First time building a PC

[Estados]

Hello all Im looking to build a PC for the first time but i am a total newbie in this.

i came across a website call logicalincrements(dot)com which gives recommendation for the parts. is that site reliable?

i am looking to build a rather general desktop that can play games like CS:GO and some of the newer game. (doesnt have to run on max setting just something decent.

You will get much better recommendations here.

It would be better to ask here

We can give more localised recommendations based on current prices

Don't need black for storage drive lol

 

[Jian19]

why would u need a wd black when u aready have a ssd ?

nothing to do with performance, rather for the quality.
a even better choice will be a WD Red.

Simi quality when it is really just better performance?

I got 1 WD Black 1 year up lorry liao. Tell me about it.

TS is budget oriented, ask him pay for intangible benefits is

 

[royfrosty]

Why black wd?

No difference in performance when a SSD is already equipped. And also the quality does not matter whether its green, blue, red, black, purple.

All HDD have moving mechanical parts. And the tendency to break or fail is very high.

Doesnt really matter where and what color is it. Just get the blue.

ok thanks to all

btw i got one last question.

actually my pc is still working fine but has been ard for quite sometime and tats the reason behind why i want to upgrade.

so i was wondering would it be better to upgrade everything at one go. or buy parts month by month until i replace everything?

Just buy everything at one go.
