    One of life's cruelest tricks is letting you slowly go up the product stacks over the years, until you finally reach the top where you can play everything at the highest possible frame rates, but then you don't have time for games anymore because you're a dad with a full-time job 😔

    I can't help but notice that for many gamers the 'last' and still as important thing is audio. Don't forget to save budget for some nice sound whether it be speakers or a headphone/headset setup. This makes many RPG games more immersive and give you an edge in the e-sports titles by hearing your enemy before seeing them.

      Hey there! As a fellow tech enthusiast, I highly recommend considering the HOTO Compressed Air Capsule for keeping your gaming setup clean and dust-free. It offers powerful vacuuming and blowing capabilities, making it perfect for maintaining a spotless environment. Plus, it's compact and versatile, allowing you to clean even the tightest spaces. Give it a shot and let me know how it works for you! 😄

    What I want from a new gaming pc:
    - 5 years worth of future proofing, i.e. being able to play new games for that time at decent settings.
    - good consistent framerate and latency
    - I want the RGB case behind you that does tetris. I think its very nice aesthetically if your tower is colourful like that.
    Nothing else really matters.

    The biggest thing I learned is that if you buy the right PC, you will get an amazing pc for gaming and productivity and media consumption scenarios. I was going to buy a console and a new PC in 2021 and ended up buying a Corsair Pre Build with a Ryzen 7 5800X and RTX 3070 instead of two different devices. I added a 2TB SSD and memory to upgrade it to 32GB. I've got two devices in one - an amazing device to build content and work from - and play games. I wasn't focused on FPS - just wanted to play Flight Simulator. F1, and some other games. It feels like driving a ferrari every day when I work from it!

    Am in the process of building a new PC. I reckon the whole build will cost me about £1630(unless there is a sale or something) and that is before I even think about adding a graphics card and a monitor, that could add another £700-ish(depends on what monitor I choose to buy or I could just continue to use my TV as a monitor) to the cost. With a graphics card I am looking at the best part of £2000 and I already spent about £400 on case, motherboard and PSU. About to spend in a month £640 on some fans, CPU, cable extensions and other stuff. Still need to spend after that £600 on memory, NVMe drive, more fans and Windows 11.

    Mboard - msi meg x570s ace max or (x570s master 4x m.2 drives)
    Cpu- R9 5950x or 5900x
    GPU - 3080ti

    Hdd - 4tb seagate barracuda sata
    SSD - samsung 980 pro 2tb
    Ram - corsair vengance 32gb lpx/rgb or 3600mhz cl16 crucial balistix
    Case - y60 in white

    I would suggest to always go for the best bang for buck. Splurging on high end hardware will probably make you feel stupid when you see all your hardware being sold for a lot less a few months later.

    • @Arcaryon
      @Arcaryon ปีที่แล้ว

      Imo. a big question is if you can reliably plan on upgrading a lot later. The best thing about a PC is that it’s flexible but the worst is that the markets for the products are often extremely volatile and with there being so many variants that can go wrong, often, this is what happens.
      I think it’s good not to cheap out IF one plans to using the system a lot because it can seriously make one’s life a lot better if the system is not just decent enough but absolutely stable 100% of the time but overspending is a serious concern and patience is a virtue. Also, being overly cautious is not enjoyable because whenever you buy, a few months later, the current big thing is cheaper and this can spiral into constantly looking into upgrading. If one drops say, 2500$ on a full tower ( far from cheap it also far from totally outrageous) and plans on using it at least for, say, 5 years with minimal changes, that’s 500 / year which is pretty alright. If one however purchases for say, 1500$ which is perfectly reasonable but then upgrades twice for “just” 500, one is already at 2500$ again.
      Not to mention that due to inflation, this can mean that one can end up getting the same system despite paying the same price one could have paid initially, if one gets unlucky or one has to wait for a long time for prices to drop again.
      Overall, I think getting the timing just right in terms of one’s personal patience and the market is therefore perhaps the most important thing, aside from knowing what one actually needs.

    I heard part prices are coming down some. Currently have an M17R4 with a 3070 laptop. If prices continue to come down I’d deff build a stationary rig. Then eventually upgrade my laptop and just game off those two.

    Have been playing on a vr headset with a resolution of 7680x4320 mini led displays for 2 days now and its amazing it even looks better than a 8k tv because it has an insane pixel density of 70ppd wich is higher than all 8k tv’s its like looking through glass its also verry easy to run because it has eye tracking wich makes foveated rendering possible. It tracks your eyes and only makes the part of the screen Sharp where you are looking and the rest gets blurred out i dont notice any blurry stuff. I can run every game on a stable 90-120fps max settings with a 3090 ti

    Don't cheap out on a power supply. Before buying components, list out the TDP of every component and add them. Then add about 100 - 150 watts extra to the total TDP and buy a power supply accordingly. If you are on budget, modular doesn't make sense, go for non modular but from a good brand like coolermaster, evga Asus or Corsair. Do your research before buying. But again DONT CHEAP OUT ON POWER SUPPLY OR YOU MIGHT SEE YOUR PC ON FIRE MID-GAME.

    2:17 It's not called 4K because it's 4 times 1080p. It's because horizontally there is 3840 px which rounds to 4K. 1080 is 2K because the horizontal pixel count is 1920 which rounds to 2K. 1440p has 2560 px horizontally, which could be called 2.5K

    I mean, I have a perfectly good 1080p 60hz TV and monitor that I still want to use; I’m completely satisfied with still using those as displays for my eventual first build. So I feel that getting an i5-11400F with a 3060 Ti is gonna be perfect for me.
    EDIT: A lot of the replies are saying to go above 1080p 60hz. I certainly will at some point, but keep in mind that nearly all of my gaming experiences were on consoles. I guess I’m so used to 1080p60fps that I haven’t even thought about resolutions and framerates beyond that. But I guess my eyes will be opened soon enough. It would be cool to have a triple monitor setup.

    If you're going to only play games, and you're in a budget, just get an i3 12100f with DDR4 and the best GPU you could... probably a 3060 is more than enough.
    If you're going for rendering or something like that too, get a Ryzen 5 5500 and the best GPU that your budget could.
    Also, if you've budget for a 144hz+ monitor or a 1440p+ monitor, you also probably have the budget for something like a 3070Ti or higher, so probably also an 12700F or 5900X.
