Looking for a new PC (need help) 6 years 6 months ago #735258

Hey everyone!

I am tired of using my bad performing laptop and would like to upgrade to a proper Gaming PC. I was wondering if anyone is any good at finding deals on parts etc and specifications of what is good and also not too expensive.

If you want to contact me with info about anything then my steam profile is linked in my signature pictures and I am online on the ZARP TeamSpeak server quite a lot.

I would appreciate and guidance/feedback as I would like to get this done ASAP (preferably within the next couple of weeks).

By the way I know somewhere I can get it built so that won't be too much of a problem.

For the time being I'd recommend using a cfg to boost fps and such in-game

Made a quick list: pcpartpicker.com/list/6B9Mjc

If you're willing to spend a little more then I would recommend to get a ssd for quick booting and a GTX 1060.

that's only 800 dollars, so if you add a small ssd and upgrade to a gtx 1060 it should be £800, this is very very good i like

if you cant afford a small SSD and upgrade to gtx 1060 with this, just get 8gb of ram instead, but make sure its ddr4-3000+, you need that for ryzen

you'll also need to buy Windows but you can grab that for £30 at reddit.com/r/microsoftsoftwareswap/

I notice the case is quite expensive. Is there any way it could be a bit cheaper?

Thanks a lot for the list though!

Do you also have any good monitor suggestions?

What id suggest is if you want it cheap get some semi decent parts and upgrade to better parts every so often.

That moment when my graphics card is £50 less than your entire PC...
On a serious note. You can cheap out on the case as long as it's from a decent brand and not a Chinese manufacturer, had a mate who bought a Chinese case and couldn't read the front IO connectors to plug them onto his motherboard. NZXT or Phanteks are good for cases and are quite cheap aswell.
