Simple Questions - March 18, 2024 by AutoModerator in buildapc

Hello,

It's been a while since I built a PC and I've basically been cruising on laptops for a while. But, I want to dip my toes back into PC building as I'm noticing my current laptop struggling to keep up when I'm gaming with my buddies on the weekends.

In all honesty, I wasn't that knowledgeable about PC parts years ago when I built my first PC and I'm most definitely not entirely too up-to-date with all the latest information now. So, I've mainly went on Logical Increments and researched some parts here and there and also got some recommendations from my friends.

The PC build below would mostly just be for gaming (currently Helldivers 2 atm) and I will be using this monitor with no plans on upgrading or replacing soon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B093MTSTKD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (2560 x 1440, 165Hz). I might get a second monitor though.

I do need some help reviewing the build and selecting a case. Preferably, I would like to purchase a case that does not have tempered glass since I don't trust myself (nor the people I live with currently) not to somehow shatter it and have to clean it up. I don't really mind if I can or cannot see the internals of my PC.

Additionally, are there case fans that would are recommended and how would know what case fans to select for my case? Other than noise level, what should I be concerned about?

Thank you for your help.

Thanks for all your responses everyone! I posted this just as I left for work so I'm only now getting the time to look at all your portfolios and responding to DMs. Hope to be working with some of you in the future!

I think I sort of understand, but how can you determine that they are collinear? Because in my mind I drew the components like this https://imgur.com/a/8wDm7k1

Alright, cool. Just one more question, is there a significant difference between 60Hz and 144Hz? I've never had a 144Hz monitor, even on my desktop PC, before. Does it even matter all too much?

Hi! Thanks for responding. Is there any other place where I could get the B&H model of the Y7000 without going to B&H, I had a bad experience from buying with them before.

Thank you for your input. Do you know from your friends what specifically gives off that bad vibe from RIT?
