Hi guys, a friend of fine asked if i could make him a build for his new pc, something small so he can move it around easily and not expensive, so he could have a work pc on which he could play some games (he usually play not demanding games like cs2, but he may play some heavier games from time to time) Im super out of the loop for pc's since i build mine 6 years ago some im asking some advice. I'd tend to to go with AMD both for CPU and GPU, but im open to any advice. Thank you very much!

Hi, where are you ordering from ? ( price can very even within UE ). And will your friend be using Linux or Windows ?

What's the goal of the pc, most fps imediatly or being able to upgrade down the line ?

Here is basic list (don't buy exactly that, it's just a quick exemple ). https://fr.pcpartpicker.com/list/d3BYDj

Hi! He'll be ordering from Italy. Windows.

I think mainly getting fps now, but ill add for him that a bit of flexibility for future upgrades would be nice too. Thank you very much :)

If you want I can do more research.

Some pointers if you want to do this yourself :

  • Buy reputable brand, never go for cheap no names parts
  • Never cheap out on power supply and case, thoose component are supposed to stay the longest in any build and are too important to neglect
  • List your needs before buying to manage your budget
  • Don't try to maximise performance reliability is king
  • Amazon is sadly cheaper in most case but don't discard physical stores
  • Assembling a pc is an exercice in care, you don't need fancy tools just take your time
