Need Help | Newbie First PC Build

themasterofnone#2129

It's my first time building a PC and I have zero knowledge about it, that includes what type of brands are good, part compatibility, etc.

Anyways, I posted a detailed topic in Reddit if anyone wanna check it out. I tried to be as detailed as I can be in that topic to help people have a better idea as to what kind of PC I want to build.

Note: if planning on recommending a PCPartPicker, do so in Canadian currency or this.

No need to check it out since it's not relevant for playing PWI.
To get help building your pc just ask people from your hardware store for tips and have enough money ready. As for PWI: any computer with Win10/11 a nice GFX card en enough HDD space would be enough.

Thanks for your time looking into this post of mine. Just wanted to kindly let you know that the reason why I posted this thread under Off-Topic Discussion is because it's not related to PWI in general.

If you were to read the link I included in this post, you would know that I will be ordering all the parts online due to the fact that the nearest PC store near me is roughly 2 hours worth of commute. As for the money part, I got that covered which is also part of that link.

I'm not entirely sure if you're kidding or not because having these stuff can of course run PWI.

Overall, I appreciate your time leaving a comment here and by no means am trying offend you.

Thanks.

you forget 1 thing: 64-bit procs. Not sure if it's even possible to buy a 32-bit processor nowadays. As a GFX card I would go for the Geforce but this is already mentioned on the other website (see first post). Also for PWI it's not needed to use the max. resolution. HDMode in PWI isn't really HD but only some other textures/polygons. I already build many comp's. however if it's also for the other games (see the other site) I would still play PWI in Windowed mode. This is because I also use Adobe software, office, and multiple browsers. Many peops on my server play windowed mode just to have multiple PWI clients active and windowed is much easier than using the shortcut Win+Tab. In short: any modern build would to the job for themasterofnone.

a bit offtopic: I use 'the other site' because as far as I know we aren't allowed to put links to other sites in this forum. But I can be wrong.

Good recommendation for PWI but a totally overkill too. PWI is an old game so doesn't need good hardware. If you can run Win10 you can play PWI. Even if you run Win on a virtual system. It's better to check other (newer) games and then build a pc. That's unless you like the recommendation and need 8+ PWI accounts online at the same time.
