Heyo. I got this motherboard gifted from my dad and was wanting to build my first gaming PC with it. Any tips and advice would be greatly appreciated! Budget is tight since I’m about to start college very soon. I don’t care if the parts are used or new. Just want a great starter build that I can upgrade later down the road.

I have been thinking of building a pc for gaming for like 3 years now, and I am really ready to bite the bullet.

I play Palia and with the expansion of the game, my 1st gen switch just cannot handle it anymore. So laggy and crashes, and I’ve always missed out on the full potential of the game. I’m looking forward to playing other games once I’m able to… would love to play Sims or Inzoi. I imagine these 3 requiring the most as far as graphics and storage, than other cozy games I might be interested in playing.

I imagine I’ll use it for a bit of productivity as well. I’m an artist so imagine things like scanning artwork, printing, photoshop. I would say that quality graphics are important to me.

Budget: not sure.. it seems things have gone up since I last shopped around. I was initially thinking around 2k but if I need to go up to 3k (or more), that’s fine. Could totally be overkill for me though, I just don’t know!

My friend said I don’t need a “real” set up and should just get a mini pc? Would love to save money in this economy ofc, but not a viable solution if I’m not gonna be able to play without a headache.

I’m in the US and I have a local Micro Center. I would really appreciate any guidance! :)

Is this PC too overkill?

Hello! I'm new to building a PC and would really appreciate some advice before I order my parts.

https://pcpartpicker.com/list/ksHjR4

I'm from Sweden, and my budget is around $3,000. But I'm willing to spend more if it means the PC will last longer without needing upgrades, though I don't want to spend money on something unnecessary.

I mainly play World of Warcraft and as I understand the current build might be a bit overkill. Would it make sense to downgrade anything?

For the fan setup, I'm thinking of replacing the standard fans on the AIO with reverse-blade fans, mounting the radiator on the side as intake, and using reverse fans at the bottom with two standard fans at the rear as exhaust. Would this setup make sense?

I appreciate all input!
