      Mate i was like you about 5 years ago. Here's a tip, save up any Christmas or job money you can and start off small. Then slowly upgrade stuff instead of doing it in one go. Don't bother with flash in the pan components or making it look good at first, just get the performance foundation. I started out with a shit HP desktop, I then transplanted it into a better matx case. I then added fans, a rx460 GPU, ssd, more ram etc. After that I realised my CPU was a bottleneck so I upgraded the shit HP mobo along with the CPU. Now I'm 17 I have a job and never thought I'd have an i5 7500 GTX 1060 g1 3g 8gb ram and rgb fans/peripherals in s340 elite tempered glass case. Next upgrade will be better CPU cooler and rgb strips. Also, the used market is your friend, try getting a good deal on a cheap GPU and a i5 2500k mobo ram combo. Then wack it in a cheap case to start or something.

    If you just want a pc that works, and don't have an interest in the hardware or want to complicate things, buy a prebuild.
    My first real gaming pc I got in 2009, it was prebuild and I loved it. With my new PC from 2016, I decided I wanted to try building it myself, so I could save some money, and gain some knowledge. I had a blast building it, but not everyone cares about the components, but just wants a pc that can play games.

    • @paulm2467
      @paulm2467 4 года назад +14

      Charlie G ideally you want your operating system (eg windows 10) and possibly a couple of your favourite games ( depending on the size of the ssd) on a separate small ssd and the bulk of your games, videos, photos etc. on a large ssd or hdd, you should also back files up regularly. Windows 10 will keep most of your drivers up to date but you'll probably need to update your motherboard and graphics card drivers when you first start. Paul's hardware has an excellent beginners series that takes you from part selection through to a full software installation and update.

    Nice one Marcus.
    Good option I always think for new starters that are nervous about full build is to buy a pre built that can have bits swapped out and as they get confident down the line can swap or add components to it. The slightly braver could get a mobo cpu memory bundle.

    I like having the customisation options you get with building your own PC. Maybe I want a Corsair power supply, an NZXT CPU cooler, a Fractal Designs case, a Gigabyte graphics card, an ASUS mother board, some Kingston ram, a Seagate HDD and a Samsung SSD. Good luck finding a prebuilt PC with that level of brand diversity.

I even broke the standoff mount for the CPU Cooler to my liquid AIO Cooler, and was very worried, however Overclockers UK were phenomenal in their customer support and sent me a replacement set :D.

      Cool. My PC is nothing special yet, in fact, just looking at my specs might actually make you pity me. I'm saving up about 500 dollars to build my own PC.
      This is what I have currently:
      PC Model: eMachines EL1358G
      CPU: AMD Athlon II X2 220 2.80GHz processor, dual core.
      RAM: 6GB
      Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GT 610 (MSI)
      Power Supply: 220W
      Monitor 1: 1360x786 resolution, connected with HDMI
      Monitor 2: 1280x1024 resolution, connected with VGA
      HDD: 500GB Seagate, came from an old HP computer running Vista.
      OS: Windows 10 Pro (x64)
      It's not very powerful, but for the games I really like playing on PC (TF2, TES 5, and GH3 mostly) it works decently. The problem is the power and the processor. They're pretty bad, and they severely limit what my graphics card can do. I bought the GT 610 without realizing it requires at least a 300W PSU, so a 220W PSU is one reason I feel like I have performance problems, along with my processor. The processor is the really weak part; I've noticed it going all the way up to 90% usage when running a game like TF2, resulting in anywhere from 30-50fps, occasional spikes with it dropping down to 15fps or lower at random. When I die though, it jumps up to 100fps :p

      NO. DO NOT DO THIS. HP and Dell and big OEM type manufacturers like that basically always use the absolute shittiest quality unbranded motherboards and power supplies that often, although not always blow out within 3 years. B4 I built systems I bought an HP 500-310a desktop and it was the worst computer I've ever owned, expensive, low spec and terrible quality. They do this so they can decrease the cost of the pc and in turn increase profit margins. If you HAVE to buy a pre-built, at least get one from a good system integrator like ibuypower (although even their PSUs are questionable). Build a system so you save some money, learn a new skill, build confidence in upgrading, and insure you are using quality parts.

      Bumbo Jumbo why? I wanna play games. If I want to build something, I would get a job building a PC. I don't give a shit about that. And guess what just as many people agree with me on this. Because everyone who buys a console is thinking the same thing. I'm here to play games and that's it. We only have so much time in our day and I would like to spend it playing games instead.

      You're pretty stupid, it's not hard to build a pc, it's like putting together lego. When you buy a pc, you are getting ripped off most of the time because prebuilts cost more than if you were to buy the exact same parts individually.

    I want to be able to stream and play Overwatch. Are there any pre-built PCs that can do that? Or would I need to build it on my own? And if so, which parts would I need?

    Since i live in hawaii and the shipping for each parts is 100 bucks and shipping for a custom prebuilt from ironside where i can pick my parts is also 100 bucks of shipping, should i buy ironside instead? (im planning to get a 1.5k Gaming Pc from ironside on black friday november)

    @thatoneguy779 5 лет назад

    I could do both but I'm scared to break it or mess up. I head there are cheap PC that are custom made and upgradeable for like 700$ but I'm not sure yet plus I dont know what parts I need and how to put them together.

      GAMING FEVER but the keyboard, mouse etc that come with those systems are real junk. Pay $1500 for something and the primary way you interact with it is junk then you miss out on part of the enjoyment of it.
