First PC Build Suggestions?

tobiastunji · Sep 26, 2016

Wanting to build a primarily gaming computer, but I am completely new to the pc universe so I dont fully understand all the functions and such. I have a Phantom 410 case and probably going to stick with an AMD cpu (sort of on a budget). Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!

Go with an i3-6100 instead of an AMD CPU. It'll get you way better single core performance, which in most cases will help more than having more cores. Plus, you have the potential to upgrade it in the future. Can you give a specific budget? It's hard to make a build without one.

I'll assume that's USD. You can easily do something like this.
