And Anno 1701 History Edition at the Ubisoft Store (plus all other games / DLCs of this week).

Thank you.

How does one build a PC? Isn’t it better for a person like me to buy one instead of building one? I’m not a damn engineer.

Building a pc isn't that hard as there are plenty of guides on youtube on how to do it. But if you aren't comfortable, there are plenty of pre-builts where when they are on sale, they get pretty close to the price of choosing your own parts. Alternatively, you can typically choose your own parts from say a retailer like newegg and they will have a service to build the pc for you for a fee.

It can take a while, but it's fairly easy because there aren't really that many places you can't screw up at. You can't install the CPU where the GPU should go, for example, because it's just physically impossible and it's very obvious you can't do it. The same very much goes for the rest. The thing I hate the most is connecting those small cables from the case to the motherboard, but even for that, there's typically instructions that come with the motherboard.

Of course that's all assuming you can pick compatible components. It's not rocket science either (each motherboard supports only Intel or AMD CPUs, for example, and never both), but if you're not feeling too sure about yourself, you can always ask people whether the components are compatible and a good choice in general. You can typically get help for that very easily!

Guys, today we have a great contest for all of us!

*** NEW CONTEST ***

HEXUS EPIC Giveaway Day 6: Win a Palit GeForce RTX 3080 GameRock https://hexus.net/tech/features/graphics/147101-day-6-win-palit-geforce-rtx-3080-gamerock/

As you may have guessed, this contest is GLOBAL.

As Yuri and zkuq have already said, building a PC is not as hard as you may think. Sure, it's not like building LEGO, but the thruth is that most components can only go in one place and in one direction, making it easier than it seems. Plus, there are lots of tutorials and videos showing how to do it with clear instructions for each step.

But I understand that it's not for everyone and that's perfectly understandable. Also, as Yuri said, there are store where you can buy a pre-build PC tailored to your needs, with the components of your choice and with a warranty on top of that.

Just don't listen to The Verge when it comes to PC building...

Thanks guys. I want to be able to play the Total War games and meet the recommended requirements. I love strategy games like Age of Empires series and city building games like Caesar and Pharaoh. I would also like to play some of the falcom games missing on the Nintendo Switch, they are all available on Steam. But I mostly want PC for Total War and Age of Empires :)

What are the components I should put the most money on if I want to play these games?
