Everything is really overwhelming for me and I have no clue what I should go for and everyone is giving me differing answers so I ask you. Is building a PC ACTUALLY cheaper than buying one? What specs would I even need? All I wanna do is play arc raiders comfortably at high settings and play heavily modded Garry's mod.

Totally not going water cooling I guess permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 1 child comment replies: [–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 point 20 hours ago I have water cooling in my PC, which I have had to replace as the one that originally came with it from the shop failed after about a year and a half. The failure was not catastrophic however. The failure was in the sealing of the cooler, so when it got hot enough the water eventually evaporated out of it. I haven't had an issue with my new cooler since. permalink fedilink source parent
