HELP IM NEW TO PC 🤣

[slim flare]

Hi, I’m new to PCs and I’m looking for a PC but no idea where to begin 😂

I’m looking for it to

• Stream my Ps5 gameplay 1080p minimum.
  -edit videos
  -render videos
  -Occasionally do work stuff
  -run small games such as football manager

Looks wise, I like the white box type but don’t mind other cases either.

I have also no idea what else I would require such as ports etc🤣

Any help will go along way.

Budget is up to £1200 but more savings the better. It doesn’t have to be top of the range straight away as I’m new to it all.

Thanks in advance.

prebuilt pc or custom?

[slim flare]

Either, no idea what would be better if that makes sense 😂

[grand pike]

:tada: Congrats @slim flare, you levelled up to 1! :tada:

[quartz pollen]

custom you can get better specs
/ pick out what you want to your choices

prebuilts are next day delivery i think

[slim flare]

Yeah I’ve seen they are, there isn’t a massive rush so I’m more than happy for custom

[quartz pollen]

white or black pc?

[slim flare]

White I prefer, also like the bus cases but that’s not a deal breaker

[quartz pollen]

amd or intel?

[slim flare]

I have no preference. Sorry I’m not super helpful

[quartz pollen]

do you want a small case or a bigger case

[heavy torrent]

Don't go intel atm

Unless for a low end build

[quartz pollen]

wasn’t going to sob

[quartz pollen]

he needs it for rendering

& editing

[heavy torrent]

If it's professional work then the choice is obvious

7950x

[quartz pollen]

im waiting for him to say if he wants a bigger or a smaller case

[heavy torrent]

But I think he can get away with a 7800x3d considering it's more casual

[slim flare]

Bigger is fine mate

[slim flare]

Thanks for helping too !

[heavy torrent]

Ah £1200 I'll do something

1 secondo

Black is a bit cheaper ATM so you get more moneys worth

What do you value more?

[quartz pollen]

cp dont have much white mothetboards aswell

[slim flare]

Performance ahahah, like I say It doesn’t need to be a amazing just a starter than will last a while I can always upgrade later down line

[quartz pollen]

black it os

[slim flare]

I’m a Newcastle fan so as long as it’s black and white that’s all that matter ahahaha

Just gotta find the one for you

[quartz pollen]

[quartz pollen]

[slim flare]

I will do thank you !

Machine that ahahaha

[quartz pollen]

@heavy torrent js cus u reacted with skull, imma hunt u down

[quartz pollen]

yas

[slim flare]

https://www.argos.co.uk/product/4845278

This is the pre built how bad is it ?

[heavy torrent]

Ehhhhh it's not terrible

[quartz pollen]

bad

asthetics + performance is not the beat

best

[heavy torrent]

There's probably £100 for build fees and £100 for a genuine windows license so it's fine

Well spending £2000 on aesthetics would be absurd right?

[quartz pollen]

@slim flare buy this and ill hug u

[slim flare]

2 different opinions 😂

[quartz pollen]

skull

[heavy torrent]

Doesn't get more conflicted than that 😦

Eh just ask around obviously there is some bias here

[quartz pollen]

my pc is good in peformance in general & looks good

[heavy torrent]

Martin

Please

[quartz pollen]

stop 🛑

[quartz pollen]

it is good though 😜

[slim flare]

It’s like I don’t want to commit it a really good Pc just sort want one to do the job to start if you get me 😂

[heavy torrent]

Ye that's fine

Literally anything you can get away with, 1.2k is a lot of money to play with

[slim flare]

Also pickle with your build if I change to a case that hasn’t got fans on case already will that affect it ?

[quartz pollen]

pickle lmfao

[heavy torrent]

The moderators changed my name because I said a jalapeno was a pickle

Please don't call me pickle 😦

[quartz pollen]

pickle man

[heavy torrent]

Eh so I would stick with the Lancool 216 but if you wanted a white case go for the NZXT H6 flow

[quartz pollen]

depends if u want rgb fans or js black fans

[slim flare]

Ahahahaha my bad

[heavy torrent]

[quartz pollen]

i used to have 1 rear black cp fan

😭

old:

[heavy torrent]

I got bored of my RGB and bought arctic P14s/P12s and got a nice black build now

[quartz pollen]

new:

[heavy torrent]

Martinn

[quartz pollen]

thats the difference

😎

[heavy torrent]

Ok

[quartz pollen]

🥒

[slim flare]

Just I like these cases

But if they don’t help with cooking I will look at others

[heavy torrent]

I won't be the one telling you how to spend your blood sweat n tears but £60 could get you somewhere in terms of performance

[heavy torrent]

Nah no help with cooling, the 216 is the best for airflow that cyberpower.... Actually maybe close to the best in the world

[quartz pollen]

get the hyte y70 touch infinite

[slim flare]

I don’t mind need all advice I can get 😂

[quartz pollen]

personally i love the h60 and h70 cases

[heavy torrent]

I would thiiiiink the build I first posted is what I would go for personally

[heavy torrent]

They cost alot

[quartz pollen]

i know but its good overall

[slim flare]

Okay got you. Yeah them cases are nice as well

[heavy torrent]

If you need more gaming performance later you can drop a 5800x3d in the build and you should be set

You can always upgrade the GPU later down the line an 850w can even support a 4090

The case is genuinely brilliant for cooling options if you wanted an AIO in the future and yeah that's my advice for today

[quartz pollen]

4090 as a starter pc

[heavy torrent]

I didn't say that did I

[quartz pollen]

nvm read it wrong

[slim flare]

I get you, mad confusing all this for me ahahaha so many different types and names lmao

[grand pike]

:tada: Congrats @slim flare, you levelled up to 3! :tada:

[heavy torrent]

You could have had a 4090 with £3k tho

[heavy torrent]

Ye

[quartz pollen]

the 4090s are like 2k though

[slim flare]

Just in 2 minds do I go for basic cheap just to do the job or do one that will do more just for future proof

[heavy torrent]

Argos Vs the stuff I picked out for you?

[slim flare]

Sort of. When I started looking a month ago my budget was £750 😅 but that’s changed lmao

[heavy torrent]

Eh you can always upgrade the PSU in the Argos one and get a 5800x3d with a phantom spirit air cooler and that will do the job

[heavy torrent]

So in another month your budget will double question mark

[slim flare]

Ahahahahahha I wish mate

[heavy torrent]

I wish too 😢

[slim flare]

If I win the lottery I might go up to 1.5k Ahahha

[heavy torrent]

Eh, you never know right

[quartz pollen]

if i win the lottery ill buy a water cooled pc with duel 4090s

[slim flare]

Screenshotted 🤣

[quartz pollen]

.-.

[quartz pollen]

okay luk if u need anymore advice

[heavy torrent]

RTX 3050

[quartz pollen]

skull

[heavy torrent]

Nah not a good buy imo

[quartz pollen]

650w

psu

[heavy torrent]

Ok? That's more than enough

[quartz pollen]

ddr4 aswell

[quartz pollen]

if you upgrade it in the future though

like if u upgrade other stuff u might need a higher psu

easier js to buy like a 850 instead of having to swap a new one

[heavy torrent]

I'm willing to bet your system draws only 500W max

[quartz pollen]

no

650

[slim flare]

😂😂😂 waffle central love it

[quartz pollen]

cp recommended that its 650

good that i didnt buy a 650 psu

[slim flare]

Thanks to both of you for taking time out of your day to help ! Much appreciated. I will no doubt be back later asking questions

[heavy torrent]

No worries

[slim flare]

Could I add fans or does it not need them. Reply when you have time no rush

[heavy torrent]

Lian Li Lancool 216 no need for extra fans

You can put 3 at top if you wish

[slim flare]

Got you thanks again mate ! That white case you said is nice !

[heavy torrent]

That case you can add some fans but it will be a mismatch

[slim flare]

Yeah if I do that case I won’t add any. Is it worth overclocking ? And might upgrade warranty as well

[heavy torrent]

No need to upgrade warranty as its 2 year parts across the board

And overclocking isn't worth the hassle and voids warranty

[slim flare]

You are a class ! Thanks again. Really humming and harring lmao

[heavy torrent]

No problemo
