Need help with not overbuilding a gaming PC

[joelynnpamplin]

Figure someone here can figure out the stuff I can't.

Goal is to get a new PC by my birthday/Xmas (2 weeks apart), as my Alienware's graphic card is outdated (According to WoW), and it's running out of memory (500gb ssd), though the 16gb Ram is solid.

Now as far as what I do, Do have WoW and FF14, also play FONV and plenty of fan games and I got an extensive iTunes Library, plus I design stuff for my stories on there.

What I wanna do though is be able to play more games, more classics like FO3, VTMB, and other games, but have it run seemlessly and without hiccups (NV is it's own story, as you know no amount of mods can fix it's buggy nature), so with all that said, hows the build look, what can I add or subtract to things without compromise (Definitely want the max performance and storage)

Thanks for taking a look and customizing the build a head of time,

it is a powerful computer. You can even fly it into space xD. Until there was a new update in WOW, I could somehow play it on minimal parameters. But right now the only thing I can do is to spend time in minecraft.buzz. Thankfully I like this game. Btw, you could choose a slightly worse graphics card and focus on RAM. You will save yourself from the drawdown in FPS this way. It feels more strongly at the maximum requirements. And of course, the price will decrease significantly.

Thank you for sharing your story.

Whenever I'm building a computer I find out the budget first, and then I build the computer to that budget. Usually, I'll get the bare essentials down, case, SSD, decent motherboard, processor, 16GB ram, then I spend as much as possible on the graphics card, and whatever power supply will be enough for it. If you buy a good power supply, it should work for a while, and unless you're running 2-3 video cards or they change plugs in the future, it's a good investment. BUY MODULAR on the power supply to save yourself from hiding a ton of power cables you don't need. I needed it for a more comfortable game in CSGO. I was looking for a PC that could withstand the game and the best csgo skin trading website.

No matter how powerful your PC is, it will no longer be relevant in a couple of years.

In all the time I've spent with my PC, I've learned that the most important thing is not the processor and graphics card but the RAM and SSD. That directly affects the speed of your PC, and you should pay the most attention to these two components. If you buy a slightly cheaper graphics card, it won't affect your performance. It won't work that way with RAM. Let's take my situation and the Minecraft game, for example. Until I added some RAM, I couldn't play online servers properly. All I had to do to increase performance was buy 8GB of RAM.
