Looking to buy my first PC

Basically as the title says, I’m looking to buy a PC, but I have no idea what to get. I know a lot of people say that building your own PC is better in the long run, but I’m currently working 4 jobs so I don’t have tons of extra time to do the research/build the thing. I’d rather just buy one outright. Cost isn’t something I’m worried about, and I probably won’t use it for much else other than gaming. I’d love to hear some suggestions on what brand/type of PC I should buy :slight_smile: thanks in advance!

This guy posts threads with custom PC builds depending on budget, take a look

Honored, I am. It’s been a while since I updated the list though, so it’s mostly outdated

Personally because of the warranty, I’d get this one: https://www.hp.com/us-en/shop/ConfigureView?langId=-1&storeId=10151&catEntryId=3074457345620235323&configId=59A32AV_100020&jumpid=cs_con_nc_ns&utm_medium=cs&utm_source=ga&utm_campaign=HP-Store_US_All_CPS_All_Lgm-Ngm_AMD_Google_All_Smart-PLA&utm_content=sp&adid=&addisttype=xpla&59A32AV_100020&cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=20537730143&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_pos=&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImPKVr4e4iQMVjDIIBR0REzIYEAQYAiABEgLSSvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds

There’s a lot better subs for questions like these. Even though you don’t plan on building one, r/buildapc, r/pcmasterrace, and probably some others can still point you in the right direction

Can’t go wrong with an HP or a Dell. I think I like Dell slightly better. If you’re frugal like me, what you’re gonna want to do is keep your eye on deal websites like slickdeals or maybe Amazon lightning deals. Wait for a sale where a computer is marked down a couple hundred dollars.

What do you mean by frugal? Just trying to understand lol

Oh, just means being careful with spending. You know, looking for the best deals!

You’re right to think building it yourself is gonna be a pain in the ass that you’re not gonna have time for. It doesn’t save you any money, so really the only appeal is for street cred.
