$600?? aight

need to know some other things first

do you currently have

-keyboard

-mouse

-monitor/tv to play it on

-windows OS

I need to know b/c if you have these, we can get a pretty nice graphics card b/c we dont have to put any of the budget in those other areas.

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Regular ass keyboard and mouse and got a 24 inch gaming monitor.

 

[AP21]

You gon get your own copy of Windows?

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

Yea I can do dat

 

[AP21]

Aight. I'ma have something for you tomorrow

 

[Lou Cypher]

One day I will join the master race as well. I have the same budget. Got keyboard and all that shit. Will go buy windows os when I get all the other shit

 

[AP21]

Aight. Bet

 

[AP21]

One last question. My bad fellas. What size case y'all want. Micro, medium or large. This will help determine mother board and graphics card size

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

What's the difference between case sizes?

 

[Splackavelli]

why are pc players always trying to get people into pc gaming. " you're nobody unless you're playing gta online on pc" pc masterace, console peasants blah blah blah. look, I made my decision nearly a year ago when I shelled out 500 for a ps4 and i'm happy with it.

I don't have time to build a pc, installing fans and whatnot so that precious 1000 dollar piece of plastic with wires and circuit boards don't over heat. consoles players won't have that problem or get the red light of death if they only shut of the damn things when they are not using them like I do. all that for slightly better graphics and the ability to make iron man fly around in los santos no thanks.

1) dont start that shit fam

2) if you really want to have a legit discussion as to why I personally prefer pc over console, then we can, but dont start just spewing dumb shit. I aint forcing NOBODY to do anything, but i've read there is some interest in switching to PC on this site.

3) You talking to somebody who has played consoles EXCLUSIVELY from every generation starting with the NES, and I JUST became a PC guy in the last 2 years

4) And if you got time to watch Porn, play that shitty ass Madden football game, or any other activity that you choose to spend your time on, you have time to build a pc. Idk what you think it involves, but to say I'd NEVER built one prior to me building one, the shit took 2 hours tops. Most of the time went towards getting my OS setup, but the actual build itself took 45 min to an hr

So again, if you wanna have a real convo about it, then this is the place, but if you just wanna troll and say ignorant shit and spread misinformation, then you know how to dip out

respectfully of course

What's the difference between case sizes?

you have mini, mid, and full

couple examples of a mini. If space is an issue, this is perfect. The only downside to it might be you have difficulty (difficulty, not impossible) dealing with cord management/placement, and they have very specific motherboards that can fit in it, which may alter what type of graphics card you can pop in it.

 

[AP21]

examples of a mid. I actually own a Mid sized case. its not too big at all imo

This is mine for comparison. This is next to a 42 inch TV

 

[AP21]

couple examples of a Full tower

 

[AP21]

all of them have less expensive versions and really expensive versions, so its going to depend on your space and budget

2hrs? man fuck all that for real.

 

[AP21]

yea brah...then this aint the thread for you

if thats the only thing you took from my post, then idk what to tell you...2 hrs to build something you've NEVER built before is a long time to you?? el oh el

if you ever decide to change your mind tho, then you know where to come

 

[Melanin_Enriched]

I'll take a mid case

 

[AP21]

cool

 

[kingofkingz]

I think everyone should know how to at least build their own PC instead of just gettin the bullshit they sell u in stores

Goat thread even if u not into pc gaming just enjoy the knowledge of technical support that's being dropped
