Rejhon 0 Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I am going to build my first PC and plan to use it mainly for gaming. The PC on the market is more or less unsatisfactory. But I don't know much about it. If I want a high-end configuration, what should a game PC have? What are the requirements for components, formats and design? I really need your advice. Thank you a lot! Update: I have reviewed a lot of information recently. Many people have given me some useful suggestions. I have assembled my first game PC. This seems to be a difficult process. Maybe you have the same idea. I share a very detailed article about what the game PC should have. I look forward to discussing it together.

MyPa553ng3r 72 Posted February 21, 2019 First thing you need to settle on is a budget. Then I would look on https://pcpartpicker.com/, and compare your budget to what other's have built. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Indomitus 388 Posted February 21, 2019 (edited) I've never built one from scratch, but I have opened quite a few for repairs or upgrades. (I often joke that's why I never buy the warranty. I'll just void it anyway when I open the computer.) My part of the advice is don't forget about the workspace that you will need to assemble it. Make sure it's large enough, solid, stable, flat, clean, dry, well-ventilated, and that you have all the tools to do the job and protect the sensitive components. Don't use a bed or couch as a workspace, for example, because the cloth will build up static like mad. It's scary how quickly and easily one shock of static from a finger or elbow can ruin something.

MyPa553ng3r 72 Posted February 21, 2019 Good point. The second thing you should settle on is Case size. As a general rule, the larger the case, the more airflow, the cooler it can possibly run, the better it performs. Keeping it cool will become an issue before you plan for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted February 21, 2019 My Pc was first assembled in 2006 ! its still the " same " Pc ...( like the Maori axe ...has had 3 replacement heads and 5 replacement handles ..but still is the same axe ? ) When i first got it, it was " built" by my other half from rejects at a computer swap-meet. Other nerd gamers had upgraded and were selling at discount prices their superseded bits and we started off with a huge case ..that could accommodate a lot of stuff. The original cpu was an amd dual core ...bees knees for the day.! As a result , over the years in stages i have out in a new Motherboard, Intel i3 upgraded cpu ... added an external 2 Tb HD ...(inside the case!) beefier PS and a Nvidia 750 gtxi video card... plus other bits. Having all the room allowed for extra slots for things and also an additional fan for cooling. Getting to the stage though, where another upgrade will be needed .. but the $$$$'s have yet to be found... One day ? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Igor Q. 519 Posted February 22, 2019 My 2 cents to add is that if you are like me, try to get a quiet cooling system out of liquid or something. You can't imagine how annoying it can get if your PC fan is loud. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
