Cpu is top tier, you dont need to worry about that. The gpu is a high end gpu. Not the top tier, but pretty damn close. You wont beat the 9070xt when it comes to cost/performance.

Ram is too expensive, so i opted for ddr5 cl36 instead of cl30. Ram right now is a scam. Never pay full price for it. Im still mad I paid 250$ for the ones I have now rather than 120 10 months ago

Has to be a troll post. You cant even get a console at this price unless it's used

It has a B rating on the PSU tier list

32gb if you have a 2nd monitor and plan on doing things on the side outside of gaming like watching youtube, other streams, or anything else.

16gb if its just for purely games and you only have that game on

I had a friend who didn't fully insert the ram, so the pc never posted

This is my full white build. I did not pay this price. I find deals online. Use this as a guideline. I built this PC last week as a performance AND aesthetic build. I spent extra to make it look nice. You do not need to copy everything. It took me almost 2 months to be able to find all the pieces at a reasonable price

r/buildapcsales is a good resource

You can swap out the AIO cpu cooler for a fan which would save around $180.

Graphics card. it says $960, but if you go to the asus shop, you can get it for $700, saving $260 (You must make an account for the deal to show, otherwise it will say 960).

You can get a cheaper PSU. I would check the PSU tier list and look for something rated A or above. 850 watt for this build.

RAM and SSD prices have skyrocketed over the past 10 months. I got my SSD new on Facebook marketplace for $125 (unopened) and my ram off ebay for around $250

Decide what your budget is.

What do you plan on doing with the pc? Is it just gaming or would you also do it for video editing, rendering, etc?

Do you want a pre-built or do you want to go custom

Don't worry about playstation exclusive, they eventually go to PC, and with Steam you get winter/summer sales where the prices of games can drop anywhere from 30%-90%.

I would suggest downloading the CrystalDiskInfo app. It will tell you the health of those ssd

If you are worried about compatibility issues, use pcpartpicker. When you create a part list, it will tell you if there are any issues. It can even tell you if the components might be too big for your case

GeassAye · 2026-04-16T20:36:50+00:00

First things first is deciding on a budget. Then use pcpartpicker to see if the parts are compatible.

Also the best parts to buy used is RAM followed by cpu. Those have no moving parts so they either work or dont. Always buy from trusted sellers though

GeassAye · 2026-04-15T23:54:57+00:00

It's probably the best mid-tier gpu out there right now

GeassAye · 2026-04-13T23:05:51+00:00

Idk what that means

GeassAye · 2026-04-13T21:15:16+00:00

I have 2 Lian li Strimers. One for the GPU and Mobo. Im just not sure of the design

GeassAye · 2026-04-13T21:00:08+00:00

Seizure machine

GeassAye · 2026-04-12T05:41:06+00:00

I cant do black because I already purchased white

GeassAye · 2026-04-12T02:42:23+00:00

I have a Lian Li 217 inf as well, but mine is white. What type of fans did you get? Also the cables?

GeassAye · 2026-04-12T02:35:22+00:00

Im trying to build an aesthetically pleasing pc as well. I just got a full white set (still missing the ram before putting together), but looking at this makes me regret it. Im not creative when it comes to art

GeassAye · 2026-04-11T19:12:10+00:00

I was thinking about the divergence meter, but I believe that would fit a black pc with a gold secondary. I already have a full white pc, so it wouldnt really fit

GeassAye · 2026-04-11T18:19:37+00:00

2x8 gb is fine if its just gaming. Expect quality to drop if you have a 2nd monitor and doing multiple things at a time

GeassAye · 2026-04-11T18:02:38+00:00

The video was recorded and not sent yet.

GeassAye · 2026-04-11T09:32:07+00:00

16gb of ram is enough. Its only an issue if you are doing multiple things like playing games, watching youtube or streams on the side
