you don't really need to /build/ a PC unless you're really set on the idea of crafting one with individualized specs. you'd otherwise do totally fine by buying an aio from a brand that isn't HP or Dell

Id say u don't have to spend 1000$ for league and overwatch lol that's overkill as f , u can play overwatch on a 600$ pc perfectly fine.

Uhm u can search on utube there are million of channels that help u out with ur first pc .


Check different products on ebay and then check how effective they are on a youtube channel . Also see how well it performs . Also pay attention to the monitor u pick .

The hassle really isn't worth the few hundred $$$ you'd save than if you just bought a PC. IMO
wrong lol, building a pc is easy and saves you a lot of money.


You need a top of the range GPU for em graphical mode, itll help you win trophies trust me.

It fits together like legos there's plenty of sites that give you a step by step guide of what to buy.

wait why didnt u include wireless network adapter?
Do not get a wireless adapter, you'll get half the speeds. Get a power line adapter.

uh... this? https://pcpartpicker.com/product/3MPfrH/deepcool-case-tesseractsw
ohh yes, i like this case.

also people are saying that the 1600 comes with a cooler and i don't need a separate one? idk whats the other separate one
most if not all cpu's come with a cooler that goes directly above the cpu chip

you can get a separate cooler that goes attached to your case if you think it'll heat up, or a liquid cooler. But, like i said, those aren't usually necessary unless you're overclocking or your gpu is the one overheating
ppl say amd heats up easily and that i should get intel i7
that's silly cause amd is the whole cpu brand and not just a specific one, but if you insist:

Please get an i5 for gaming

Do you need one? You'll get a faster and more secure connection if you don't go wireless and unless the cable would stretch torso height across the room there's no real point.

if you're not getting a separate heatsink for a $1200 computer you don't need a $1200 computer

I don't think operating system is an option if you wanna play overwatch buddy
