One day I will join the master race as well. I have the same budget. Got keyboard and all that ? . Will go buy windows os when I get all the other ?
-
Aight. Bet
-
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
-
What's the difference between case sizes?
-
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 ? 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 ? . 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 ? 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 ? 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 ? and spread misinformation, then you know how to dip out
respectfully of course -

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.
-
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
-
couple examples of a Full tower
-
all of them have less expensive versions and really expensive versions, so its going to depend on your space and budget

2hrs? man ? all that for real. -
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 -
I'll take a mid case
-
cool
-
I think everyone should know how to at least build their own PC instead of just gettin the ? 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 -
Oh i always use AMD graphic cards I've never had any issues with em unlike nividia.. mid or large towers i usually mess with incase i wanna add extra stuff but too each is own
-
here go one draft i just did. Thinking i could probably sub out a couple other things and get it a bit lower, but not by much. Including rebates and bundles, you will have spent $585.57. W/o those, its a few dollars over $600
I'ma post a couple more a lil later

Neeeeeeeeeeeeeerd...
I could never get into PC gaming to the point of building a PC. It all comes down to the games imo. -

Executionah got the game all ? up.
You can only do so much with a console I got a ps4 too but I also PC game.
My computer aint strong enough for games like GTA for PC or anything like that.. I'm thinking about copping a gaming computer or maybe ill just try to build one idk.
PC gaming is and always will be better than console gaming -
He just trolling
