My current computer (see point 5.) is only noisy when gaming and at 8-9 years old it is getting old .
1. Do you want to play on PC? If the answer is yes, then what?
Yes, from time to time, probably. 1-2x per week: CS:GO/CS2 and DotA 2… Hogwarts of Legacy/Diablo 4 would be cool but it’s actually 99% CS/Dota and I won’t be playing anything else in the future either.
2. Do you want to use the computer to edit photos/music/videos or something similar? As a hobby or are you a professional? What software will you use?
no
3. Do you have special requirements or wishes (specific brands and manufacturers, overclocking, a particularly quiet PC, RGB lighting, …)?
Not really, the optical RGB would be great but I think you should spend more money. It must be quiet when playing, you currently think I live in the airport.
4. How many and how many screens do you want to use? Model, resolution, refresh rate (hertz)? Gsync / FreeSync? How many FPS do you want to see?
Currently using the LG 35WN65C, a second small screen is planned. I’ll probably get a 144/240hz and 4k monitor but for now I’m content with LG. CS2 should be 144fps (I don’t have a monitor yet but I’ll probably get one again).
5. Do you still have an old computer, parts of which can be reused?
(please with links or exact model name)
I currently have the following setup (8-9 yrs old): i5-4590 + R9 280x + 8GB RAM. He would give the entire computer to my brother.
6. How much money do you want to spend?
600 € – 800 €, depending on how worthy it is.
7. When should I buy a PC?
In time, over the next two months.
8. Do you want to assemble the computer yourself or have it assembled (by the shop or by helpers (list as sticky))?
I assembled the existing computer myself, it was really stressful as a layman, but I trusted myself to put the new computer together (if needed, get outside help).
9. Would you like to stream your content using your PC (eg via Twitch/OBS)? If so, what games/content? Do you already have the parts to set up the stream? (multiple monitors, microphone, camera, broadcast device, …)?
Broadcasting via OBS/Twitch would be nice (CS/Dota 2), but it’s really just for friends, nothing pro or anything.
thank you In advance!
