soulofireland said: I bought an old dell (maybe 1st gen i7) ages ago. The only thing left is the motherboard & chip. I'm thinking about upgrading and I like to future proof as much as possible. I was looking at the following:CPU: (1) Intel Core i7-10700K Comet Lake 3.8GHz Eight-Core LGA 1200 Boxed Processor ($399.99 EACH)Motherboard: (1) MSI Z490 MPG Gaming Carbon WiFi Intel LGA 1200 ATX Motherboard ($269.99 EACH)RAM: (1) G.Skill Ripjaws V 64GB (2 x 32GB) DDR4-3600 PC4-28800 CL18 Dual Channel Desktop Memory Kit F4-3600C18D-64GVK - Black ($249.99 EACH)CPU & motherboard will definitely work together. The only way I could add the memory was to disable the compatibility filter on the Micro Center PC builder (which is cool. I've never used it before). Anyone know why this memory would be incompatible?

He picked out a bunch of parts and I was wondering if they were compatible. Let me know if this is a good start, and is liquid cooling necessary?

I'm not Tony, but maybe I can help The 10900k doesn't come with a CPU cooler. So you'll need to get one of those. I'm a "fan" of the Noctua NH-D15 in black. It performs really well for me. Cool and quiet. It also comes with some thermal compound. I'm pretty sure it's compatible with the LGA1200 socket. 99% certain, though I could be wrong

jeff_strong said: For 4K60p DCI HDR video editing and gaming performance in mind, what CPU would be best for me? Budget of about 1500 for CPU and MOBO. I was thinking about the 2990wx thread-ripper, or 3960/70x. Any recommendations?
FireMaster9360 said: I'm Looking to build my first PC, I have about a $500 budget. I have the peripherals, I just need the PC. I want to play games like Rainbow 6. What parts do you recommend?
Cal said: I want to build a PC that will be able to handle gaming and streaming simultaneously. Since I am a bit of a beginner I will not be playing games with super graphics but would like to get about 120+ of frames while streaming. I am pretty much a beginner and am learning about this. I am looking to build a PC for about $1,500. I am looking at the ASUS VP249GR 23.8" Full HD 144Hz HDMI DP VGA FreeSync Low Motion Blur IPS LED Gaming Monitor but please provide feedback on that too. Thank you for your insight.
Cal said: I was thinking up to $1500 for the PC. Then the monitor, mouse and keyboard would be about $300-$400, in addition to the PC so a total of under $2000 for everything.
Isaac23 said: Hi my name is IsaacI want to start gaming on pc and streaming as well but I don't have a PC but I want to build one that can run games like Apex or Fps or any other games. I just don't know where to start and how to build one. So I was hoping you guys can give me some pointers or a list of the parts that would help me with the build. Please and thank you

Please and thank you First things first, it's a long read, but you should go through our How to Choose Your Parts guide. There's a lot of information we cover about what sorts of things to look for when choosing your parts, and what kind of parts fall into different performance categories. The most important thing is determining what kind of budget you have to work with. A budget gaming system is going to be $500-600 and that will run most any game at 1080p/60FPS, depending on what graphics settings you use. Do you know what kind of budget you're working with?

It's early.Under $1000 is pretty good territory for a budget to mid-range system. I'd do something like this: https://www.microcenter.com/site/content/custom-pc-builder.aspx?load=9697fd4d-24c3-4947-a725-5e87e83a0c36The Ryzen 5 3600 is just a good all-around value for the performance you get, and the RTX 2060 will run Apex and other similar games very well. In Apex legends you should be able to get 100+ FPS at 1080p and high settings, you can probably push it over 144 if you tweak your graphics settings the right way.

Isaac23 said: One last question: Does it matter what monitor I get for this build?
Art said: Hello I was looking into building a pc that would allow me to play games like MW2 at 1080 comfortably. WIth maybe moving into 1440 when i get a better monitor. My budget would be around 900$

You can game at 1440p with it but you'd probably have to lower your settings a bit to get high FPS, depending on the game. The Ryzen 5 3600 is just an all around great value at its price and is my general recommendation for this tier of build.Keep in mind this doesn't include the cost of Windows, which is an extra $120-140. If you factor that cost in, I would jump down to a Ryzen 3 3300X for the CPU and a GTX 1660 Super for the video card.

Nice, i might be able to shell out a little more for the build, I've seen msi 2060 super going for 370$ would that be worth it when it comes to gaming at 1440?

I'm mainly worried about the parts not fitting together and the custom builder doesn't have all my parts.
