PC Building Help?
8 years ago
Just like the title says, can anyone help me build a PC? I'm looking for something that can run modern games like Fallout 4, ESO, GTA V etc. as well as the Adobe CC Suite.
I've looked around online for building guides and it's so overwhelming when they all suggest different things ;;;;w;;;; I'm ashamed to say as a web designer that I'm completely clueless when it comes to these things heh... but on days when I have to work at home, it's so had to when this 8yr old laptop chugs when running photoshop. Plus I have a lot of games on Steam that were gifted to me over the years that I can't play!
I have about $1500 to play around with!
If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd be so grateful <3

And also, which kind of programs do you usually use? :>
I use Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC a lot. c:
Here's a comprehensive list of every part you need!
It's effectively what the desolator58 said but convenient.
The GPU could easily go up from RX 480 to a 1070 or 1080 if you please, and the CPU should chug through whatever you want!
I should note the CPU isn't out quite yet.
Thanks a mil for the tips and link! ❤❤❤
I basically just use PCPP and go with the most popular pieces for a given price! It also has automatic fill-in tolls for different price ranges :D that list seems more than adequate though!
vid card: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 1070
memory: CORSAIR Vengeance LP 32GB (4 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866
cpu: AMD FX-8320 Vishera 8-Core 3.5 GHz (4.0 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+

'old spinny harddrive', regular SATA 500GB something
And that was from when I 'upgraded' to be able to play Skyrim. :D Even though dirt cheap and ancient by today's standards, runs Fallout 4, Just Cause 3, Hitman all just fine. Everything except Mass Effect Andromeda that requires a bit more CPU and graphics card. n.n
Are there any stores near you? (Micro Center, Fry's)
I could help you some, but it'd probably be easier to do with chatting than with notes/comments X3
This should give you everything you need ^x^

Note that the H440 case in my list above doesn't support an internal optical drive, you'd have to get an external USB one if you go with that case. If you want a case that can fit an optical drive the Phanteks Enthoo Pro is solid and probably a bit cheaper than the H440 too. :>
I think I finally got the hang of this site! Probably will end up going with the other case you recommended so I can put in the optical drive :p Hopefully the site is correct and it works when I finally buy everything!
