first ever pc build for gaming
Posted by Accomplished-Shop762@reddit | buildapc | View on Reddit | 5 comments
I want to build a pc for gaming mainly, but also the possibility of running other programs used for art, like Adobe Illustrator and Blender. I am mainly a cozy gamer who enjoys games with a lot of story and pretty visuals.
New build or upgrade? - new build
Existing parts/monitors to reuse? - I would like the Hyte Y70 touch infinite for the case https://hyte.com/store/y70/cs-hyte-y70tti-ww. Although if a better case exists for a cottagecore/nature theme, definitely suggest it! I mainly picked this one because of the size and screen, allowing for a lot of customization when it comes to decor inside and outside the case. I also already have a monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
PC purpose? - (Gaming, editing, digital art programs) - Games like Baldur's Gate, and Minecraft with mods, but I also want to use it for Blender and Photoshop.
Purchase country? the US
Monitors needed? I already have a monitor, not sure how great it is, but it was a gift, and I've been happy with it so far.
Budget range? (Include tax considerations) - Around $1500-1700 USD
WiFi or wired connection? I am not sure what this means, but I'm guessing I want a Wifi connection?
Size/noise constraints? - I'm not sure fully, but I guess, however big the case is. And I guess as quiet as possible.
Colour/lighting preferences? - I'd like LED lights in the pc. I am thinking I want a nature/cottagecore theme, so more natural-looking colors would be great. Greens and browns and warm-toned lighting.
Any other specific needs? - Any cute decorations or addons, I like PCs that have mini screens that show displays in them!!
Anyone who responds, thank you! I am totally lost when it comes to this stuff.
happy to answer any questions as well!

if you have microcenter awaileable you could go with something like this

Take a look.
The Hyte Y70 simply doesn't fit the budget. You will have to sacrifice performance for the aesthetics of the case which I don't recommend.
This build is an all white build. Also you can customize the RGB, so you can choose color whatever color you would like to pair with your all white build.
It has a RTX 5070 12GB GPU, which will play games in 1440p and also work very well in blender, adobe etc
You can buy the said mini screens from Amazon or Aliexpress.

There's some decent mATX case options like Lian-Li's DAN A3 which could look good with the wood accents. If you want a glass side for showing off, Okinos Cypress or the Lancool 217 wood. Cooler Master Elite 690 is also a fishtank design with the more natural accents which you could try to tie things together with and is dirt cheap.
Hyte is definitely more on the luxury brand side

To be clear, you want to spend a quarter of your budget on the case?
