So I've been looking for parts for my first gaming pc and have been asking around in a couple different forums. I was eventually given a parts list that fit in my budget. [Minimum post requirement for links]
I later posted this parts list on a different forum with some questions about the case and the responder gave me his edited version of the list with his own recommendations. [Minimum post requirement for links] My question is which one of these is the better version and why? I don't know much about pc hardware so I don't really know what difference these changes are going to make on the performance. I'll post the forum links below.

Requesting a list of parts If you don't answer these questions, we will post them or refer you back to this post. What is your budget and currency? What will you use the PC for? Do you need a monitor? If not, what monitor(s) will you be using? Do you need a keyboard, mouse, or other peripherals? Do you need an operating system? Will you overclock? Anything else we should know? For starters your PCPartPicker lists are not showing. Secondly when it comes to your prior thread... what kind of mods are you speaking of? Skyrim Mods? Minecraft mods? Fallout Mods? Regardless truly of what kind though, that reality lies entirely based on your CPU and GPU and some cases even RAM and depending on your amount of patience SSD vs HDD. Factors would be, size of mod, amount of changes to actual game, rendering ability, loading power, etc. You're not going to be playing skyrim with 200+ mods and 4K textures with a 2700X and a 1660, and if you tried it you'd be lucky not to BSOD or crash prior to the load. Assuming this one of your builds as it was linked to your threads Biggest things I can say when it comes to building a PC is: 1. Never cheap out on your Power Supply Unit (PSU). Always go full modular, always get an 80+ Bronze or better, and always get something 150+ watts higher than what your PCPartPicker list says would be expected, this way you have yourself higher on the efficiency curve and have room to upgrade. 2. Always consider the USB port amount and the devices you have/want. (I genuinely could never use something with less than 8 USB ports and never use my front IO because looks.) 3. Watch a ton of benchmark videos on youtube, there's millions. Your combo of CPU, monitor res and GPU is there. Look at 5 minimum and consider other GPUs/CPUs. 4. Deeply consider exactly what kind of screen you're looking at. IPS and VA have the best in color and resolution, but the worst in refresh rates. Yet, TN while horrible in color, have the best refresh rates. Playing XBOX 1/PS4 games you're locked into 30FPS and upscaled 4K. Seeing and playing actual 4K games at 60FPS is a MAJOR difference. Even more of a difference with 1080p at 120, 144, or 240 FPS. Monitor choice essentially boils down to, do you want an incredible resolution but choppy game or an incredibly smooth game at a lower resolution? (I stick to 1440p at 144 FPS.) 5. Always consider your PC Case Size. Want to upgrade a mini case with a 2080 Ti? Good luck fitting that huge thing in! Want a 240 radiator for your new CPU but don't have any way to get it in? Oof. |
