Part VIII: Building the PC

-

 


Finally the day has come to share my complete gaming build. It has been a long journey due to the delay in getting the latest parts. I started buying the parts from August and finally managed to get everything by mid-December.

The components that really tested my patience were the AMD Zen 3 processor and the Nvidia RTX 3000 series graphics card with the latter being really difficult to get. Getting the Nvidia Founders Edition graphics card in India is really difficult as the only official seller is RPTech India. I had to wait for more than a month to finally get the order form from them. But after placing the order, they were really quick in getting it delivered.

With everything installed and setup, it has been around a month that I have been using my gaming computer. My overall experience with this PC is great. Everything works really smooth. I have no issues in any games that I have played till now. This is my first gaming PC so that could be the reason why I am finding it to be amazing.

I did get some new games to play on my new machine apart from PES 2021. I purchased Assassin's Creed Valhalla and Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I have played both games on Ultra settings and it works really well on my pc. I also completed the main story of Shadow of Tomb Raider within a week 😜. AC Valhalla has still a lot left to be completed as it is a really long game.

I will share more information about my gaming pc in later posts but now it is time to check out my new gaming machine build video:

Part VII: Deciding the storage (SSD/HDD)

Storage storage and more storage! No matter how much storage we have it is never going to be sufficient. This is especially true when we have a lot of games and videos stored in our PCs. The use of online streaming platforms and improved availability of good internet speeds have greatly reduced the need to store videos offline but games keep on increasing in size. The recent games like Assassin's Creed Valhalla requires more than 50 GB of storage space whereas Cyberpunk 2077 needs more than 70 GB. Having said that, to make our PC work great does not need huge amounts of storage. We can have our system running great even with a 128 GB storage space. Windows 10 requires around 32 GB of storage space which leaves us with more than 90 GB of free space. Of course, some storage space will be used for other applications like web browser and document editing software. But we will still have at least 65-75 GB of free storage space. For photos and videos we can make use of external drives w...

Part V: Deciding the cabinet

When looking for PC cabinets, there are a lot of options for different budget segments to choose from. But which one is for you depends on what kind of system you are building, the kind of looks you prefer and the price point you are targeting. Since I am looking to build a gaming system, the most important thing for me would be the case airflow. It is always great to have a good airflow for any kind of system but is very important in heavy workloads such as gaming, content creation, etc. Then comes the build quality which is also important but depends heavily on how much you are willing to spend on it. There a lot of cases which provide great looks and pricing but not all provide a great build quality. There are some cases which have a great build quality but looks old school. So you have to choose the one which has the perfect balance based on your taste. Then comes the aesthetics which is not that important but for a gaming rig anyone would prefer a good looking component. I would ...
