This one:Hello! I appreciate everyone's replies alot! Even though as much as I tried, I didn't understand... Most of them (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩). I really appreciate all the help! So from what I've gathered. I have this build recommended
PC Builder - Wootware
Use the PC Builder to build your new epic computer for gaming, office, or personal use. Easily choose components for each hardware category and assist with compatibility. Woot up your life using the Wootware PC Builder today.builder.wootware.co.za
(Although a new case was recommended but (´༎ຶ ͜ʖ ༎ຶ `)♡ is the case i have selected bad? It's my favorite out of all of them, the subtle blue color is so pretty)
And then this build.
PC Builder - Wootware
Use the PC Builder to build your new epic computer for gaming, office, or personal use. Easily choose components for each hardware category and assist with compatibility. Woot up your life using the Wootware PC Builder today.
So these both seem like finalized builds -
(the case, since I've been getting recommended other ones I'm not sure yet (nooo don't tell me this case won't work( ཀ ʖ̯ ཀ))
Are they both on the same level or is the more expensive one the better bet? Again really appreciate all the help!

My general advice is OP should slow down and learn while doing.... OP seems to be at the very start or a potentially more expensive than necessary journey. Don't rush pulling the trigger, buyers regret is not nice.
One thing to do is reading up on each part separately over a period of time to get a better understanding of the pros and cons. Reviews etc to compare, don't blindly trust that something will actually do what it is advertised as but if there is a rush, have WootWare vet and build the PC for you, they know what they are doing..... also send them a link to this thread so they can better understand you situation I think.
If really you want to build your first PC yourself rather get the parts second hand, mistakes will be less painful that way.

Hello! So the second one seems to be the general best then? One last question, do I need to add a Wi-Fi thing? Also do I need to add the windows?
Also to answer rambo919, I appreciate the concern!! I don't plan to build this myself, I plan to have Woodware build it for me! I just want a basic budget computer to play some games is all so I don't mind if it's nothing crazy or mid. Nothing really major. As long as I can play my games, I won't have buyers regret! I want to buy the pc before my holiday is over though that's why I've asked here instead of doing a lot of research (even though I've tried (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩) . thanks again! !

SO glad the case will work, thank you.
Awesome so when I add the option for them to build it for me, there won't be any problems I hope. Yes! Definitely lol

Not the second one, the last one that I just linked.
I just added it because your original motherboard had built-in wifi so I assumed you chose that board because you need wifi. If you can plug your pc directly into the router then do that instead and skip the wifi dongle.
If you already have a windows key then you should be able to re-use it.
You can also get windows keys elsewhere, probably for cheaper.
There's also ways to get windows for free, which I don't think we are allowed to discuss here.
You can buy a cheap key here and install it yourself. https://mybroadband.co.za/forum/thr...rofessional-retail-keys.1288463/post-33174269
If you don't want to hassle with installing windows yourself then Wootware does have an option to install Windows without a key for R100

Yes that one!
Ahh I might have to add the dongle then cuz my WiFi is I'm my sitting room and my desk is in my bedroom. Good to know.
This is really good to know! I will definitely do that then lol save money. Again I really appreciate all the advice! This has helped me SO much

You'll definitely be pleased with your investment when you get to play with it. The 7500f / RX 6800 is a strong combination when compared to the hardware most gamers play with (according to the Steam survey - not an exact science but a useful guide) - what you're getting is high-end by that standard.
Enjoy.
ps. I know you said your monitor would be a separate purchase but just some advice - the machine you're purchasing is overkill for a 1080p 60hz monitor. You can either up the resolution (1440p) or the refresh rate or ideally, a combination of both. Something like a 1440p 144hz monitor would be a good idea and there are good budget options for that now. I paid almost 7 grand for my 1440p 144hz monitor a few years back but those specs have come down to 4.5k now.
I'm gladd!! I'm sooo excited!
Oh wow didn't realize I could go for a 1440p. there's one I want that's nice on Woodware but no stock until end of August (-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩___-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩-̩̩̩) . The only other 1440p that's decently priced is a curved one. I've never used a curved monitor so I'm a bit uncertain but it's nice to know I can get a 1440p! I know more about monitors at least so I'll know what to get lol.
Ik I've said it a lot lol but thanks again! It's been so helpful ♡´･ᴗ･`♡

My monitor is curved and I don't notice it anymore - it's the in-between ratio of 1500R which is less curved than 1000R but more curved than 1800R. I'd say 1000R would be more jarring but the other 2 ratios are not far from flat.
Maybe wander over to a shop that stocks monitors and have a look first-hand...maybe an Incredible, Makro or Hi-Fi Corp type place?
No problem re the help - it's tradition round here
I will try! I've changed my case and some of the items to white and some nice argb! So I hope it's going to look really nice (≡^∇^≡)
Fjskkfke that's not good for me since I actually do get motion sick in the car at times. I plan to look in town for some otherwise just gonna buy it and luckily with the 30 day hassle free exchange, I'll see if it works or not.
That's good for know! I think a curved monitor looks soooooofbekf idk like pretty and fancy. So it'll be nice if it just increases the immersion and not make me dizzy.My monitor is curved and I don't notice it anymore - it's the in-between ratio of 1500R which is less curved than 1000R but more curved than 1800R.

Yes I plan to do that!
Lol I will try! Thanks! ヾ(＾-＾)ノ
The thing with motion sickness is it can sneak up on you either fast or over time. For some people even flat ultra wides do it. We all understand the excitement you must be feeling when it comes to bigger better monitors but be careful.
Not sure if this will work for you, but I have a chassis/case for sale. Never gonna need it. Could save you a few hundred if it's workable.
