As the title says, I need help building a PC.
Quick background: I never built a PC before. Whenever I used one, I always used the "family" PC, and it always came pre build. Grown up now and earned some cash that I can finally have my own PC.
I want to build one because not only it ends up being more affordable overall, but I can also focus more of my budget on things that are more important, something that buying one that is pre-build does not allow.And its a good knowledge to have, to be able to be more self-sufficient on these kinds on things(Its not a life changing skill, but still).
But alas, having no experience building one before, I have almost no clue what to do. So that's why I came here. I wanted to ask if you guys were willing to give me a few pointers. Namely, I need help with three things:
1) The components I need to buy. Doing a quick google search, it seems that I need to buy:
- A PC Case
- A CPU
- A Motherboard
- A Memory(RAM)
-A GPU
- Storage
- A Power Supply Unit(PSU
-A system cooling
Did I forget anything?I guess I need an OS, but I'll just have to buy a Windows and install it, right? So is there anything else?
2) What parts to buy. I'll use this PC for pretty much anything, but I want to be able to play games with it. I want it to be powerful enough to run all, or at least most, games(not at full settings, I don't have enough money for that lol). My budget is around 1k dollars. I imagine that's enough, but if 100 or 200 dollars is required to buy a certain part and the cost benefit is worthwhile, I'm willing to fork out the money. I do have an overall idea on what to buy(Like buying an RTX3060 or at least a 2060 if the 3060 ends up being too expensive), but I would really appreciate to hear from someone who knows what he's talking about.
3) A good youtube tutorial teaching step by step, as if he's talking to a baby, on how to assemble all of it together. I am a complete newbie regarding this topic, so a really through video is what I need.
And that's it. Sorry if its too much to ask, but I really appreciate any help that I can get regarding this!
