Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

  1. Decide your budget
  2. Go to logicalincrements.com
  3. Find the tier that matches your budget
  4. Buy that
  5. Enjoy your PC

Once you get a feel for building and owning, then you can start making more informed choices about what you really need.

Yeah, even with years of experience, LI has been my go-to for speccing out a build. They update pretty regularly and they offer tiers even without dGPUs that'll still hold up for last-gen gaming. Good way to introduce people to the basics of computing hardware.

Thanks for that link. I've never heard of that site and it's really informative.
