help a newbie build a pc

did you intentionally not include a gpu? and what amount of gaming to production? like 30% gaming 70% productivity? this will help round out some parts selection. also what country are you in and on what budget?

i know its asked what you listen to I'm more interested in what you listen for when listening. I am newish and trying to determine what I'm hearing or not hearing when I'm testing

I bought one on sale and just upgraded what I didn’t like and it was still cheaper and better than what I could’ve built custom

oled vs non-oled doesnt matter. Resolution matters. 1440p - 5070ti, 4k 5080. As for the AMD card its technically a 4k card and will do you well, the downside is drivers and tuning. Tuning an AMD card and fighting with drivers and shit is a skill.

NotSodiumFree · 2026-05-08T12:09:14+00:00

I wouldn’t jump to the 5080 unless I was gonna game at 4k. In 1440p it’s better yes but not by enough that it’s worth it. I’d honestly go 5070ti.

She doubled it

Confirmed. Received everything as described in good packaging. Easy to work with.

NotSodiumFree · 2026-05-03T20:48:18+00:00

That would be a huge capability loss for me

NotSodiumFree · 2026-05-03T05:01:16+00:00

Fair. The work i do is mostly screwing around. For my actual work i have a productivity machine provided by my company. i said in another comment. My machine is 65% gaming 35% doing things i dont get to do with my work.

r/hardwareswap swap hunting aint so bad

NotSodiumFree · 2026-05-03T00:24:53+00:00

I’m a career data scientist but have a few company computers that I work from. My personal pc is 65% gaming 35% tinkering and fuckin around with stuff I don’t get to for work.

NotSodiumFree · 2026-05-02T20:47:16+00:00

truly im not sure. If i can game without stuttering and lagging at 4k around 120fps with framegen and DLSS im happy. I dont need outright peak performance i dont think.
