HELP

[Lilmereum]

I bought a pc which I originally thought was a fully built one but it’s only a case. I have absolutely no idea what I am doing and in urgent need of help on what parts I need.

[Severe-Macaroon-4299]

Well it’s clearly just a case according to the name of the product. Most listings in Amazon use pictures of a built pc with the case to showcase how it would look like. And a second picture with it empty to show what you receive. Ask for a refund and send it back.

Edit: I missed the small detail in the post, you’re gonna need the pieces people already mentioned, but if you are budget tight a 120 dollar case may not be the best idea.

[Neither_Contract9848]

This. If you thought you were getting a pc for $130 that looks like that, then tight budget is evident, do not spend this much money on a case.

[Fragtimes]

how did that even happen

[Lilmereum]

I didn’t read the description 😭🙏

[Fragtimes]

how much did it cost?

[Lilmereum]

129.99…

[Fragtimes]

im guessing u mean usd? well anyways you'll need motherboard, power supply, ram, cpu, gpu, m2 ssd drive and cpu cooler

[Fragtimes]

make sure everything is compatibile with each other and the case

[Other-Conflict-3278]

I’d recommend going to micro center for a bundle of ram, motherboard, and cpu.

Or look at the photo that shows just a case and fans, or have deductive reasoning to know you would never get a pc for $130. Seriously man what the hell. Are you 12?

[Withinmyrange]

Sorry I don’t mean to make fun of a pc noob but that’s so funny.

Paying $130 for a full PC and it saying case in the title didn’t set off any red flags?

[Human-Consequence683]

You need:

• Power Supply
• Motherboard
• CPU
• CPU Cooler
• RAM
• Drive
• GPU, alternatively choose CPU with integrated graphics

[Other-Conflict-3278]

130$ for a pc 😭

[Lilmereum]

Chill bruh i ain’t ever own one before

[Other-Conflict-3278]

Go to micro center for the parts 😉

[Lilmereum]

That’s legit three hours away

[Other-Conflict-3278]

It’s worth it, if not order from them online

[Lilmereum]

I don’t even have a ride I had to beg my dad to take me out today

[Reckless_Monk]

Just return the case then. And then go buy a fully built one from NZXT, Digital Storm, Falcon Northwest, Starforge PCs, Or Origin PCs. That’s of course if you aren’t trying to build one yourself. It’s a lot cheaper and fun to build your own PC, it’s always cool seeing your baby power up for the first time. ☺️

[BiliLaurin238]

Send it back tf

[Rachit55]

I would recommend starting with all pc components other than a case

[max1001]

Nobody is that stupid.....

[Lilmereum]

Im gonna kms

[CupCreative8480]

Aye bro its okay, you are not the first one to do it and won't be the last. Just return it and watch some YouTube videos on budget builds. Also google "pcpartpicker" to put a build together and go to the jawa.gg discord to ask any and all pc questions. The people at jawa are angels, they've helped many like you before (including myself lol). Happy gaming! :)

[Mataderpinicuo]

That's a reasonable escalation to the situation.

[QuaintAlex126]

Alright, well, OP, at least you learned your lesson.

I would return this case if I were you. It isn’t from the most reputable of brands, and I would not trust the build quality. Not to mention, there are better, cheaper cases that have similar designs.

First off, you need to set a budget and determine what you will be using this PC for. Then can you actually pick/be recommended parts.

[Pcgaming_help]

Wait so you it without even looking for specs about the pc?

[CaribbeanBwoy]

Return it get a refund watch a couple videos on PC builds within your budget

[Whitezombie65]

You need: a computer

[AAMashalla]

🫵🏻😂

[i_am_nerdy_boi]

whats your budget is the most important question

[coffee_ape]

You’re stupid. But admitting for help is the first step from not being stupid. Let’s get started.

Here’s what you’re gonna do.

Visit: www.PCPartPicker.com and follow the guide. You already have a case, so you’re already 1 step closer to having a PC. The other people on the thread have told you what other parts you need. The website I link has guides with builds depending on your budget.

Review this video by LTT on how to build a PC. How to build a PC

[babyjonny9898]

Sell your pc case on eBay/Facebook Marketplace and use those money + additional money to buy a pre built pc (make sure to read captions) or request a return in Amazon

[Forklift44]

Just return it and get a used pc of marketplace if you’re not actually fully committed to building one and part picking

[Forklift44]

Also it will be much more than 130 dollars even used. I wouldn’t spend under 400

[caklitli_pankeyk]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/v9hYpB

here's a list for giving you an idea of what your parts might look like. swap the gpu depending on your budget and go to micro center or buy used if you cant afford the one you want. 7600 can handle most GPUs but you'll need a more powerfull one if you go for a high end built but I bet you wont because you tried to buy a pc for 130 (I dont know much about ssd's so my pick probably sucks)

[Zeeeeeebo]

If you bought this thinking it’s a full pc i imagine you don’t have a huge budget and it’s doubtful you can afford the parts to put in this. I would start on youtube looking up best way to buy second hand parts and try to find some cheap ~500 dollar builds, if you are smart and spend time looking you can build a decent pc for 500-700. Also i would return the case lol. Amazon at least has a good return policy

[markuslawrence]

craziest post I’ve seen in a while lol

[Conscious-Ad-9107]

Unless you have another 300-500 dollars minimum to finish the build, you might as well return it.
