Ok so i have about $1000 saved up for a PC. Do I go to the store/online to buy one or do build it myself

Edit: If you recommend me to build, what parts do you recommend

 

[Juan Paublo]

Build

 

[Mark Hunt]

^^^^

 

[Jamie McFarlane]

building is cheaper meaning youll get more value for money

 

[Jacob Riplow]

Build. If it's your first pc, I'd build with the following:

Intel core I5 6400k
4-6gb RAM (ddr3)
1 tb HDD
And any compatible motherboard will do. Don't get one thats all fancy with a gold plated heat sync. The more basic ones work.
I'm not really sure about power supply. (I didn't buy mine).

 

[Jamie McFarlane]

going off that^
i5 6400k, 8gb ram, any compatible mobo, evga 500w psu, 60/120gb ssd for boot and a 1tb hdd for bulk with a gtx 1050ti to power games would be a killer first build

 

[JJ Risk]

is this inc monitor/etc??

 

[Amin Nausin]

if usd

 

[JJ Risk]

Here you go bud, i didnt include a monitor of keyboard/mouse as the monitor can be had cheap secondhand super easy, and key/mouse is so cheap its irrelevant. use the left over money for htis, or upgrade your gpu to a rx580/1060 6gb if you can. Cheers

[Amin Nausin]

kinda surprising you could get that good of a build for this little

 

[Clayton Shirey]

ebay or something

 

[Jose Yvonne Perez]

Newegg

 

[Jose Yvonne Perez]

If u have 1k, I would buy Intel, especially for gaming. The i5 7600k is on sale for $215, 16gb ddr4 ram, h110 mobo, 600w evga PSU, case and graphics and 1tb HDD

 

[Jose Yvonne Perez]

Lmao I love how everyone goes for a $100 ssd and only 8gb ram. Fail

 

[Jose Yvonne Perez]

I've had m.2 ssds and standard ssd. Its only good if u want to make pc boot fast. I dont own ssd anymore. I prefer more memory than speed loads........

 

[Brian Röthschild]

Build! also if you gonn buy ryzen just buy non-x sku its just the same as X sku variant still overclockable and unlocked tho

 

[Travis Wood]

The number of intel fan boys is so gross on here.....
