Awesome. Good Luck with your build. I enjoy building PC's as much as I do gaming on them.

Take your time and do your research, its tons of fun building PC's. It can also be frustratingly challenging if you dont pay attention and take your time.

good luck - you can get every single component to build a system , except a videocard . In fact, I think it's easier to buy components to make a rocketship than it is to find a videocard.

Hey there, and welcome to the world of PC gaming! Its honestly great, whether you're a casual like me or in it to win it. The build is the best part. Use a site like pcpartpicker.com to plan it out, research what you want, and ask forums for advice if you have questions. This seems like an awesome community so far!
Current Build:Ryzen 9 3900XTArctic 420mm AIOMSI MEG x570 ACE32 GB Trident Z Neo CL16 3600mhz DDR4EVGA GTX 980 ACX 2.0Sabrent Rocket NVMe PCI 4.0 1TBEVGA Supernova G2 850 GoldThermaltake Level 20 XT Best quote I've ever heard:Music has always been a matter of energy to me, a question of fuel. Sentimental people call it inspiration, but what they really mean is fuel. I have always needed fuel. I am a serious consumer. On some nights I still believe that a car with the gas needle on empty can run about fifty more miles if you have the right music very loud on the radio.-Hunter S. Thompson

^^^ This post... the building part is a heck of a lot of fun when putting together water cooled computers and overclocking. Seeing your hard work pay off with extra FPS and a better gaming experience is a blast. Welcome to Gaming... you've got a lot of old games to catch up on... ENJOY!

The best advice I got when building a pc was to not just focus on pc hardware but make sure you have a monitor that will do it justice!

I've recommended "IsThereAnyDeal.com" to a few friends now for finding video game deals. They scour a ton of websites and track pricing over time, including historical lows. isthereanydeal.com Unfortunately, this means I now have more games in my Steam library than I have time to play. #firstworldproblems

One of the most satisfying feelings is just after you have the build completed...and you press the start button and the machine comes to life...Good luck

Keep in mind it’s not always best to go all out. It’s about getting the most bang for your buck. Sometimes prices can go up really high for the best when the second best is 98-99% of the performance of the best. This is very true for things like RAM and SSD’s.

Welcome to the games! What type of game genres are you looking into? For me, I'm very much a Final Fantasy 14 player, and have been really wanting to get back to playing my dancer since my old desktop started throwing watchdog exceptions. :( Now I have all my components except my cpu, gpu (have my notifies set up already, but am also seeing if I can get a 3070 FE or a 3070 strix) and windows, and have to be patient for those as I save up. Now for everyone else on here, what are your top 5 fave games?
Be and Do in equal measure. Yes, that includes being patient on getting the new computer rig completed. Independent superheroines ftw!

I recently updated my computer, and I liked the fact that now my computer can handle any games, but my favorite game is still League of Legends, I already have a lot of experience in this game, I got myself a lol account using the site happysmurf.com and start participating in the tournament.
