Know nothing about pc's, but want to build one.

[DemonTitania]

Hello! I'm currently gaming on an old and crappy laptop, but lately its been acting up so it's really in need of a replacement. I have no parts that I can take to a new PC, everything has to be newly bought. I have a budget of 1800-2000, but I'd preferably stay around the 1800. What would you recommend me to buy, and are there any things I need to watch out when buying parts? For example parts or brands that don't combine? Thanks for the help in advance!

(I'm an absolute noob at PC building, and I even had to have friends explain me what a gpu is, so I'm sorry if my questions come over as dumb!)

Watch plenty of videos on YouTube and do your own research. If you don't want to do that, but yourself a pre built machine. With £2k you'll get yourself a very good machine

So for around 1800 I would go for this;
My basket at Overclockers UK:

• 1 x Patriot Viper Steel 32GB (2x16GB) DDR4 PC4-28800C18 3600MHz Dual Channel Kit (PVS432G360C8K)= £158.99
• 1 x Phanteks AMP 750W 80 Plus Gold Modular Power Supply= £106.99
• 1 x MSI MAG B550 Tomahawk (AMD AM4) B550 ATX Motherboard= £149.99
• 1 x WD Blue SN550 1TB NVME M.2 2280 PCIe Gen3 Solid State Drive (WDS100T2B0C)= £109.99
• 1 x Lian-Li Lancool II Mesh performance Midi-Tower Case - Black= £74.99
• 1 x LG 27GL850-B 27" 2560x1440 NANO IPS 144Hz 1ms FreeSync/G-Sync Compatible Widescreen LED Gaming Monit= £349.99
• 1 x Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 240mm= £79.99

Total: £1,058.95 (includes shipping: £28.02)​

​

Add a Ryzen 5600x (Currently not in stock) and a 3070 (currently not in stock)

Sorted. Awesome gaming machine, one of the best monitors and all round beast.

Arctic Liquid Freezer II High Performance CPU Water Cooler - 240mm= £79.99

Zero need for such expensive cooler for only 6 core Ryzen.

Alpenfohn Brocken Eco Advanced in discount for £20 is actualle little heavier than Freezer 34.

And its "big brother" would be £43

I haven't suggested a Freezer34, why are you comparing a very good performing AIO to a £20 air cooler?

Freezer II beats both the Eco and Brocken 3 by a good few degrees also.

Only six core Ryzen doesn't need expensive cooler.
And for example £43 would get really beefy cooler. (and certain to last long, unlike waterpipe coolers)
