Thanks! Well everything. I don’t want to overpay for something that it’s not worth it and some of those pcs can go really high up. I also would like a pc good enough to play some 3d games like house fliper and similar bjt nothing too advanced or online. It has to be good enough for those games and some 3d modeling, but again nothing major.
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: 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.
If someone else is in the mood for Skyrim but has done everything in it, try out Tainted Grail - Fall of Avalon. It plays like a smaller Oblivion. It really scratched the itch for more Elder Scrolls for me.
Yup, though I want to add that SteamLink on android is a step further. I’ve exclusively been playing this way ever since.
You get the convenience of mobile with the power of your desktop, plus most phones have Oled screens these days so even better. Also why I don’t own a Steam Deck, as this is just the better option for portable gaming imo.
Any game. It’s a remote desktop app, basically. If it’s a steam game, it will come with a default phone touchscreen gamepad set up and usually there are also official and community layouts you can use. The layouts are… not as good as you might like, and I am frequently having issues with my custom ones disappearing or not loading. But it’s not the worst thing ever and I can play modded skyrim on my phone at work.
Non-steam games can be added to the steam library and you can manage their controller schemes the same way- sometimes they will even have community layouts available also. MMV with non-steam games. For example, Valorant won’t recognize my mouse click on my phone. And certain apps apparently force you into a “local input only” mode and might kinda break your setup until you play around with it a bit (don’t go into task manager lol).
But yes, you can also easily connect a bluetooth controller to your phone and any game that uses a controller works great.
I personally use a PS4 controller with a phone mount. The weight distribution is maybe a bit less comfortable depending on what angle your hold it, but it’s pretty compact and the controller itself is great quality this way.
same setup here! only i’m using a ps5 controller. i actually swapped the clamp for a magsafe car adapter i had lying around, turned out it was the exact same thread size.
the main benefit really is that official controllers (switch pro, xbox, ps, whatever) just feel way better quality-wise. plus you can still use them on pc or the actual console. totally agree on the weight though, you definitely have to adjust the angle depending on how you’re sitting. and yeah it’s technically portable but i wouldn’t pull this out on a train lol, mostly just for the couch at home. and if you already have a controller lying around, the mount is only gonna cost a few bucks, even a used ps4 controller is super cheap.
Aside from the weight, I don’t know why but I felt my setup was more shaky this way… That’s why the telescopic controller is still my way to go when I want to properly play on mobile.
I feel the same with modern games. But some of the retro achievements point you to hidden places and secrets, and challenges to complete.
So it’s a little different.
I kinda agree with you. I don’t use retro achievements because I’m an obsessed completionist. That means that I’d keep playing one game well beyond the point it stopped being fun just to tick all those boxes.
That’s what I have and I love it because it feels solid to use. I bought an expensive Backbone because it was marketed pretty well, but it just felt so flimsy that it had to be returned.
If you already have a Xbox/PlayStation/Switch controller, you can also use that. There are very cheap mounts you can buy for each of these controllers for ~$10 USD that will allow you to hook up to your phone seated on top of the controller. You might even be able to 3D print a mount too.
It’s not nearly as comfortable as this is (though you could say it is because the controller, itself feels better in the hands, but I’m talking viewing angle) but it’s a lot cheaper and doesn’t require buying a new, dedicated controller.
Not knocking your suggestion, OP. Just providing a secondary alternative too.
