Hey guys,

I would like to ask you what kind of PC build setup would you get for $5000, I don't need Monitor, Keyboard, Mouse. My current PC is shit, that's why I want to build a new one but I am not a tech person. I have 50 tabs open, downloading lots of stuff and browsing constantly, using many software for scraping and other things, so I guess I would need 32 GB of memory and powerful processor to not have any problems with lagging and freezing.

I was thinking about getting this setup https://techbuyersguru.com/5000-ultra-extreme-gaming-productivity-pc-build

What do you think about it?
 
I guess traffic leaking the traffic leakers is the final level - where the student becomes the master. This is a pretty good example - even I fell for it. Outbound links going straight to Amazon and everything - right during Christmas holiday - this was a good one.

I don't know, when I saw the name "TechBuyersGuru" I immediately thought something was up. Don't know why people create brand names like this tbh, just screams crappy affiliate site in my opinion.

No offense if its your site OP lol, atleast the layout is kinda nice
 
It's not my site guys, I wish lol - I truly need some help here with setup, I know there is plenty of tech guys here, so I thought it would be good to ask. I will remove the URL if it's distracting you and if you think that I have anything to do with that site.

I'd go with the latest top tier Intel cpu, 32gb of RAM, m.2 SSD, graphics card depends on if you wanna game or do video editing etc. Anyway, check out https://pcpartpicker.com. You can use it to select parts and see if they're compatible.

The thing is the majority (over 90% of them) of online users have zero clue what an affiliate site or or that people are getting paid commissions off their click-thrus. Think like your target audience, so that brand name will work for a good chuck of the population.

My rule of thumb is - if my mom or dad or siblings know about it then the majority of people will. If they don’t then same goes for people. When my mom came to me asking about bitcoin... I knew right then and there it was time to get out :D
 
That's super overkill for a work computer. If money is no object, go for it, but you could easily spend less than half of that and still have a beastly overkill work rig, unless you're doing heavy rendering and stuff.

If you're going to be gaming on it, keep in mind that it'll still be super overkill unless you get a monitor that can even support the higher framerates. Some people spend a ton of hardware but then they only have a 60hz monitor, making all that extra graphics power essentially pointless.

If I spent $5000 on a PC, it better also do the dishes and make my bed for me.

In all seriousness though, I would browse through PCPartPicker's community builds. Really helps to figure out how to get the most bang for your buck. With $5000, you could either end up building something worth $3000 or $8,000. You'll be able to find some quality information from the highest rated builds and use that to piece together your own build (or just copy a highly rated build).
 
For $5K+, I'd want a minimum of 64gb ram and 8-10+ core i7 cpu.

Ideally that means server-grade stuff, and probably Intel Xeon cpu's. If it was me, I'd be spending probably $2K+ on the CPU, and possibly even a dual CPU system. I'd also be going for 16-22 core Xeons and minimum 128gb ram, but then I am usually about excess in most things. ;-)
 
So, do you think guys that build is not truly worth $5000 or what?
 
What are you going to use it for? Pretty much all the tasks in your original post are io bound, so need a fast SSD and a good network connection, that's it.
 
I use lots of software like GSA Search Engine Ranker, Captcha Breaker, Scrapebox/Gscraper, Screaming Frog, Custom software, also I constantly browse and have 50-100 tabs opened, I download lots of data, all of that can consume really a lot of ram memory and my current PC have only 3GB of ram memory for all tasks above for software I been using VPS/Dedicated servers, but now I want to upgrade and have great machine on my own and not pay for VPS/Dedicated servers.
 
I think $5k for what you're describing is overkill. You COULD spend that much but you can't really future proof a computer by spending more, you can only get more power in the current era of parts.

More RAM will definitely help in your situation of using lots of data with big spreadsheets and CSV's and all that. 32GB would be very comfortable, I wouldn't go beyond that unless you have an amazing deal up for grabs.

Another thing with dual, quad, and octo core CPUs is the software you're using most likely doesn't support more than 4 cores, if that. That's something to look into. You could get 8 cores and only be able to use 2 for 99% of the work you do.
 
I spent 5k on my PC and peripherals (2 screens, keyboard, trackball) a 3D printer, oculus glasses + controllers and 3 tables and chair.
Granted, the printer was not the cheapest, but I cheaped our on the furniture (IKEA).

5k for just the machine is complete overkill.
