Build a gaming PC

Check pcpartpicker for compatibility between parts before buying anything, don't watercool, check guides and you'll be ok.
$600 is more than enough for 1080p30 for most game.

I only justified prebuilt after getting a job at best buy which brought a 3 year protection plan down form like $400 to $35, but I'm pretty happy with my purchase even not counting that

>Anyone else fall for the gaming pc meme?
No, you are literally the only person on Zig Forums with a gaming pc.

>buy gaming pc
>buy new high end gpu every 2 years
>90% of the time only the same game bcs nothing good ever comes out

I mean I respect the cope. But theres a few games that would be nice to play that dont have pc ports. Metal Gear Solid for example. Not to mention all the work you have to do to make those 30 and less year old games to run. When you can probably play those games on console and they work perfectly fine.

>Metal Gear Solid

PS1 is almost as easy as SNES to emulate.

Like googling "how to run "?

can a gaming pc help me have 100 tabs open with 2 streams playing while downloading anime as i play a nes emulator?

Remember user shitposters here actively ignore pcgamingwiki as it undermines their arguments.

You just need a load of ram and a decently threaded cpu.

thanks user.

because nothing in the past 10-15 years has been good

Neither do the devs dunno why I bought a 3900x when devs haven't figured out there have been CPUs with more than 2 cores for over 10 years

Stop falseflagging

>he doesn't know

Building a PC isn’t really hard even for a first timer, it just can be a bit annoying at some parts (cable management, attaching CPU cooler, all the million little case led/power button/front panel audio cables). It’s highly unlikely that you would break anything, but semi-likely that you won’t have any fun with it, only moderate annoyance.

> cable management
This is the hardest part of building a PC imo. I've never done anything harder than attaching a floppy drive or adding more RAM, and when I think about building a PC I see dozens of cables coming out of power supply and I realize that I have no slightest idea of how to connect all those cables to PC internals.

>want to play at 1440p with a refresh rate above 60hz
>CPU, GPU and monitor alone total up to $1200

they told me this was going to be cheap

> 1440p
Worst resolution ever possible.

1080p is literally the perfect resolution

uhh, no?

Look up budget gaming pc's fucking retards cant into researching shit.

I'm about to fall for it. Screw consoles man I can have anything plus porn.

Even though I’m a PC gamer too, I can completely admit that most people advocating PC gaming are full of bullshit in regards of how they tell you how you can both keep the cake and eat it.

The beauty of PC gaming is that it can scale up as high as you can afford, but sure, it really gets expensive if you want all the nicest stuff with big resolutions combined with high framerates. It’s very intellectually dishonest when same people go and praise ”it’s so good to play on 144hz” and then also go that ”it’s no more expensive than console gaming, bro”.

It exists solely for potato users of yore can get a double resolution increase

No.

Just buy some used workstation and slap a decent GPU on it.

having standards 'aint cheap, user. 2020 standards are 4k 144hz displays. 2019 is 2k 144hz. PC is years ahead of consoles at any given time. Go look up how much these 2020spec displays cost. Also you need the 3080ti to run it.

My Dell G5 laptop was one of the best purchases I ever made for this reason.

It runs the kinds of games I like really well, is mobile, and only cost me like 700 bucks on sale.

yo 2016 called they want their display standards back

going from 4k to 1080p is like going from 1080p to 720p. You just can't go back once you've had a taste of the good stuff and developed, you know, standards.

How about but GTX1060 6GB DDR5 when it brand new for YouTube and play game on Nintendo switch and PS4 pro instead.

I've mostly played older games on it, but I'm still glad I spent a lot on building a good PC. It's nice being able to play with friends and not have to figure out who should host anymore, play whatever I want and not worry about whether I can record and/or watch shit at the same time, etc.
Spent a long time as a poorfag with a shit laptop having to question whether I could play even something like Stardew Valley or Terraria, so I'm glad to have left that behind.

game? I have a 4k monitor too and that looks nice.

I only emulate games up to DC or 90s pc games. At least 4k makes emulation shaders look really nice.

Got a 4k screen and subpar pc all I play is heroes 3 it's fucking addictive and an active 1v1 community. Though lots of polish players for some reason

That was my guess. I played it a few years ago and never finished it. Good game. I'm upgrading my GPU in two weeks so I'll be playing more modern stuff in 4k instead of 2k.

Built a mid range pc for my brother for the first time, it felt absolutely amazing to turn it on for the first time after hours of annoyances, losing screws as well as dropping the fucking CPU, landing on the pins and it miraculously not breaking.
I want to build one for me at a higher budget and was keeping my eye on the RX 5700, but I read mostly negative or conflicting opinions on it, what do you guys say?
