Which PC is best for me?

I have a question: Which PC is best for me?
I currently have a PC that is not performing too well. So I'm interested in a new one. Maybe someone can recommend a PC to me; I brew the PC for work and home office, but also for games. It is enough if he can transfer Minecraft in super quality and also record it.

Most importantly: it has to be able to handle many programs that are open at the same time, but also have enough power to be able to play Minecraft and other games well on it.

Have the same configuration (but built it myself, with some other parts), Minecraft itself runs in UHD with 144fps. The Ryzen is also sufficient for streaming / recording Minecraft, because Minecraft uses a maximum of 4 CPU cores anyway.

If you can wait with a new PC, wait. Because at the moment there are hardly any good parts available and those that are available are overpriced, especially processors and GPUs.

But if you are looking for one (if there really is no other way)

Look up:

Processor: i5 or i7, preferably an unlocked 8, 9 or 10 Gen. (depending on your budget)

CPU cooler: air cooler (no water), which simply has a good rating and fits on the CPU

RAM: 16 GB with at least 2666 MHz

GPU: Very difficult, price-performance ratio is good for the GTX 16 series (e.g. 1650S)
Would recommend a 3060 to you, but you can't buy one for one
normal price…

Hard disk space: A 500GB SSD and (depending on your budget) a 1TB / 2TB SSD / HDD

Mainboard: ATX, should be compatible with processor, Asus is good, you can't go wrong with them

Case: ATX, should have good airflow

Power supply: Simply nothing cheap with 700 watts or more

Apart from the absolutely miserable prices for GPUs, a good mid-range PC would be sufficient.

An Intel Core i5 or an AMD Ryzen 5, depending on whether you want Intel or AMD, would be sufficient.

Graphics card… Yes… A gtx 1660 super would be sufficient or something up-to-date like the RTX 3060;)

In addition, a suitable motherboard from Asus, MSI or Gigabyte. Are actually all three good manufacturers. A decent cooler, for example a Bequiet Dark Rock Slim or Dark Rock 4 Pro.

16GB of RAM should be sufficient, it would use 3200MHz and with AMD I would even choose 3600MHz.

Housing is actually your choice, but would pay attention to a good airflow and possibly an insulated housing because of the noise level.

A nice 600-700W power supply from Bequiet (Pure Power) and that should be wat

There are now 11th Gen Intel CPUs (the i5-11400 actually makes sense).

You shouldn't take the 8th and 9th Gen Intel CPUs anymore, they are 2-3 years old and the FS will probably want to use the PC for 2-5 years.

And you shouldn't just rely on the motherboard manufacturer. MSI makes junk, Gigabyte makes junk and so does ASUS (or motherboards without cooled voltage converters, which is not good for such CPUs).

An HDD should only be used for recording, but not a 2TB HDD.

Pa

I think at least i9 and i7 of the 11th gen are not really good…
Yes, because of the videos I thought of an HDD, since you can get it pretty cheap today, you could also use 2 TB. I think if you look at reviews you can't go wrong with mainboards, you just shouldn't spend too little, but you can very quickly spend too much on a mainboard

tr

, correct.

I also agree with the i9-11900k and i7-11700k, where you should rather use a Ryzen 7 5800X or i7-10700k.

The 8th Gen Intel CPUs will soon be 4 years old, so you shouldn't take them.

Here's a tip from me: You can still use your old PC with a Linux distro. For example Lubuntu. This distro only needs 1/3 of the system resources that Windows 10 would otherwise need and goes off like a rocket. Here is the download of the ISO:

https://cdimage.ubuntu.com/...4/release/

This is the current stable long-term support version. After the download, simply iron the ISO onto an empty formatted stick using Rufus https://rufus.ie/de/.

Then boot the stick and follow the instructions of the wizard. In the installation options simply select "Erase hard drive and install Lubuntu". I recommend doing a full installation. You should also select the "Third-party software" option. Firefox, Libreoffice, multimedia components, codecs and tools are installed at the same time. In addition, the hardware is set up automatically. A restart takes place after the installation is complete. When the desktop appears, the update manager reports. These updates should be installed. This can also be automated so that it runs in the background.

Even with Linux you don't have to do without Skype, Microsoft Teams, Discord, Minecraft. It is available for download as a DEB file. DEB files are installation packages that can be installed simply by double-clicking:

Skype: https://go.skype.com/...nux-64.deb

Microsoft Teams: https://www.microsoft.com/...loadregion You need the Linux DEB 64bit package
Discord: https://discord.com/api/download?platform=linux&format=deb

Minecraft Java Edition: https://launcher.mojang.com/...ecraft.deb If Java is not yet installed, it will be installed automatically.

If you want to download YouTube videos there too, simply install this Firefox add-on: https://addons.mozilla.org/...-download/

Putting icons on the desktop is also easy. To do this, hold the desired one in the start menu with a click and then drag it to the desktop. The rest is self-explanatory.

That would be perfect for you https://hardwarerat.de/...ws-10?c=88

That's right, I took i7 10700k last year, my girlfriend bought one herself (also in 2020), which has an i7 3rd gen inside. Yikes.
