I am going to build my first PC and plan to use it mainly for gaming. The PC on the market is more or less unsatisfactory. But I don't know much about it. If I want a high-end configuration, what should a game PC have? What are the requirements for components, formats and design? I really need your advice.
If you are kinda rich, I suggest you to buy Oculus Rift. You can play games like Beat Saber which is really fun and healthy to play. I cannot suggest you normal PC games cuz I play only Hearthstone and World of Warcraft. My PC is great with Nvidia GTX 1050 but couldn’t support VR Headset :/
Strong peripherals. This is something often overlooked, but can make a big difference. I recently got a Logitech G603 wireless mouse and G613 wireless keyboard, and they added a lot to the overall experience. Plus it was only like $150 total, and it feels like money well spent tbh.
Also, at least a 1060 or 1070 NVidia card (8gb). But as others have noted, it really makes a difference in your budget and desired outcome.
Im a casual gamer, and I got myself an Alienware 15R4, and it is way more power than I really needed. I can run all major titles in high/ultra settings in 1080 at 60fps, which is fine for me. It will likely stay relevant for a few years too since i don’t HAVE to play everything that way.
I really appreciate seeing so many replies, I don't have a specific reference for the budget, but building a mid-range gaming PC can satisfy my requirements. I am not rich enough. I am not easy to find an article with a complete guide on what the game PC should have, but it seems to be too specialized, I need you to help me look at it.
if you don't have a lot of money, and you don't have a friend who can help you with this and you haven't done this before I'd suggest you go to a shop in your town that does this kind of thing and let them build it for you or just buy a pc that say gaming and is within your budget, you can't go wrong
I really can't tell you much unless you give me an exact figure
below you can find an example build I made within 5 minutes without much thinking, I would consider this a mid-range build that will play most of the current games in very decent details level and very decent framerate, the build doesn't include any peripherals but again, you haven't mentioned if you need them, for the cheapest monitor+keyboard+mouse you will probably have to add another ~£150
Be sure to get SSD hard drive. It will probably cost a bit more than regular one and will have a bit less space for the price, but it is sooooo worth it.

Or SSHD, cheaper and good

I'm currently building a new pc myself as a newbie. Well, rather i'm trying to put all the parts i bought together. Managing all the cables is a huuge struggle but i'm getting there.. eventually haha
With my current hindsight i think for most ppl it's probably the best to just buy a decent "gaming" pc from a store or order one.
Maybe, if you are down to slam down thorough research on the single parts you wanna get whitout forgetting to check for compatibility, you can let a pro put together your configuration, there are sites for that aswell.
But make sure the case it's comes with is a big tower Full ATX, a big spacey case makes things more easier. And that the case and motherboard has (enough) modern connections/ports, one example currently being like Gen 2 USB 3.1 i think.
I feel like most of the parts in a pc except the case are actually replacable. Because it's stupid to be buying a whole brand new pc just because one single part, for example your GPU, ain't sufficient anymore.
And from all the parts you are going to replace over the years, the case is, if ever most likely the last one. You guys can correct me if i'm wrong on that.
Aside from the case all parts i personally think are somewhat equal, meaning you shouldn't really cheap out on anything if you want a PC that's ready for the future immediately like VR for example.
But don't mistakely buy something that's not designed for a regular user. For example there are some extremely expensive CPUs, GPUs and PSUs that are for high end corporate servers or professional workers.

Thank you a lot!
Before we can start helping you, we need to know a couple of things:
What do you want to spend, what do you want to do with it?
An on/off button
what's your budget?
what kind of games you want to be playing?
do you have monitors? keyboard? mouse? or are you just shopping for the box?
are you going to build it yourself? have you done this before? do you have a friend that knows how to build a pc?
I probably could go on with questions, but let's start with these :)
You need a CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, HDD AND/OR SSD, case, cooler

For a 750$ build the best would probably be to get Rx 580 and ryzen 2600

Keyboard and mouse
A man of culture.
Playing Hearthstone in German solely for Garrosh sounds. Sieg oder Tod!
Lol

Hope that helps.
2 days later and OP hasn't returned with any answers to further be able to help him.
That was a waste of time for everyone.

https://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/pullaaaaa/saved/#view=JfPP3C that's a quite budget build, costs about 600 euros if you upgrade to dual channel memory and include the b450m because micro atx is cheaper and less space consuming
