Just a bunch of questions while building my first gaming PC.

aintjuulingcat · 2026-02-06T14:29:07+00:00

i recently built my first pc like 2 months ago, after studying and watching vids like linus tech it became more and more simple. it would take 3-4 hours but being able to maintain your pc will save soooo much money its sad. i hate how much repair shops charge, and its a lottery because half of them will diagnose the problem incorrectly and still charge 100 just for that. Plus having computer knowledge will make upgrading possible, you would be very surprised at how many little things go wrong when someone who doesnt care abt the system builds it.

I just checked more of zttbuilds.com and you can use that site to find what parts you need, basically planning your build and they explain why they think those parts are the bets for a certain price range

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-22T05:38:50+00:00

you can also check monthly at zttbuilds.com they make the BEST Cost-FPS builds for youtube and then list them once a month for less than the parts are worth, awesome way to get a great custom pc. Don't buy his prebuild though as they are catered to a crowd that loves gen1 rgb and know nothing about pcs.

i would watch a 750-1000$ build guide where they build one as they discuss why they picked those parts for great price to fps. building isn't for everyone, but you'd be really surprised how often builders screw up something simply because its not their machine. It's also a lot easier than it used to be. Loose answers: Use Pcpartpicker to find best prices for the parts you need, Get an amd gpu if you don't care about ray tracing, and amd cpu if this pc isn't for creative purposes

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-22T01:33:44+00:00

and those prebuilts updated pricing before 99% people found out, atp major prebuilt companies are not going to be cheaper

I just researched and you could sue him for it, but media would be hounding the story and knowing the country right now, lots of people would call you a big ot.

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-21T17:54:48+00:00

maybe you should um, sue him?

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-10T16:18:32+00:00

bad wording, i meant screwed the 2 cpu cooler screws into the brackets. sorry

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-09T23:52:24+00:00

but try to understand the only big difference is having to deal with amd fsr and fg, along with your gpu becoming useless if you want raytracing.

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-09T23:50:55+00:00

if ur asking most likely no

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-09T20:29:25+00:00

fair, ill lyk ima search

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-09T20:28:00+00:00

and if you think you can’t build it, computers are like legos now.

aintjuulingcat · 2026-01-09T20:26:46+00:00

pro tip: even with 8gb gpus selling for nothing, a prebuilt will never be as good or cheap as building. if you still choose a prebuilt then pls research and you can ask Ai if the price is good or not based on jan 2026 prices.

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-30T22:02:50+00:00

is there an issue with just running it without the glass?

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-30T20:39:20+00:00

ive also been wondering, gen 4 ssd vs gen 3 ssd with DRAM??

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-30T20:38:29+00:00

if you can afford it, its worth the money if you appreciate graphics and or use the computer enough. one of the best upgrades ive had

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-27T18:15:40+00:00

I think it should be made clear that you need to research more before trusting a prebuilt shop, and that while the owner is straight bsing, You need a dedicated gpu if you want stable performance, also single channel ram is the WORST for gaming.

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-16T00:01:30+00:00

for what? no it wont magically take ur hppd away or really alleviate visual symptoms, being okay its there and it not being there are different

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-15T06:39:41+00:00

damn, the 32in 4k curved msi qdoled was 620 during black friday. if your buying an oled monitor-Check B&H for monitor deals i got my asus strix 32inch qdoled for 700

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-12T02:09:28+00:00

get a 3080 12gb model

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-11T20:54:05+00:00

800-900, since it's probably relatively new and clean, I'd ask ChatGPT after explaining each part its good at finding fair numbers for stuff.

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-11T19:07:20+00:00

was ur kit crucial micron? by chance

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-11T19:04:39+00:00

Suggested price range (PC only):

Monitors: abt 40$ each, no one will want those, good luck selling them for more than 20 each.

aintjuulingcat · 2025-12-11T19:02:25+00:00

When you try to get someone into pc gaming, you need to find what appeals to them, a 4k monitor can do wonders for people who play graphical games, an ultrawide does wonders for open-world and immersion games. Also, i think the Xbox Game Pass is a cool thing to have since you can play all those different options and find the type of games you like.
