    12600k 178 bucks. Get assassin creed mirage and nightingale. 6750 XT 360 and get Starfield premium. Msi z690A 155 bucks for DDR 5 which is 21 dollars less than the same board in DDR4 which means you can get DDR5 for only about 25 bucks more. It’ll be used at some point. That’s 800 bucks on the most important stuff but that’s about 200 bucks of free games that I’m excited to play. I’ll skimp on the case and SSD and get a reasonable PSU. It will total right at 1000 bucks.

    You can spend a lot of money or do a lot of research! A well researched and designed computer is worth it's weight in gold. I think you would be shocked what somebody can do with a $250 build honestly. I mean, I just picked up a RX 470 for $40, amazing value GPU, pair something like an R3 Ryzen for $30 or kick in another $15 for an R5 and I think you could play nearly any game out there. Add $30 more for an 8GB of VRAM version and you're for sure good to go on high settings even in Red Dead 2.

    @SirChristoferus Před 9 měsíci +4

    Personally, for a computer that can easily handle 4K resolutions without breaking a sweat while multitasking, I would recommend an incremental approach for purchasing parts. That way, you can eventually have a future-proof powerhouse a few months down the road without worrying about your rent or other expenses.

    • @doctorno3912
      @doctorno3912 Před 9 měsíci

      I tend to take a staggered approach to a highend p.c build.
      I'll happily grab things like the case, psu, ram and ssd, fans, cables, aio when sales come up.
      These items are typically safe from being faulty and have long warranty periods.
      Motherboard, cpu and graphics I'll grab in one hit to test and make sure it's fault free.
