t know enough about computers to understand what parts will work with each other. Does anyone know of any guides or videos that I could see to teach me how to pick out my own parts (All of the parts)? Let me know please and thank you! Also I’ve been buying my parts off Amazon and Newegg through PCPartPicker but sometimes I want a case that as quiet fans or RGB or different internals etc. Does anyone know where I can get basically any case or parts I want. I’ve never really looked on Newegg other than through PCPartPicker but will I find what I want from those sites if I drive deeper in them. Let me know of that as well please and thank you!

First is what is your budget? Intel or AND? How much ram you need? i3, i5, i7? CPU, GPU? What you going to use the computer for?

Amazon is a good place to start as well.

When I did my build in 2017, I paid for a kit with Motherboard z170-p. 32gb Ram and i7..

1. Budget?

2. Country?

3. What are your uses?

4. What do you prefer? Intel or AMD?

My budget is around $1300 US. I prefer Intel and would like an i7. I’m a web developer but I also like to game and edit videos once in a while. So it needs to do everything but it doesn’t have to be super good at one thing. I’m also looking for probably about 16GB of ram but upgradable later.
