It is a more appropriate question for there. Post it there and you'll get actual advice you can use. There's even threads about 'how to build your own rig' available.

>>735124622
Do you care about cost or nah?

>>735125211
To an extent, I can deal with cost as long as it isnt outrageously pricy.

Mac Pro is best gaming pro.

>>735124622
Get 16 gb of ddr4 ram, gtx 1080 ti, Intel i7 processor, and msi motherboard about $1,800 to $2000 So yeah

>>735125436
Top Zozzle.

>>735125586
That, as cheap as ddr3 may be now, getting ddr4 would be a far better bet long term, gtx 1080ti's are sweet but expensive, same with i7's, but if you want to go all out those'd be the way to go

>>735124622
Make sure to use Windows 2000, it's the best operating system

Truth. pC market is dead. Everything's on iTunes and App Store. And graphics and rendering are faster and better is stupid iOS10.

PC fags will argue cuz they can't affords the apple.

>>735125586
Pretty much this.
You don't need a 1080 ti for normie gaming though.
A 1070 will do just fine for like half the cost.

Your bait game is weak. Work on it anon

I think you should get an r5 1600 or r5 1500x if you wanna save on cost. For the motherboard, who gives a crap? Just get any motherboard that is reasonably priced. GPU, perhaps gtx 1070, or gtx 1060 or rx 480. Go for 1070 if you want king like experience. Get 16 gb of ddr4 ram. You'll also need a powersupply, case (if you're not a peasant), and optical drive (depending on the case.) Should cost about $700-$1000 depending on where and what you buy

>>735124989

Couldn't agree more. Too many people overlook this on their first build.

>>735126396
>optical drive
Only if you want to use it for office work.
I haven't used an optical drive in almost 2 years.
I know it costs next to nothing. But if you're looking at prebuilds, don't discount PC's that don't have one.

Bought a BEAST at ibuypower.com many years ago that I still use. It was the Bleeding Edge of tech bsck then. Now only a minor machine.

They have a couple of configurators that will at least give you some ideas on what hardware to get.

If you do decide to let them build you one, I will say I was very happy with my purchase. Definitely got my moneys worth.

Also, PC magazine usually has an article at least once a year of gaming builds at various budgets. You should chrck it out.

>>735127325
Might as well go to your local microcenter and ask them to build you something.

Trips of truth

>>735127533
By letting ibuypower.com build mine, I spent maybe $250 over cost of parts and got a professional build with a warranty that was burned in and benchmarked. It was worth it. That was back in 2007. I still use it as a media pc, since new games would kill it, but when it was new it was a monster. That it is still usable ten years later is a testament to build quality.

If you want a cheap gaming setup id get AMD, if you want a good set up stick with intel... AMD is significantly cheaper and seems to offer more cores and faster speed for the price... however intel is a shit ton better with evening out cores so you don't have 1 core maxed with no other cores being used... intel also has multi threading... but if your looking for a cheap build o recommend a AMD 8 core processor it's approx 140 dollars...

Who builds pcs anymore! Just buy a new one every year.

>>735125765
Fuck all that. Get a bugger pile of the cheaper RAM, Fuck the GTX and drop $400 on a Quadro, and get a fast i5 and save yourself a ton of cash for slightly less performance. You're just shitposting with it anyways.

>>735124622
Do's: Keep that shit dust free and manage your cables. Buy a modular PSU to make the cable management easier.

Don't's: Install your PSU upside down, sending a power surge through your mobo and frying it in addition to your GPU

>>735124622
A cheap sli or crossfire configuration is worlds better than a single expensive graphics card.
SSD's aren't worth the money, and definitely make sure you have enough for a good to great ODD, because those are actually really important. Don't worry too much about air flow, one fan is literally enough.

>>735128624
30 fps is more cinematic also

Don't be a fag. Get an grown-up case. I like the Antec Sonata. Get an Asus mobo for like 100-150. Whatever chip you like, but you don't need to go broke on some i7 bullshit. Actually add up your power requirements and get a PSU thats larger for more drives or whatever in the future. Get a *decent* nVidia card. Don't break the fucking bank. You can get this shit for well under $1k and have a machine that'll last a few years, obsoletion-wise.

Yeah. when you apply thermal paste, apply it in scattered dots. Also push>pull

>scattered dots
Never seen that one. I just scrape it on there with a credit card like the instructions tell you.

What is push>pull?

>>735130662
I've heard to do a thin X apparently it's better for pushing air out so as to not leave bubbles.

IF hes talking fans a fan pushing air through a heatsink is more efficient than a fan pulling air through

>>735124622
didju a favor OP

$781 total
i5-7600K 240
msi mortar z270m 105
geil 2x8gb DDR4 2400 104
EVGA GTX 1060 3GB 180

120gb adata SSD 54
1TB WD Blue HD 50

500W Cooler Master PSU 35
Xion 310 Case 23
AC Freezer 7 Pro 20


Total: $811, free 2 day shipping with shoprunner on most stuff, few bucks for the rest, $10 off with code EMCRGRC29 brings it to $801, minus $20 mail in rebates = $781

in the end, u have a pc with one of the nicest quad core processors on the market, a very good cpu cooler, 16gb of ddr4 2400 ram, a mobo with a very nice bios setup, plenty of storage, an entry level ssd for fast loading and cache, a power supply by a decent manufacturer with a warranty, and a graphics card thats definitely good enough to play just about anything you throw at it for the next year or two.

it will last a VERY long time with periodic graphics upgrades.

the case is a piece of shit, just saying. spend more if you want, but functionally it will work just as well as the next. if you have cash to blow and want something different, hop on aliexpress and look at the jonsbo cases. no optical drive, very sleek.

thats my 2 cents for a good mid level pc build.

>>735128306
A fucking Quadro? Why? A $400 Quadro is going to be using ancient architecture. I don't think you quite understand what a Quadro is.

>>735130662
strictly speaking, fans are more efficient at pulling than pushing. thats why car fans are behind the radiator and not in front of it.

but for air cooled pc's the best setup really isnt the way most are made. most pc's have a fan in the back blowing hot air out of the case, and maybe one in the front. the problem is dust.

the best setup would be to have as many fans as possible drawing air through filters into the case. no exhaust fans would really be necessary; the air would take the path of least resistance out the vents. this creates positive pressure and keeps the inside of the case clean, which is the biggest enemy of cooling (dust)

>>735128624
SSD's ARE worth the money. A 120GB SSD will run you $60. Faster boot times, all round smoothness and games load faster. SSD's are almost a neccisity these days.

Rule #1 on building your own PC: do not buy a case with windows or LEDs in it unless you are 14 years old.

lol ok guys
to each his own
the only things you could criticize are processor and graphics choice, so dont act like its all bad even if you prefer amd.

but this is a solid build, the 7600k is one of the most popular intel processors, and at a reasonable price will do everything op wants.

ditto for the graphics card.

I'm not really a reference in this domain... but the nearest tech shop sells this Omen crap and i'm tempted as shit to buy it as soon as there's a discount on it.

Right now it's 1700$ CAD and I'm aiming for it to lower to 1200$ / 1500$ range.

Get a custom prebuilt, I got mine from Syber. It only costs a few hundred more than if you do it yourself, with no risk

Get a 1070, and 16 gb ram. An i7 isn't necessary unless you do shit like 4K resolution GameCube emulation
