So, I'm currently planning to build a pc from basically scratch as my laptop just isn't cutting it atm.
First some info on the build...
There are 2 possible budgets I'm trying to work around (higher budget is still a maybe at this point in time, which is why I was hoping someone would offer me some help on being parts for both budgets.)
Main reason: This PC will be gaming first, after that its basically just a normal pc for everyday usage, nothing special.
Time frame: Looking to buy this pc in around a week or 2.
Things I need: Everything except the keyboard, OS, headphones and a hard drive. (You'll see exactly what I need in a list I'll show in a bit.)
Overclocking: Not completely sure on this one, I've never overclocked before, (actually never built a PC before so there is that..) I would like to try it out however.
Location: USA, more specifically PA in the lehigh valley.
First budget ranges from 750 to just over 800. This budget is a little bit more mold-able and this is a rough estimation on what I was thinking on getting:
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/QR9R3b (The 1060 is a placeholder for the 1660ti, which I'm not sure when will become available to buy... Any recommendations on what to change or replace would be very appreciated!)
Higher budget is just a tiny bit over 1000 dollars. (Much more strict, cannot go over say maybe 1035 dollars at most.)
https://pcpartpicker.com/list/TrRqnH (Another look at what I was thinking, if you have any advice or replacements please tell me!)
Couple of last notes: I generally prefer nvidia/intel builds so unless there is a really good deal out there I most likely would not get an amd build.
If you can manage to make these builds it would be nice to have them in a pcpartpicker list, but thats up to you, any help is appreciated.
Lastly, if I could afford both of these systems, what would be the advantage of getting one over the other? Would it be worth the extra 200ish dollars?
Thanks for taking the time to help me, any help is appreciated!
