Gonna build my first pc how much should i be looking to spend?

 

[Jon Blaze]

All of it.

 

[Eduard Coman]

Depends on what you want to do with it

 

[Benjamin Cunningham]

$2500-$3000 for a decent gaming pc

 

[Jon Blaze]

I started off with "oh, im just gonna spend 500-800" that turned into a $1200 build. The $1200 build is now a $2000 build and will soon be a $3000 build.

 

[Kazi Redoan]

as much as you can comfortably spend

 

[Jesse Salo]

remeber that no matter what you do... make sure it's easy to upgrade...

 

[Daniel Ledford]

Depends on what resolution you want to hit. If you want ultra at 1080p like $600-800. Ultra 1440p $900-1200 and 4k like $1400-1600 minimum.

 

[Mike Horton]

1500 for a great build

 

[Jeremy Kopko]

My first pc build was $800 u.s and lasted a good 4 years. Only thing I replaced was the video card between that time frame.

 

[Josh McGrew]

Just outside bankruptcy

 

[Joe Craig]

1 billion dollars, mwahahahahahahahahahahaha

 

[Jerry Jonker]

Over 9000?

 

[Andrew Reed]

One million dollars...

 

[John Mehan]

[Joshua Martin]

Anywhere between $500 and $5000

 

[Jim Sweigart]

Over Nine Thousand!

This is a good build without spending much money.


What you can get for more money?

AMD R5 1600 - Better 6 Core 12 thread processor. For $30 more.

16 GB RAM instead of 8GB - You can do this later down the road.

An SSD - I highly recommend an SSD. You can buy a cheap 128/256 GB for $50/$100.

RX 580 - Roughly 10-15% faster. You can step up
