Slap together a cheap piece of shit for her and pocket the rest. She probably won't be able to tell.

This. If you want to be elaborate, show them some shitty pre-built that costs $1000, build the same rig for less than half the price and pocket the rest

>>16182122

This. Just add a fistfull of glowsticks.

>>16182109

Come up with an excuse not to do it because once you do something for family they will be calling you every time they break it and will blame you for it.

>>16182135

Oh I’m not gonna build shit for them. They just want some advice from me but like I said I haven’t built a pc in years. I’m not sure what cpus, GPUs, or memory even are out now.

Or you can do this >>16182124

Show them pre-built from an expensive seller. Order the parts somewhere cheaper and pocket the rest.

>>16182143

OK… Medium use. 1050ti with 4-8gb ram and some i3 or i5 cpu. that should be ok

buy some nigger 500 dollar tower from ebay or bestbuy and stick a 1060 in it

>spoonfeed me thread

Ryzen 2600

Some B450 mobo

16 gigs 3000MHz ram

RX 570/580 *(

Some good brand modular 650W PSU

decent case

>>16182404

500 gig SSD and whatever else is to spare for HDDs

What the hell do they want to play if they're retarded?

Get on off the shelf HP or someshit and slap something like that >>16182157 gay shit in it so they're not at least running off some integrated trash. Installing an SSD is probably above your grade but make sure the cunting thing at least has a 7200 RPM hard drive.

SSDs have gotten a lot cheaper over the years. For a 1k budget at least get a hybrid drive or something.

Alienware is unironically great. When system was under warranty the dude literally showed up the next day to replace the liquid heatsink.

>jewing your own family out of money

That's how you know you are a shitty human being.

Scroll down and get the "Great" computer.

You'll be able to run any current gen game such as GTAV with ease that way and will have infinitely better parts than any prebuilt computer by default.

>>16182840

That's true. They're obviously still more expensive than HDD. But now they're actually worth buying. The difference in performance is crazy.

After getting the parts look up a jewtube video about how to build a PC.

Then you are set.

Make sure to plug the HDMI cable in the CPU port when first starting up your computer, I personally was putting the cable in the wrong port and I was just about to have a fucking panic attack because of that.

>>16182883

>plug the HDMI cable in the CPU port

wat

Oh yeah and OP, is a Monitor, Keyboard, Headset and a Mouse within your shopping cart too? Or do you already have those? You should adjust the parts your getting if you plan on buying those too. A cheap keyboard, headset and mouse would be fine, but a decent Monitor would cost around $90-$100 bucks.

I payed around $950 for my current pc, monitor included.

>>16182915

You meant the GPU HDMI port instead of a motherboard integrated HDMI port? I could see someone making that mistake and thinking their monitor was broken, if they didn't understand what any of the hardware did.

>>16182143

Tell them to fucking google how to build their own PC. It's not difficult. There's a million and one websites that do this. Make sure to tell them that getting a "prebuilt" that costs a grand will be like getting a $600 PC they build themselves and will have a cheap Chinese knockoff PSU that will probably either fry the motherboard or explode in a few years.

>>16182404

>3000mhz ram on b450 mobo

are you stupid?

>>16182109

Pre-builts are a really bad idea but there are sites that let you pick from a list of parts and put them together for you. Use one of those.

>>16182109

If you're not retarded, don't ever buy a prebuilt. They don't last.

You can use a third of that money to buy an equivalent in pieces.

They have shitty plastic cases that gather dust and limit ventilation. They charge you three times for underpowered parts. They come with pre-installed bloat making it even slower and bothersome to use.

You might find it a hassle, but you'll save money and stress in the long run.

>>16182109

Also, you get more choices for a nice looking case at a size you want. Get a small cute case.

Just tell them to use PC Part Picker and Logical Increments.

Honestly putting a computer together nowadays is so easy even your average normalfag can do it.

>>16195942

>Get a small cute case

>Not getting a case large enough to stuff a small child into, in order to futureproof for when GPUs inevitably become the size of shoeboxes and require heatsink fans as big as desk fans

I mean… do what you want I guess.
