Hi everyone. I'm looking to build my first ever gaming PC. As a teacher I have to work hard and save harder. Any recommendations to motivate myself to save? That will be a great help. TIA
Is there ever a "perfect" time?+1 Very bad time to want to build a gaming pc.
Thanks. Definitely helpsFirst thing is to set a budget. That allows you to see options and also benchmark against a console in terms of your needs.
Been there, done that.Wrong point in time in this here dystopia we find ourselves in to build a decent gaming rig. If it's just gaming you're after, perhaps consider the new gen console route. Way better bang for buck and if you really want to save on games you can share a willing persons account. No rules against that and it's not piracy.
No but right now it's like the worst time.Is there ever a "perfect" time?
Max 25KWhat is your budget?
And what do you have already? Besides for the PC itself you need the following - if you do, give us the models so we can help see if they will do the job:Max 25K
This is an absolutely great idea if you're going to be playing the latest and greatest single player games the 6600XT will do better if you're chasing higher frame rates. No point going for 1440p off the bat at 25k if you need everything. Just the GPU and the Monitor for 1440p high refresh is getting close to that. 1080p is going to be fine for the start.My recommendation
take you budget R 25 000
subtract
GPU cost R 7600
monitor cost R 4000
Use remainder to build pc.
never a bad time to build one bud. i would reccomend it over any next gen consoleIs there ever a "perfect" time?
