I just built my first PC and, knowing virtually nothing about PC's beforehand, I think I did a pretty good job. Apart from some basic "no shit" mistakes it went fairly smoothly. Running all the cables and trying to find where they hook up was a headache but otherwise it wasn't too bad. I even got some officially licensed "Attaboys" from my nerd dad. I've never had a hard on for performance so I'm not gonna be overclocking my terraflops or tracing all of my rays just yet but it should run games pretty well so I'm happy. No RGB either.

Congrats.
Made a Steam account yet?
I've been building a wishlist for, like, a year in anticipation of this moment. Also been following Troutpaste's free games board and getting a ton of decent stuff.

The worst part is the case had built in cables for additonal RGB and it was driving me crazy trying to figure what they were and where they went because they weren't properly labeled as "bullshit I don't need".

Looks good. I probably would have spent more on the GPU so i dont have to worry about it for like 8 years

he'd probably need more powerful PSU since everything new that's out right now is a power hog.

For those who know, how decent is TCs build? What are like the higher-end games he can play decently with his rig? I know very little about PCs but $1000 seems very reasonable for something as future-proof as a PC

It should be able to run everything out right now on the highest settings.

Depends what you mean by future proof. It'll do great with current gen and cross gen stuff but next gen consoles overall have the edge in comparison. But I'm sure he'll still be able to at least play every game on it for many years yet and if he wants higher settings he probably can get away with just upgrading the GPU in 2-4 years and beat the new consoles. That's if he's even unhappy with how games look which if he sticks with 1080p and no ray tracing it'll likely hold up fine anyway.

Do you just get used to using mouse and keyboard? Just playing Borderlands for less than an hour made me feel like I was getting carpal tunnel. I know it's supposed to be technically superior to a controller but this WASD claw hand shit is not good.

Most every game these days have native controller support. I use them mostly for single player and 3rd person games. Ill switch over to KB+M on occasion but you dont have to force it if your not enjoying it.

Trying is the first step towards failure, so just dont give it a shot and you cant dissapoint.

Eventually yes. But if you prefer controller don't stress and just use it.

This, at least at 1080p

I have the same GPU and RAM with a Ryzen 7 3700x and can max out RDR2 and get like 60fps. Everything else runs at max settings 144fps.

I'll definitely default to controller for most stuff but I've always heard KBM is the definitive FPS experience and I'd like to at least keep it open as an option. Especially for online.

It takes a bit of time. You get used to it. It took me a while to get good at it. I like to change around some of the controls like melee to a mouse button.
