Build AdviceNew PC build
Hey, Team.
I’m planning to upgrade to a new PC soon because Windows 10 will reach its end of life next year. My budget is about 2.5k, and I want to start with a CPU and RAM. I’ve noticed AMD is now the top option for CPUs. For games and apps, what do you suggest?
Where are you located?
Which preferred store should I purchase from?
Do you require ALL of these components with that 2500? If not, which ones can you skip?
Monitor
Operating system
Case
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Video card
Power supply
CPU cooler
Fans other than those included in the case
Boot drive
Additional drives
Do you prefer RGB lighting? Air cooling?
Check the link in your profile for new build/upgrade guidance, and bring it back here with the important details.
They will launch new CPUs and GPUs soon. It's best to begin these tasks at least a week prior to your purchase plans.
I'm located in CDN.
I require
Case
Motherboard
CPU
RAM
Video card
Power supply
CPU cooler
HD Drives
Monitor (possibly I already have one, unsure if upgrading is necessary)
Canada Computers
Amazon
Newegg
These are the places I would buy parts from.
Do you think RGB offers more benefits or is it mainly for style? I don't intend to overclock.
If I were making a purchase today with that budget, I would choose this option. The 120mm fan fits inside the back of this case for an exhaust function.
