So match making will put you with potatos and keyboard turners. No dramaMy skills are rusty and shit. I won a CS comp 20 years ago and it's been downhill ever since.

Nothing locking yourself in a room with your favourite game for a few weeks wouldn't fix. Get on it sirMy skills are rusty and shit. I won a CS comp 20 years ago and it's been downhill ever since.
Series x for sure.Are there any xbox experts around? My son wants one for an upcoming 11th birthday a series S fits the budget, or should wait and save for a series X? It's not going on a 4k screen any time soon.
The AMD 5700g APU will cream the GTX 1030 at about the same price and use less power and create less heat doing so. If you get dedicated graphics later, you will also have a faster and cooler CPU. If you are worried about display port, there are decent hdmi to dp dongles for sale on Amazon.I'm looking at building my first ever PC,
Not really for gaming, but I do need to run my new ultrawide monitor. It seemed like a cheap gaming build would be the best way to make sure the graphics will be compatible and will also be able to use Display Port cable instead of HDMI.
Can anyone who knows anything see any glaring problems, mistakes or weakness in this build list?
I'm half tempted to spend $300 to go up to a 1660 graphics card and another $100 to go i5? I think that might be overkill?
If something doesn't work I am risking less money when every component is under $150
True... but they were the most helpful guys ever !Msy aren't really competitive anymore.
Msy are good to deal with, and a big plug to Techfast as well. I have found Mwave to be pretty good when dealing with warranty as well. Amazon have great delivery but you are well and truly on your own for warranty.True... but they were the most helpful guys ever !
I have bought a load of stuff off them over the years but walk into the local store, 2 new Asian blokes behind the counter who have never seen me before. They will plug your computer in and sort your issue out, "how much mate"... "nothing"
Was a hard understand between the Irish-Asian accent breakdown but those blokes know their shit.
I usually upgrade something just out of appreciation. My first SSD came out of thanks.
A few other people suggested that I'd be fine without a separate graphics card, but get a better processor.The AMD 5700g APU will cream the GTX 1030 at about the same price and use less power and create less heat doing so.

I tend to prefer Gigabyte for motherboards.
get ram with better timings (Patriot Viper Steel 3200 cl16) on Amazon.
a crappy PSU can fry your computer, and burn down your house.
Cool. I was just about to post this promotion https://www.ple.com.au/Products/647...4-APU-Retail-Box---With-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler.A few other people suggested that I'd be fine without a separate graphics card, but get a better processor.
I ended up going with;
i5 12400 with Graphics
Gigabyte B660M DS3H AX DDR4
Corsair Vengeance LPX Ryzen 16GB (2x8GB), PC4-25600 (3200MHz) DDR4
A faster WD SN570 500gb SSD
A better semi-modular 500w gold PSU from Be-quiet
Silverstone PS15 RGB case
Thanks, you helped me decide to get better RAM and PSU, and choosing gigabyte for motherboard
This ended up being $841, so $120 more than the i3/B560M/gt1030
Now to figure out what to do with it all when it arrives
I looked at the 5700g, even that deal is $80 more than the 12400, which put me off, and I've always had intel.Cool. I was just about to post this promotion https://www.ple.com.au/Products/647...4-APU-Retail-Box---With-Wraith-Stealth-Cooler.
Don't ask me! I don't know if what I'm building will be good or not.Help! I am a complete noob and haven't built a computer for 20+ years but have been trawelling through these posts recently... My partner needs a tower type thingy for working from home..she bought a dell all in one pc with a 27inch screen during EOFY sales, but it was complete poo and wouldn't let her run the resolution she requires for her work, so it got sent back. So she has now bought a 4k screen (similar to what she has at work, runs at 2560x1440minimum) but obviously needs something to plug into it. She does scientific medical mumbo jumbo analysis (graphs and squiggly lines and obviously lots of text too) and needs clarity and high res.
If someone wants to point me in the right direction it would be much appreciated,
I'm not really sure if I need a separate graphics card, but I think something similar specced to what @andrew9 posted would probably do the job ..
Happy to have a crack at building it, but if there is something already together that doesn't have 16 multi coloured fans on it that would probably do too...
Cheers.
You had me at microtransactionsMicrotransactions, bugs aplenty, and Psycho AI.
Yay...
You have to factor in that a laptop graphics card is almost always a watered down version of the desktop one. Don't get me wrong, I'm a fan of a gaming laptop and I prefer the versatility, but a 3060 mobile is not a 3060.Don't ask me! I don't know if what I'm building will be good or not.
I was almost going to get one of these ASUS ROG STRIX things from officeworks, reviews say they're not bad, but they're ugly and not that cheap.

I kind of benchmarked my build off it, if I add the same graphics card I will have a very similar spec, not that I'll need it.
Unless I missed something it seems like a laptop is the best value for general use.
I'm building a desktop so I don't add to my pile of old laptops any more, I hope to just upgrade components as needed instead
