Need Advice On Gaming PC

To start it off, I have 0 knowledge of anything related to computer building, but I know I want a new one.
Currently all I play is old school Runescape, which obviously does not use a ton of CPU, but I would like a computer where I could play 3-4 clients at once with no lag at all, whilst having Skype and twitch, youtube, netflix or whatever, etc. open at the same time. Just looking not only for a price range but an example of a great build for this, thanks a ton(if you could include monitor brands as well I'd be blessed, I plan on buying a few).

EDIT: I also would like it to be compatible for games such as H1Z1 and Rocket League

-thanks

 

You can try acquiring some knowledge of PC building on Youtube from LinusTechTips, he has some videos on building PCs for mid-range & high-end. Take a look at some of his reviews on the recently released GPUs and 6th Gen Intel processors and try to gauge a feel for yourself.

Link to the build logs which he has made so far:

Go on youtube and type build your own gaming pc, get the required hardware and software and you're good to go!

If you could give me your price-range, or maximum you're looking to spend I could help you out. It's really hard to just freeball a suggestion because it's hard to tell how much you're willing to actually spend.

Also, speaking from experience with friends, make sure you're fully committed to not wanting to play any games past those when making this. It would be better in the long run to spend more money on your initial build so you can keep it longer opposed to buying cheaper components and having to upgrade them more frequently.

 

Around the 600-1k range, and yea I definitely want to make it so I can spend more money now so I have to upgrade it less in the future

 

This should be able to play a few OSBuddy clients and browse the web, and when you're not doing that it can run Rocket League or H1Z1

If you can spend like $1500 i would get this as it'll last quite sometime

thanks a ton, keep this all in mind

 

What games do you play besides runescape? I have a computer I bought for $600 that easily does what you want from asus

If you only gonna play 07 u don't need more than 700$ budget.

 

I highly recommend both of the builds that iHQ gave you, probably would have been very similar to what I would have recommended. I think the 1070 is honestly powerful enough that you wouldn't need a 1080 if you're sticking to 1080p resolution, but you never know how affordable 1440p and 4k panels will be a year or two from now.

 

Look into the RX-480. New $199 GPU being released tomorrow, supposedly between a 980 and 980 in power.

 

What would I replace that with in the builds that have been recommended? I literally know nothing about computer builds

 

I would highly recommend the second build IHQ posted, Not only is it good for runescape but it lasts a long time and can run most of the other games at 1080P probally on very high - ultra. Unless you 100% sure your only gonna play runescape thats the build you should get

 

The graphics card. It would be the 970 in the first link, and the 1080 in the second.

 

thanks, and for coolants would you recommend:
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing CPU Cooler

or something better as that seems cheap

 

That's the exact CPU cooler I've got man and it works incredibly well, comparable to watercooling your PC. Only thing is that it looks ugly as hell but realistically who cares if your PC can smash anything you throw at it.

 

Do you think assembling it would be difficult to learn how to do?

 

Not at all man. Not going to lie, that CPU cooler you linked is a hassle to install but everything else is like legos. There is only one spot for it all so it's really straight forward.

I'd suggest you watch these two videos here,

I pretty much sat down and built my PC step by step along with the second video and didn't have any troubles at all.

 

will do, appreciate this a ton
