I think what OP is trying to get to is to have a PCS system configured that is similar to the above post

Yes, that was mainly my intention 😅

Rule 7
Hi, I changed the post so I don't break any rules and sorry if I did even when it was not my intention of course .
Previously I had one of those "gaming" laptops that I bought without paying too much attention to details because I needed one and I also wanted to play casually. However it died but now I would like to buy a PC instead. I have very little Idea of what I should look at so I checked some PCs with a friend and he recommended me one with these specifications but when I try I can't find all the components in your website so could I get some advise and help to build one based on these specifications? Does not need to be the same, since I don't understand much about these, I'm just using this as a guide.
My idea is a pc that runs every game with a decent graphs but doesn't need to run them in ultra. But I don't if maybe I should get something better even if it is more expensive. My budget is 1600-2000 € but including monitor, keyboard, cables, etc

that is just the PC configured as close as I can with the options PCS has, leaving space for the peripherals, I am not sure what you need, so you can add them yourself to the confirator, or order/buy them from a local retailer or amazon etc

bear in mind the MSI case you were looking at is an mATX case, and the one I used is an ATX case, so it will be a bit bigger
but the only time you should take an mATX case and board is if you are desperate to keep it small

Hi again, I was going through PCspecialist builder and a used the recommended build for a bit higher budget and got this build, but I have been told to pay special attention into the refrigeration of the case or how many HDMI ports it has in csse I want to connect kore than one scree but I am not sure about how I can check that

Sorry I just copied from click board and I thought I was just copying the specifications
And sorry for making probably really obvious questions 😅

The 4070 card can support up to 4 monitors, but it will be a mixture of DP and HDMI ports - often 3 DP and one HDMI - DP is the better standard at the moment and you can get DP to HDMI cables if you need them
steep hazel
Perfect thanks! Also, if there were any problems with the case and the needed ports the builder itself would detect it or should I check individually?
inner hound
The configurator should flag if things just wont work together or just not fit.
But you seem to have chosen an mATX motherboard, which you really shouldn't use unless you're trying to fit it into a really small case, and also a CPU which is 2 generations old now.
Its probably wise to wait and see if someone can build you an AMD spec as that wil probably work better for you
