what do I need

[manic ore]

Are you asking for tools to build it or what?

Or stuff for windows activation?

@steady frost

[steady frost]

Both

@manic ore

[manic ore]

Oh so building it you basically just need Philips screwdriver

Small one

You could get it from LTT store. A screw holder would be nice too. Also a strap to connect to something metal to not damage anything

[steady frost]

So how do I get windows on it?

[manic ore]

Do you have any other computer that you can access?

[steady frost]

Yea

[manic ore]

Awesome

So you need a empty usb drive to download windows on, I’m pretty sure it has to be like at least 8gb

[steady frost]

Im just gonna buy a 246gb so i can transfer alot of other files

[manic ore]

Nice. And here is a cheap screwdriver set if you don’t have one https://a.co/d/00KXAW0Q

https://a.co/d/03uPgk1g

https://a.co/d/05hTy2wp

[steady frost]

Lmfao thats the one a pickes

[manic ore]

Oh lol. That’s the one I’m gonna buy for when I build a pc too

[steady frost]

Im just gonna use gloves instead of a anti static wrist band

[manic ore]

Ok that’ll work too

[steady frost]

Ight

Is this everything ill need?

@manic ore

[manic ore]

Idk for sure if you need those extra cords but other than that you got everything. You might want to add a mouse pad tho. Love the water bottle

[steady frost]

Lol theres a mousepad in there too btw

[manic ore]

Oh ok mb

[steady frost]

All g

So i got everything i need and the cables are fir aesthetic purposes

[manic ore]

Yup

Oh and also u need to get a windows key

[steady frost]

Mycdkey.com

[clever rampart]

if you haven't already bought it i might want to upgrade that psu

my go to is https://digitalchillmart.com/product/windows-10-home-32-64-bit-license-key/

[manic ore]

I’d go win 11

[clever rampart]

what?

windows 10 keys work for win11

done its lots of times saves me 5$

[manic ore]

Oh I didn’t know that

[steady frost]

What psu?

[clever rampart]

i am not fully sure what might be best as i am outside of amazons reach but i will find you a good one

[steady frost]

Thanks :)

[clever rampart]

but try and find one from this list https://cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/

its a list of the top psues and for your system go for a A or B psu and nothing lower

[steady frost]

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Mj7jz6

[clever rampart]

here is my take on the list aka just upgraded the psu to a rm650 so 30$ more but its worth it

a bad psu=a really bad day

i just found this https://pcpartpicker.com/guide/NtFfrH/entry-level-amd-gaming-build

its the same pc but way better and somehow cheaper

with this you get pcie 4.0 so you can use SAM and rebar more effectively

[jolly dove]

Good lord please tell me you haven’t bought this yet

[steady frost]

Not yet why

@jolly dove

[steady frost]

@clever rampart

I’ve resulted to this https://pcpartpicker.com/list/37hcXk

[jolly dove]

First off you live in the us right? What’s the pc for

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RvWqvj

Pick up a can of spray paint

[steady frost]

Gaming and recording

@jolly dove

[steady frost]

@manic ore is this good https://pcpartpicker.com/list/RvWqvj?

[manic ore]

budget? do you need the 2tb or is 1 fine? i could try to put something similar together

@steady frost

[steady frost]

2tb and $650

[manic ore]

ok i can try

white or black?

black would be easier

also is aliexpress ok?

[steady frost]

White and please no aliexpress it's to risky for my liking

[manic ore]

crap

thats tough

[manic ore]

how much does the motherboard cost in this?

@steady frost

[steady frost]

$60

[manic ore]

oh wow ok

yeah that is a pretty nice list. the only things that id change would be the cpu cooler, and the case. you can save like 2$ on this cooler and you shouldnt put a mATX board in an ATX case. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/YVZTL9

if you dont like the case then diypc q3 and q5 are nice too.

[steady frost]

K

[manic ore]

Oh and I found a cheaper ssd Silicon Power UD90 2 TB

I’ll link it

https://pcpartpicker.com/product/f4cG3C/silicon-power-ud90-2-tb-m2-2280-pcie-40-x4-nvme-solid-state-drive-sp02kgbp44ud9005

I found it in someone else’s list

[clever rampart]

looks like a good drive got a 4/5 from toms
https://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/silicon-power-ud90-ssd-review

[steady frost]

The one that u found is 117

[manic ore]

That’s 111?

[steady frost]

Yea

[steady frost]

This should be everything i need correct @manic ore

[manic ore]

Yup and a windows key

[steady frost]

Which is got covered lol

[jolly dove]

You don’t need thermal paste

Or gloves really

[steady frost]

@manic ore i went to buy it and it self cancelled would u know why amazon would or do that or what i can do to fix it?

[manic ore]

I have no idea

[steady frost]

I figured it out lol
