Oh okay, that actually seems like on the lower to middle end of things, all things considered.

One of the best things you can do is to check out the system requirements for some of those things you hope to run which can help give you an idea of what you’ll need.

For example, if you view the game House Flippers 2 on Steam, you’ll see the screenshot below which kind of gives you an idea of what you want to aim for in terms of the right pieces you’ll want to buy for your computer:

You’ll ideally want to go for the recommended or above the recommended for the best possible performance of the game. The minimum specs are the absolute lowest that can run this game at its most basic level, which will often not be the best quality or run at the best specs, so you don’t want to follow those.

What are some of the 3D modeling programs you hope to use? That will likely be more intensive, depending on what it is, than the gaming will be.

A great resource for building and budgeting a PC build is pc part picker: https://pcpartpicker.com/

If you’re not familiar with it, it basically helps you find and build a PC and shows you about how much it all will cost you. It’s also a great resource for new beginners since it guides you through exactly what is needed so you don’t end up surprised and have to make multiple trips to the store/purchases online.

Dude you gave me a full tutorial! Thank you so much! The 3d building is not the worst, I have a notebook that don't really run house flipper and does run fusion 360 so I guess the game is heavier.

A lot of those 3d management games that I like don't run in my humble notebook so I need a better pc for it and it would be interesting to have a full pc because I can improve only parts and the notebook is not as flexible

You’re welcome! I’m glad I could provide some helpful stuff to start :)

Ah I see! I’m also a Fusion 360 user too! I was thinking you were talking about stuff like Blender or CGI creation in Unreal Engine which are much more demanding on your computer. But yeah, Fusion 360 isn’t that bad at all!

You’re absolutely right about the specs then! Your gaming sounds like what you will want to check out.

I’d highly recommend visiting the various games’ pages on a site like Steam and seeing their system requirements. You’ll want a good processor and video card (GPU = Graphics Processor Unit, also called a graphics card) more than anything else which most games will really thrive on. Most gamers seem to do well with getting an Intel i5 or i7 or a AMD Ryzen 5 or Ryzen 7. A i9 or Ryzen 9 is probably overkill. For a GPU, this is something you’ll want to research on. I’d recommend checking out some YouTube videos and watch the most recent ones you can that compare the graphics cards and show you how they perform in games. Maybe even check out some YouTubers who showcase the games you’re interested in and can talk about what specs worked well for them too.

Thank you!! I didn't want to overspend in a super amazing graphic card when I'm really only using for smal games. Your tips were awesome I will look into it for sure.
