What budget are we looking at? What games do you play? Do you any peripherals? A monitor resolution already picked out? Will you be working on the machine, too, or just gaming? What kind of environment are you in? Do you want/need anything special or have any access requirements?

These are the questions that help the configuration gurus help you build the best computer for you.

Hi DR00, to add to what Snaike said:

Building a pc is kinda like racing cars. Before you know what kinda car to bring you need to know what type of race, is it Nascar, ist f1? Is it drag racing? Each requires a different type of race car.

Your use is the type of race, folding at home pc is different from autodesk pc and both of those are different from gaming pc.

For gaming the native resolution or your monitor is the race. A pc for 1080p is a bit different from a pc for 4k.(depending on the game)

How it works is first we figure out what is the native resolution of your monitor, second we figure out what types of games. Once we know those 2 we can figure out what kinda graphic power (video card/gpu) you need to max that game in that resolution. Once we know the gpu we need that will help us figure out what power supply (psu) and what motherboard (mobo) we need.

From there its easy, for gaming a good quad core cpu (processor), 8 to 16 gb of ram, a good ssd and we are done.

So as Snaike said what is the native resolution of your monitor, what games you gonna play and what is your budget
