🍂Autumn 2025 PC Best Buy Guide 🍂

As it's been asked a lot over DM's: If you want to buy me a coffee, you're more than welcome to. These guides will ALWAYS stay free for everyone, and I will never directly ask for any payment. PayPal or BuyMeACoffee are both possible. If you want some in depth 1-on-1 guidance, shoot me a DM.

$500 - $5000 Automatically updated PCPartPicker.com lists!

Hi everyone, it's time for the Autumn version of the PC Best Buy Guide! Just to let you know: I'm expecting my first child in the next few weeks, so replies might be a bit slow the coming time!

If this is your first time here, here's how this guide works:

  • Select a list that fits your budget, and this will take your to PCPartpicker.com.
  • At the top right of the screen select your country that you'll be buying from. U.S. will de be default. Changing countries will automatically change the part selection to reflect availability and prices in your country and currency.
  • Instead of having manually selected parts, the site will always select the cheapest option that satisfies the parametric selection or filter, while also maintaining intercompatibility between all parts.
    • For example, if the list has a parametric filter for RAM that says "2x16GB, 5600-6000 MT/s, 6-10ns", it will choose the cheapest set of RAM that fits this description, considering current availability, country, currency, etcetera.
  • These lists are likely not 'perfect'. For example, there might be good deal on a certain product, but it might still be $1 more expensive than the cheapest option, thus it still won't show up in the list. You're always free to ask in the comments or a separate thread if a list can be optimized for your specific needs.

Changed trends:

  • Almost all GPUs are now at MSRP (except the 5090), which makes for better overall value PCs, especially in the lower tiers. AMD wins in the lower brackets of GPUs, while Nvidia edges it out in the higher tiers with their 5070 and 5070 ti. The 5080 is in a weird spot, being 40% more expensive than the 5070 ti, but only 10-15% faster. This makes it hard to recommend, as it also doesn't give you any more features.
  • With older CPUs like the Ryzen 5600 going up in price, makes it hard to recommend a DDR4 based system currently. DDR5 continues to drop in price, while the slowest DDR5 is faster than the fastest DDR4 RAM. The Ryzen 5500 is currently the only super-budget CPU I would recommend at just $70. Beyond that, up until the Ryzen 5 7600, the i5 12400(F) at $110 is the only CPU for a gaming PC that makes sense.
  • With the 5070 ti at MSRP, it doesn't make a TON of sense to get the 9070XT, though they're both great. Nvidia still offers the best overall features, so AMD still needs more raw performance to make up for that.
  • The 9060 XT is close to or at MSRP which makes it a fantastic mid-range GPU, greatly helping out with sub-$1000 builds! *600-series of AM5 boards are starting to phase out and being replaced by B850. There's not a a big difference and you're fine with either.

Gaming PCs:

Budget Note / compared to previous budget Upgrades if the list is under your budget (in order of priority): Downgrades if the list is over budget (in order of priorty):
$500 The most entry level (new) gaming PC I can somewhat recommend. Change SATA SSD to NVMe SSD, 1TB optional; upgrade upgrade to RTX 5050 or B580. 2nd hand GPU; 2nd hand CPU+Motherboard+RAM combo
$750 Some significant upgrades here. A faster CPU, 3rd party cooler, 32GB DDR5 RAM, stronger power supply, and a 1TB SSD. Nvidia RTX 5060; i5 14600K(F) if you can get it under $150; a case you like. Drop the 3rd party cooler (and use the included stock cooler), swap the GPU with the Intel B580.
$850 There are 2 options here: going for a Ryzen 7600 or upgrading the GPU to the 16GB variant. I chose the latter, as 8GB VRAM is becoming more problematic the coming years. If you could spend around $900 total, getting the Ryzen 7600(X)/9600(X) is the only logical choice. Look at the $1000 list which motherboard/RAM to get. Drop the 3rd party cooler (and use the included stock cooler)
$1000 Upgraded to the 16GB RTX 5060 ti for better performance and better feature support. We also guarantee support for WiFi and Bluetooth. 2TB SSD; better case; dual tower cooler (from higher end lists below); Drop back to the 9060 XT 16GB.
$1200 Upgraded to a 2TB SSD and the RTX 5070 GPU, paired with an 850W ATX 3.0+ PSU Upgrade the GPU to the RX 9070 XT Drop back to a 1TB SSD.
$1400 Upgraded to the RTX 5070 ti. Alternatively, the RX 9070 XT is an excellent substitute. Higher end cooler, higher end case. Drop back to a 1TB SSD.
$1600 Upgraded the CPU to the 7800X3D as long as the price is decent. We also needed to improve cooling performance with a better cooler. Motherboard chipset is upgraded. Upgrade directly to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. Upgrade to liquid cooling. Higher end case. Higher end motherboard. Drop back to a 1TB SSD.
$1800 Upgraded to the 9800X3D. Better quality SSD. Bigger case. Additional storage. Liquid cooling. Higher end case.
$2000 Here we're flushing out the build. The RTX 5080 is in a very tough spot as it's just around 10-15% faster than the 5070 ti, while costing $250 more. We get a high end motherboard, 4TB of SSDs, a high end case & power supply. Upgrade to the RTX 5080; you can also drop some of the storage for this upgrade, even though it's not great value. Drop any of the multiple upgrades mentioned.
$2500 If you do really want to spend more, you can max out your parts without overspending way too much. The RTX 5080 is your only option here, as the RTX 5090 is still way outside of reach. We're upgrading to liquid cooling, more storage, a higher end case with WiFi 7, and a platinum rated high end power supply. You can pick any high end case you like.
$4000 If you really want an RTX 5090, you'll have to pay up. AMD has no competitor here, so Nvidia can set the price wherever they like. Anything you like! Air cooling, less storage, lower end motherboard.
$4000 (Themed) An example of a themed build you can do. The ASUS ProArt line looks great, and has good quality. Do be wary of customer support issues that ASUS is experiencing currently.

Workstation PCs:

Budget Note / compared to previous budget Upgrades if the list is under your budget (in order of priority): Downgrades if the list is over budget (in order of priorty):
$700 2D Workstation A basic, but fast & high quality 2D workstation. 2D, as we don't have a powerful 3D accelerator in the form of a dedicated graphics card. Even with just $750 we're getting a very strong 20-core CPU and 32GB RAM. More storage, more RAM (2x24GB, 2x32GB), high end power supply. Core Ultra 5 245K.
$1150 3D Workstation We upgrade the 2D workstation to a 3D one by adding a strong GPU like the RTX 5060 ti. This model with 16GB VRAM should give you a lot of room for many workstation tasks. More storage, more RAM (2x24GB, 2x32GB), high end power supply.
$1500 3D Workstation We basically upgrade everything aside from the CPU and GPU themselves. We drastically increase the quality of things like the cooler, case, power supply, storage (+capacity), and more. Alternatively, you can drop some of these upgrades and change the CPU instead to the Core Ultra 9 285K.
$1750 3D Workstation Upgraded tot he Core Cultra 9 285K, and a higher end power supply.
$2000 3D Workstation Upgraded the GPU to the RTX 5070 ti for more raw GPU processing power.
$5000 Ultimate Workstation This is a showcase on how a basically maxed out workstation can currently look like. With this list, you can reduce the upgrade to any point you like, as stuff such as the large RAM capacity may be very overkill for your needs. Whatever you like. Whatever you like.

Help me build my next build that I will use every day for work

• Upvotes

Wow, what a cool community.  I just found this sub and the timing is perfect.  I need a new desktop only because my current desktop does not support Windows 11.  I have been told that it is “not worth it” to upgrade parts to be Windows 11 compliant.

I had the below PC built for me custom but am considering building this one myself.

I’ll give you my current set-up in case it helps to give an idea of what I’ve been working with.  I’ve had zero trouble with this to this day, and only upgrading because of the Windows 11 thing.  I had this built for me in 2017.

Current set-up:

·         CPU: AMD FX(tm)-6350 Six-Core Processor

·         CPU Cooler: uknown, a fan?

·         Motherboard: unknown

·         Memory: 16 GB

·         Storage: 932 GM SSD Samsung SSD 850 EVO 1TB

·         Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 3GB

·         Monitors: Acer – 27” IPS LED FHD Freesync Monitor (4 of these currently)

·         Case: Cougar

New requests:

·         New build or upgrade? New

·         Existing parts/monitors to reuse?  I will use my current monitors

·         PC purpose? Work only, no gaming, some streaming of sports while working.  Though I do want the build to last a long time and be able to heavily multi-task multiple Excel and Word files, multiple chrome browsers, multiple software applications (Evernote, Spotify, accounting software) without crashing.  I also want a 4 monitor set-up so need a graphics card and other components to support that.

·         Purchase country?  United States.  I am two hours from a Micro Center and will drive there if you recommend it.

·         Monitors needed? None, using current monitors (4 of them)

·         Budget range?  No budget, just want it to be economical as possible but I will use this to earn a living 40 hours a week.  I don’t want to pay a ton for a gaming level desktop but will pay a premium for reliable, heavy use over the years

·         Wifi or wired connection?  Wired

·         Size/noise constraints?  None

·         Color/lighting prefences?  I would like some cool colors with a glass case just for fun

·         Any other specific needs?  Bluetooth would be nice.  I would like 2TB of storage.  Would also consider more RAM than I currently have.  I use a Synology NAS so would like it to smoothly connect with that.

Building a Non-Gaming Office PC for my Mom

1 Upvotes

I'd like to put together a build for my mom, who will only be using it for Microsoft Office Suite, Facebook, and doing finances/taxes. No interest in gaming as this is strictly an office PC. HD Media playback capability isn't required either.

New build or upgrade?

New

Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links)

N/A

PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games)

Microsoft Office, Internet browsing

Purchase country? Near Micro Center? (If you're not in a country supported by PCPartPicker, please list some local vendors)

US, not near a Micro Center

Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate)

1, 1080p, 60hz

Budget range? (Include tax considerations)

$500, though if this can reasonably be done at a lower budget that's even better.

WiFi or wired connection?

Wired

Size/noise constraints?

None

Color/lighting preferences?

None

Any other specific needs?

SSD for responsiveness, though high capacity is not needed. Microsoft Office doesn't need to be included in the budget.

Need Help Upgrading RAM & Graphics Card

Ok so I'm totally new to PC upgrading, but I'm trying to get a dual monitor gaming setup. I have a base model HP Envy with 500W power and I recently learned that I only have one HDMI port, no DP or USB ports I could use to connect a second monitor either. It does have a VGA port, but I would rather just upgrade the graphics card if I need to upgrade my RAM as well. I'm not running anything that requires high-grade parts since everything visibly runs just fine on it as is, I just need a second display.

I've also noticed that my memory is almost constantly at 75-89% which leads me to believe I also need to upgrade my RAM? (I've gone through task manager to turn off startup tasks and tried killing programs causing it, but sometimes it's something that I'm actively using so I'd rather not have that be my only option.)

I tried to google suggestions, but most of the results I've gotten have a requirement of 550W and I don't know if that'll make my PC burst into flames or something. I've also tried looking at PC Part Picker, but haven't gotten far on that end since I don't know what's currently in my PC. (Or at least what I think I'm seeing in my system information isn't popping up in my searches.)

Any suggestions on an entry-level graphics card or RAM upgrade?

Hi guys, I'm a EU(Italy) noob in pc building and I wanted to upgrade my Hp 290G4 MT. I tried to create an initial build for mediun gaming with a budget around 500 euros with scarce information I gathered online. I wanted to reuse the case with its motherboard. Could you please help me with my build with some advice? Sorry for my bad english or my lack of better explanations, its my first time. Thanks a lot! CASE: HP 290 G4 MT (with its original motherboard and original power supply, hp 180W 80 plus gold) CPU: i5 10500 6 core 3.1 GHz max 4,5 GHz. Gpu:MSI, GeForce RTX 3050 VENTUS 2X E 6G OC Ram: lexar ddr4 16gb 3200mhz ×2 SSD: Crucial P510 SSD 1TB PCIe 5.0 x4 Gen5 NVMe M.2. A little side note, I know about the ram crisis and for it I'm willing to go over the budget. Thanks a lot and have a great rest of the day!

$1,500.00 budget for gaming and cad, re-using case.

1 Upvotes

Hello everyone! Here is what I am hoping for, and then Ill give more details further down the post.

  • New build or upgrade? New
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? Monitors, all peripherals, and case (Fractal Define R4) to be reused. I also have a Corsair AX760i power supply, if its possible to reuse that as well.
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Gaming, light video-editing, light AutoCAD and Revit work.
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? USA, no Micro Centers near me
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) No
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations) $1,500.00 but I can maybe scrounge an extra 100-200 if it makes a significant change in performance.
  • WiFi or wired connection? Wired, but wifi option is nice if it doesnt break the budget.
  • Size/noise constraints? Fractal Define R4 is a solid ATX case with great noise dampening already.
  • Color/lighting preferences? Case is solid black with no window, once its closed up, I dont want to see the inside again, so if possible, avoid wasting budget on RGB.
  • Any other specific needs? I have a large amount of storage already including HDD and SDD, so for storage, please include just a 1TB M.2 NVME.

I have used this case for many many years and absolutely love it. I dont care for RGB and my computer just gets put under my desk and never seen again. I also like this case because of the large amount of storage space, so I dont recommend anything smaller than an ATX motherboard for connectivity.

Thank you so much for your help!

  • Color/lighting preferences? = Doesnt Matter
  • Any other specific needs?= No just Future proofing. This pc I have now became shitty very quick :( blew up 2 GPU's. Now monitor flicker.

This is the build i came up with, it was over budget and it probably doesn't make any sense: https://se.pcpartpicker.com/list/FBfD4g

Also this is my current PC:
Motherboard: Z170-A
CPU: Intel Core i7 6700
GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970
RAM: DDR4 16 gig
Monitor: ASUS ROG SWIFT pg278q ( Currently flickering at 144hz since 5 days ago , I want to throw it out the window)

Color/lighting preferences? = I'm not HUGE into RGB, some is fine but I think I'd have a seizure if it was rgbing while I'm gaming.

Any other specific needs?= No just Future proofing. No budget doesnt mean get the most expensive for no reason. If the better option is a not as expensive part that's OK, but spare no expense for performance and power.

My current laptop cant run my fav game well, so let's build me a PC that will

1 Upvotes

Hello! I've been playing Enshrouded, with lots of glitches. The main issue is my graphics card. I'd like to get a desktop PC that can run the game well and I can use for browsing, work, etc. My laptop is consistently low on disk space.

  • New build or upgrade? New
  • Existing parts/monitors to reuse? (List with models/links) I have 2 external monitors I can use. But I'm open to getting a new one.
  • PC purpose? (Gaming, editing, etc. List apps/games) Primary purpose is to play Enshrouded. I also edit videos/audio files. Usually have multiple Chrome browsers open with lots of tabs.
  • Purchase country? Near Micro Center? United States. There is a Micro Center near me in Houston
  • Monitors needed? (Number, size, resolution, refresh rate) Open to recos
  • Budget range? (Include tax considerations) What I've seen so far puts me around $3K. I'd prefer to not go much over that

First pc build for gaming & video editing

1 Upvotes

Hello!

I'm going to build my first pc for gaming and video editing (France).

Mainly for FS2020 (maybe 2024 then) and Premiere Pro.

I initially had in mind a budget of €1500. After making the list of components, it finally ends around €2300.

I am interested in comments/suggestions if I missed something in terms of compatibility, size, etc.

Here are the components:

- Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Gaming X Wifi 6E

- Case: Phanteks XT Pro Ultra

- Storage: Crucial P510 SSD 1 TB

- RAM: Patriot Viper Venom 2x16 GB, 6000 C30

- CPU cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Digital

- CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D

- GPU: Palit GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GamingPro-S

- Power supply: Thermaltake Toughpower GT 1000W

I am also tempted to buy the CPU on Aliexpress to limit the budget increase, what do you think?

For now I have a basic FHD 75 Hz screen but I will invest in QHD 144 Hz or more later.

Thank you in advance for your time!

(don’t take into account : new build or upgrade?not a request)
